The game does reward you for being kind to your customers, though: selling things at about 105% of the base price and buying (from customers) at about 70% of the base price will give you merchant experience bonuses, which unlocks things, such as shop expansions, more ways of selling, shop customization, etc.

You can buy things as low as 20% of the base price.

Of course, you can do this both ways when people start selling stuff back to you.

More so if people trust you and/or you run a more high-end expensive shop. You can charge upwards of 300% on something that has had a price increase and get away with it. 'Gouging' is the light term once you start seeing increases or decreases in prices.
