This is captialism. It's free market economics. What exactly are you saying they did wrong?

Did you ever comparison shop for prices on a car, or a TV? Aren't you doing the same thing by playing two retailers against each other? You might wait until a sale to buy a large gift this Christmas -- are you guilty of "extracting" those savings from the manufacturer and retailer -- forcing them to off-shore their operations to China to meet your insatiable need for even cheaper LCD televisions?
