Would you apply the same logic to cars? If you happen to own a car that suddenly became desirable, should the gov't step in and prevent you from getting the best price for it?
How about if you own a start-up? Was Instagram guilty of "predator" pricing when Facebook bought them?
What people don't seem to understand is that in a free-market system, there is no free lunch. Look at the rental market in SF. People pay "key money" to secure a place. Or the landlord rents to their friend, not the best tenant because if he can't get fair market value in terms of a rental rate, he'll get it someway else (and buyers will pay, because they value it the same way).
