When companies know they are dealing with idiots.

You have to augment their brains cybernetically.

Also there are no woods in space. Where would they defecate?

I think a bigger problem is the fact that the cold and darkness of space would make the bears biological cycle go into hibernation. Perhaps we could shoot a bear into space. It would instinctively eat dirt and bark and stuff to plug up its anus while it hibernated in the cold dark void, and perhaps that is how we could tame those beasts. The astronaut could then feel free to collect soil samples on Titan or look for precious metals on asteroids while the bear slept in the shuttle. That's the only solution I have at the moment.

Different sellers.

Not necessarily. I've seen bags of 10 copper elbows at Home Depot that cost more per piece than individually. I was just at an auto parts store and bought a package of 30 M8 locknuts for $5. A package of a single nut cost $2.88. The clerk just shrugged. I think it's more numeric illiteracy than avarice.

Usually, timeshare companies go to MENSA meetings when they are looking for new buyers. So I guess timeshare is an inverse example of the OP.

But in this case, if you follow the link, the reason for the pricing is that he is linking to Amazon, and all the different options correspond to different sellers. When whoever is selling the individual units at significantly cheaper per unit price runs out, you will see the next lowest priced seller for that size, and it has nothing to do with the lowest offer on the 10-pack sellers.

Not true, supply and demand. When you have a supply the demand will also be something that is associated with it in an econ textbook. Ie: supply and demand in chapter 2. Say for instance you are selling apples. That would either be the supply, but you could demand that people buy them. That is an example of demand. If you demanded people buy your apples, then your supply would increase because apple growers would look at your ability to strongarm people on the street and they would them SUPPLY you with apples for a price. Then you would DEMAND the suppliers to stop using pesticides.

You cannot even understand the epic achievement of putting bears in space. Don't speak to me of demand.

Maybe you could lure the bears into space by smearing a can of salmon all over the interior of a Saturn V rocket, towing it into the woods, and leaving the hatch open overnight. The bears could be tricked into entering the vessel and then being launched into orbit.

Any time Brewster needs to get a nut he can pay the guy at the auto shop $2.88.
