Sorry, gaevren, that not a valid argument.
In other circumstances, it might even be called price gouging.
Actually that's not true. Even on necessary commodities (water, food, etc) if a retailer can show that the price increase is solely due to rising costs on their end, it's not price gouging even if the price has spiked.
