im 19, mixed, and a proud virgin | Is it illegal, for stores, or businesses, in general, to make their prices too low? |
is there a law, that prohibits a business from making their prices too low?
why? what is wrong with making prices cheaper, i mean, no one seems to care, when prices are made too high that no one can possibly afford it with their own cash.
so how does this work? Additional Details whats a price floor?
and, the way i see it, is if things are low enough in price, an over abundance in customers would make up the difference. |

i don't know the specifics, but there is such a law.
it was created because some businesses sold items at below cost price just to kill off other businesses, who obviously couldn't compete. once the opposition died off, they upped the prices and made a killing. |

its only illegal if there is a price floor |

Businesses may charge whatever they like for their product or service. There are solid economic reasons why the cost of goods shouldn't drop too low, but no law that says they can't. |

I'm not sure. But they will need a way to pay for the expensives, like the cost of the item...Or the cost of the item material |

No, its not against the law. It's just that its a marketing strategy.. |

No, we are a capitalist country. If the business can afford to sell the products really cheap then more power to them |

Businesses have mark ups to cover all their expenses, AND make a profit, or else they wouldn't be a business.
Payroll, rent, heat, lights, insurance, inventory, supplies, etc.
No there is no law saying they have to keep their prices what they are, but it doesn't make much sense to have a business unless they are going to make money. |

The Federal Trade Commission governs pricing overall. There is the manufacturing prices, Wholesale prices and MSRP. MSRP is what consumers pay. Businesses buy products at wholesale which is quite lower than MSRP and then find a point price. The point price will be somewhere between Wholesale costs and MSRP. Too high, the FTC may get involved, too low FTC may also get involved. |

they have to buy their products they sell from someone ..
example:
farmer makes 1lb corn it cost him $1
he needs a profit so he sells it to a grocery store for $1.50
then the store needs a profit so they raise it..they can only go so low b4 they lose money |
