to me its just like the Playstation 10s.. people raise the price by want.. if nobody bites the price drops... nobody "needs"one..
if you get in a bidding war its your own fault..
it is very similar to the stock market..
by it is artificially made an issue by flippers.. if no flippers there will be ammo on the shelf then no need for higher prices..
capitalism =yes
profiteering=no
market squeeze by buying up all the inventory=no
