Why is that not the case? If one person drops their price on a whole bunch of snakes, then that might be the case....but to drop price on one? That just means one person gets a lucky deal. The rest of the crowd that wants (and has the money to spend on) a banana this year still have to pay whatever the sellers are asking. If there are no other "$30k" bananas on the market, then they'll pay the $50k because that's what they would have paid anyhow, no matter how much the first guy charged for his.

If all the rest of the sellers follow suit based on ONE guy selling ONE snake....then that's their own foolishness and not his fault that they didn't think it through.
