I suppose that might be one theory. But whether it stands up - rationally - to real economics I don't know.
In supply/demand - supply depression, vs total revenue, has anyone evaluated whether depressing this mkt so much (as alleged) really increases their revenue? If supply is restricted artificially low so that, even if prices went up, the total revenue is less than a larger supply... well the bean counters would have the say over the "revengers" of any bidding war.
By cutting out a large portion of the buying, ie the selling of their product, that lost revenue I would think (emphasis on "think" as not analyzed yet) outweighs the increased $$/primer they would be getting. IMO lots of people are not buying the $$100s of $$ per kilo primer, as even at those prices I don't see lots of inventory coming to the shelves. True it's disappearing when it shows up, but that would be the case if only 10-15 cases show up... vs hundreds of cases being there and going for a more normal price.
So I think the jury is still out on this theory.
