Basic economics is about supply and demand. If five people in need of milk went to a grocery store and there was only ONE carton of milk for sale for $4.00, I bet one or more of those people would pay MORE than $4.00 for the milk just to get it.
This is true, but that doesn't mean any of those people should or would pay $10 to get it, if the most anyone else was willing to pay was $5. Supply and demand requires you pay more than the next highest bidder - not the maximum amount the product is worth to you, as the PP I was quoting suggested.
