I know Pokemon Go did something like this as market research. They wanted to see what price would people buy at (in the coins you can earn without money, or buy with money).

Still yucky, so yucky. I would contact them with the screenshot and tell them you will buy it for the lower price on your account.

I would say that I won’t buy it because of this. Let them know they lost a sale.

If you give them money they’ll just keep doing it in the background.
