Possible, but not probable.
I am a firm believer that profit is in the volume, not the margin.
I have had many discussions/arguments with other sellers about this. A sellers' instinct is to try to get as much as one can for any given item. Consequently, they will put the highest price on an item.
It is counter-intuitive to mark an item at the lowest price, but it works. My mark-up and margins are lower than others. But at the end of the year, because of the volume, I have more money in the bank.
Because I follow this strategy, I spend more time than most sellers pricing product as I am doing research constantly, even on product that has been listed. Thus, my frustration when a potential buyer askes for a discount for no other reason than they can.
It is not the singular isolated case, but rather the volume of these requests that is beginning to annoy me.
