But the point is, there's
no reason you have to have their product. It's not food or shelter. If it's not to your liking, for whatever reason, you can walk away. There's no justifiable reason to steal it... and "just to spite them" is a petty reasoning.
Every seller charges what they believe the market will bear... that's their prerogative. It's your prerogative, as a member of the market, to vote with your wallet, or vote with your feet. You don't have the prerogative to vote with your sticky fingers.
(Remember, you also have the prerogative to tell the seller why you think their product is overpriced, and give them the chance to consider revising their prices to reflect market attitudes.)
