If you haven't guessed already, Amazon and Bezos are capitalists.

But why lie and say people are willing to pay more? They may pay because it's the only way to get what they want, but are they willing to pay more? No way.

What I find a rip-off is then something is priced say $100 in the US and £100 in the UK. That means that UK buyers are paying more.
