Most people don't like the fact that they have to pay anything extra for something they COULD have gotten cheaper. We all like to go to the discount store because we don't like that we have to pay higher prices for a shirt with a little label on it when it's "just the same" as the other shirt without the label. What about the land someone buys to build their home on ? Do they cry over the fact that the person who bought it before paid next to nothing or that the realtor takes a % of the transaction and pockets it. We all live with markups, broker fees and the reality of economics. If you don't like paying premium for a Polo shirt go to walmart. If you don't want to pay premium for a nice property, go buy a card board box.
