To reiterate:
1. Because if no one paid the $5, or folks did but not enough of them wanted resell their copies to meet the demand, there would be no copies available at $4.99.
2. Because someone prefers the services offered by the $5 seller over the those offered by the $4.99 seller.
3. Because someone trusts/likes the $5 seller more than the $4.99 seller.
Again, many of the same reasons that keep multiple retailers in business today even though prices on the same goods can vary.
Sometimes by even more than a penny.
