Typically, when one discusses the laws of supply and demand (in theory), there is an assumption of a level playing field, which is not the case here.

There is no level playing field, doncha think? The sellers can fix these problems, if they want to. Just a thought.

See post #70. They are starting to fix the problem since it has gotten so out of hand.

I guess that’s my point, why discuss the theory of supply and demand at all if we’re gonna let cheats rule the day. Make no mistake about it, that’s what the broker software does. And the court case in question is addressing exactly that, how to fix the problem (which is an obvious recognition that normal market forces are not at play).

And if normal market forces are not at play, then discussions about supply and demand are pretty unenlightening.
