I don't think there is a downside for them, actually. If there were enough "
waiting for the price to drop" public to affect their bottom line, the prices would drop sooner. They simply ignore the bargain hunters, because they can. In the grand picture, there's just not that many I'm-looking-for-this-book-at-this-price buyers out there. The majority pays (whatever the price is when they're looking to buy) or borrows.
