Amazon sellers marking products as collectible to get around price gouging rules
I still don&#x27;t understand why price gouging is not accepted. Only high prices are an incentive for new producers to enter a market. Or rather: high prices promise huge return on investments so that investors allocate money for producers to open new production facilities.<p>With fixed prices, there is not enough profit in opening new production lines to balance the risk of entering a new market or spending more money on fast transportation methods. It makes the situation even worse because those with free distribution channels will buy all price-fixed products and leave nothing for Amazon customers.
