I'm not going to argue but there are laws called supply, demand, and what the
market will bare.  The onus is on sellers to get as much as they can that's what
they are in business for, not to make friends.  Further quit making out like you
are Shroeders friend, and that you are supporting him because he's trying to
better chess computing.  You buy his products not because you like him, but
because you think he has one of the best products. You never had any intention
of supporting shroeder.  Your only intention was to get what you thought was the
best product available for your own personal enjoyment.

  As for your analogy about a friend selling a friend a product at a high price,
and then later selling to someone at a lower price.  Well since i wouldn't want
a stupid friend, if he didn't drop the price and get something instead of
nothing i would think he was an idiot.  I would have no ill feelings toward the
FRIEND, because when i purchased the product i must have thought it was a fair
deal.  No one made you pay what you paid, you wanted that product MORE than you
wanted 119 dollars and that's a fact.  Just because Ed lowered the price doesn't
mean that you aren't going to get 119 dollars worth of enjoyment out of it.  You
 are the selfish one, because you want to get Ed's product for as cheap as
possible, because you want money and the product both, and can't stand that
someone else had good enough fortune to get a better deal.  Sorry but that's the
way the world works.
