[quote=briansd1]I actually think that CA Renter makes a good point about human psychology.
I think that there’s an aversion to handing a huge profit to a seller, especially when we know for certain what the seller paid for the item.
That’s what we call usury.

No, Brian. Usury is something else.
usury: an exorbitant or unlawful rate of interest
usury: (comes from the Medieval Latin usuria, “interest” or from the Latin usura “interest”) originally meant the charging of interest on loans. This would have included charging a fee for the use of money, such as at a bureau de change.
usury: Charging interest in excess of the maximum rate as set by law.
