Does this seem right to you?

The customer (any customer at any shop) has the choice to buy or not buy at any price.

And the "D1ck" move is exactly what?

The d1ck move I was referring to was shop #2 raising the price higher than shop #1.

You explained it all in your above message, and you are right shop #2 has a right to do that and we as consumers have the right not to shop there.
