Grey vendor bought up competitors references

So I keep a list of watched references on C24 and keep track of the prices and availability.

I noticed the OP41 silver went from around 25 examples down to 20 within a day with all the lower priced examples disappearing. At the same time I saw 1 grey vendor now listing 7 of the same reference for a higher price. Went from $9,000 to $10,500 overnight with many fewer examples and fewer vendors.

I just thought it was interesting. An example of fairly clear cut market manipulation by the Greys.

100% fine and not illegal. Just interesting.

I wonder if they had any insight into why this reference. Maybe they just figured it was undervalued and decided to corner the market because it was a small risk/reward scenario.

Not an investment thread or anything like that.
