Higher price...higher commissions for the seller ! ! ! It's all business. Unfortunately, now days, you have to haggle over, almost, everything you buy. It's all so sad that, we, as consumers, can't get a fair deal. I like going from state to state, same grocery stores, have different sale prices in their weekly circulars. My sister lives in a different state than I do, I take my weekly circular with me when I go just to prove to people that they are getting 'taken' for a ride...It happens everywhere, all the time......So sad and unfair.
