I've recently put some used books on Amazon to sell. They charge me, on average, $3 per book if it sells. That means I have to charge $4 to make a buck. (Unless you pay their monthly fee, then I think it waives the fee-per-sale.) So by buying the "cheapest used" you really aren't teaching them a lesson. They still made money on you--probably as much as the markup for an e-book.
