Welcome to FlyerTalk, I think.
Considering how easy it is to not get gouged I'm not sure that it really matters that CO takes advantage of the pricing when they can. Maybe I should feel badly that others are getting screwed. Then again, that's their problem when it is so easy to find out that they're being taken advantage of. Anyone who doesn't comparison shop deserves to pay whatever the asking price is from the vendor they deal with. Maybe that's bad karma or something from me, but we can't go around babysitting everyone all the time.
