As I said in the other thread, vendors have been reaping the rewards of the BTC increase for 2 months. Most buyers will get bitcoins and spend them the same day, but vendors often hold onto their coins for a week or two before cashing out, giving them time to appreciate in value. Many vendors were surely cashing out their coins at 2-3 times the value at the time of the purchase. They should all be way ahead in profits, even with the BTC crash, so sticking it to the buyers was a shitty thing to do.
