Wouldn't you start by charging $99? (And then start a bidding war, and then...) I don't think it was nkoren's intention to provide a complete model of the economy, but simply to illustrate how markets can underserve segments of the population. Examples like this can often be "disproved", sometimes with ease, but that rather misses their purpose. A similar point was the topic of a recent xkcd: http://xkcd.com/1318 http://xkcd.com/1318
