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.
