Seems more like retailers trying to cash in on the franchise, but if you don't know if people are buying them at the higher prices, its pure speculation to say that the consumer wants them more and is willing to pay more for them. (With the exception of Ebay, where the price is determined through a negotiated process.) All it indicates is that retailers *hope* that consumers will buy at a higher price during a related release.<BR/><BR/>Assuming that price is automatically determined by supply and demand is only OK in high-school economics. You even go so far as to call higher prices "increased buying." Maybe I'm missing something somewhere, but this seems like pretty fast and loose reasoning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
