The reasoning being that at that price you make your profits on volume. Not a lot of people are going to buy an article unless the price is pretty much throwaway.
- carlosjobim 1y agoCan you give some examples of purchases for 5 cents that you have made?
- dyauspitr 1y agoA physical copy of the daily newspaper is $2. There’s no way I’m paying $0.50 for one article in the entire newspaper. It should probably be less than $0.05 an article.
- carlosjobim 1y agoBut you can't pay 5c to read just an article in the physical newspaper either. You'd pay $2 for the entire newspaper if there's an article there that you really want to read. Likewise you don't get a 5c discount in McDonalds for removing the pickle.
