      As long as there aren't any eggs going unsold, this is irrelevant to the price of eggs. If anything, the opposite is happening: sporadically there are limits on how many eggs one customer can buy in my grocery store.

        Companies are deliberately limiting supply now as part of revenue management. Growing revenue can be simplistically thought of as maximizing a function of units sold * price per unit. You can decrease numbers sold and increase the price or the converse; 2 units * $10 or 10 units * $2. There is mounting evidence across countries and continents that this is what’s been going on. https://archive.is/1EbGX https://archive.is/1EbGX
