I agree, Bash. I sent back a counter at 95, but to be honest, I'll pay the other volume seller full price for the additional 30 days warranty if they do not accept. I wasn't't planning on purchasing, but I know I will kick myself later if I don't... But the more I think about it, the more I feel insulted by their counter.
Re: market forces- the fact that the other seller no longer is taking best offers will likely change the market forces in play-- that volume is very likely to start to decline, and with that, prices will eventually follow-- at least if demand drops noticeably for a couple of weeks. Of course, they could get smart about it and ration the supply a bit to try and bring up price-- but not likely they'll be that patient, most of these bulk sellers need their investment back out ASAP, to fund the next deal.
