Yes the “S” in MSRP is for Suggested. The manufacturer, Honda, cannot dictate the price dealers ask for the cars they wish to sell.

This is not unique. Visit grocery stores, gas stations, even restaurants and other businesses - supply and demand determine prices. Even consumers participate.

Disney has a lot of special products being offered now, commemorating it’s 50th anniversary. Some people visiting the parks are buying some of the rarer items, and then reselling on ebay and other selling sites.

The buyer is in the drivers seat. And yes, it is distressing when normal pricing skyrockets. Price fixing will simply dry up supply when there is high demand and limited supply.
