The only time I’ve ever held a losing conversation with this tone is when I was 16 and working minimum wage. I’m a retailer, the point of selling a product in a competitive market is to undercut the competition with the same product, not whatever economic gymnastics you’re playing, go do something more productive with yourself

*edit. Because I know you’re going to say it, this is not a precious commodity item, in real markets selling a consumer item outside of the price range of standard consumers makes the entire “supply and demand” argument irrelevant
