Prices are NOT "determined" by the market. They're determined by two people who want to trade. Nobody is REQUIRED to trade with you only at "the market price" - otherwise there would never be any change in prices!

pvn,

Do me a favor for a day. Next time you go to the supermarket, offer to pay less than the prices charged.

It's funny that you think of "the market" as something that can be represented by one single store.

Change it to a collection of stores, and as long as a competitor is offering an item at a lower price, you probably WILL be able to negotiate down to that price! But people don't sell you things just because you tell them to. They have to decide it's fair for them too. Otherwise there would be no market, we'd live a lot like apes, and the conversation would be moot.

It's posts like these that make me wonder about you, Phil.
