When the vendor willingly reduces prices significantly while obviously maintaining an adequate profit level, it shows that the higher prices they have stepped back from were excessive,and thus were profiteering.

Otherwise, these philanthropists have taken a loss just for the benefit of their customers.

Oldfart,

Keep up the good work sir! You never know, perhaps some day someone might provide some data to substantiate the claims!

Apocryphal, but compelling, jseal.
