Sales have stalled partly because “the sellers are not bringing prices down fast enough,” Mr. Lereah said. “They’ve been very stubborn.”

Gee, Dave, can you think of any reason why they might be stubbornly refusing to drop prices at all, let alone “fast enough?”

Do you think maybe it’s because you’ve told them eight billion times in the last couple years that they won’t have to? That prices won’t go down?
