If they want to lower the price, then they should lower the price they sell to Amazon at.

Exactly.

They want Amazon to accept the same low margins they accept on high-volume sellers (where they, ahem, make it up in volume) as they do on slow movers that are barely selling.

They really need to take a remedial course in modern retailer economics.
