Somebody's having a laugh.

I'm quite sure somebody out there is happy to pay the premium without haggling, but others probably tried negotiating.

With such short supply and with so much demand, why would a seller accept less than the asking price?

I don't know how they can justify keeping their management team. This is a shambles. NO powder being produced here at all.
I can understand supply chain issues, but to have NO powder being produced at all, and no back up plan by them defies logic.
Just me ranting.

Conscience perhaps.
As No1Mk3 said, the ad requires a price and you don't know what the market will accept so just toss a number on it.
But if you're going to sell like that then you're going to have to wear it yourself when you find yourself stuck chasing a spark plug and the only guy that has one asks $1000 for it because he knows how badly you need it. It's short term greed that benefits nobody and hurts everybody.

Would it be still safe to use?
