yes. this is capitalism at it's finest. the market decides what to pay for an item. if you decide to pay more than the person before you, that's your decision, and that's capitalism.
also: Part of being American(ized) is paying more for things that are easier /more convenient. I could buy fake oakleys for cheaper than I just bought them from this guy, but even though Jose down the street has them for cheaper I'm to lazy to fight with this guy about a $.50 difference or walk down the street to comparison shop. If i payed less than i expected then it was a good deal.
