If you paid the higher value with tariffs you would pay it any way. And if everyone was willing to pay the higher price then it would already have been higher. That's how capitalism works. No CEO will charge less unless they think it will increase profit through volume.

Companies that increased prices because of tariffs probably lost customers in the process.
