Don, for what it's worth, all your arguments have made perfect sense to me. Your description of the free market and one seller & one buyer sound like auctions I've seen at eBay -- there's always the chance somebody else will auction off the same item, and always the chance more than one person will bid. I also agree that being informed has nothing to do with it -- I can study Consumer Reports for weeks, hunt through the newspaper circulars for days and finally go to what I perceive as the place with the best price, only to find some other guy there buying the same thing completely on impulse and with none of the knowledge that I have, except he thinks it looks 'neat.'
