oh sure, but price gouging is often bad business practice in the long 
term.  Humans evolved a strong sense of injustice and have a long memory 
for people and organisations whom they feel take advantage of them.

As someone else pointed out, business practices like this can work in a 
rising market, but not so well when market conditions become difficult 
and people end up in a position of being able to make a choice between 
organisations which may have treated them badly in the past and those 
which have not.
