Amazon sellers marking products as collectible to get around price gouging rules
I still don'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.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.
