SDR, I think we Piggs are just a little suspicious when we see parts of our system ignoring low prices while other parts highlight high prices. Maybe it’s all just accidental, but it feels like all those medical billing errors – each is a good-faith error, but 90% of them are overbilling.
I think banks are consciously trying to avoid recording lower prices in the places where it matters, where it would transmit immediately to all buyers and comps. And yes, the result is to screw buyers into paying more than a fully transparent market would produce, so there is a nasty consequence.
Oh, and if one of the regular Piggs is interested in setting up a bulk buying pool, I am interested (as a contributor of money only).
