Surely the business model where every customer has individually-negotiated pricing model costs a whole lot to implement, further, it gives each customer plenty of incentive to attempt to learn what other customers are paying for the same products. Given the tiny costs of fighting bots, in comparison, your complaints in these threads here seem pretty ridiculous.
