So how can you justify charging the high >prices on the SIMMS left over from last week's bonanza? I just have a very simple question for you. When prices dropped did you offer to pay someone more than the then current, lower price based on the fact that they had purchased their stock at old, higher prices? Of course not. What anyone pays for something is not at all relevant. You base what you will pay for something on what it is worth to you. Not what the seller paid for it.
