Exactly my thought. Thank you for pointing that out.
Comment on Would "suggest price" be a positive option for steam?

They could add a bid price, so that you automatically buy at a certain price level. Sure, you could bid 0.10, but they’d probably never actually take it. And that way, they could know how much money is laying on the table. If there’s a thousand bids for $50, that gives them a pricing signal.

This sounds like it would just end up speedrunning Steam’s refund system. Plus, I don’t think it’s desirable for the seller. If they feel their game is worth some price, but a bunch of people know they can bully other developers into a race to the bottom, that could easily be a negative feedback loop.
