Can we talk about the pricing of new UV code in the trade forum?

I can't be the only one who's frustrated by the ridiculous price gouging going on over there, can I? I mean , I'm seeing $6, $7 for a new movie, UV only in some cases. One dude is even asking $8 for a walmart vudu code that contains 6 flicks--and the blu itself only costs $7.88. I understand it's a free market. I understand supply and demand. And I know--I know the high prices will go down eventually...but this is getting ridiculous. Especially when so many sellers are splitting the code up for UV and iTunes.

Used to be you'd get both codes for max of $4, and you could sell the one you didn't want. Shouldn't they be selling the one code, say the UV, for half of what they would get for a code normally, say $4-$5 tops? I mean, let's face it, we're not buying anything but the movie. Not features, not case, not discs , not artwork...and it's like a field day out there with the pricing.

Short of not buying from these price gougers, is there anything the mods can do?

anyway. Mostly a rant, but I was to see what others thought too.
