      What’s funny is you just discovered how supply/demand works. It applies to literally everything you can buy.

        Kind of a smarty pants reply considering i know elastic vs. Inelastic demand is an exception to this rule.

        Not really, no.

        Because the things I buy have use.

        For example, a gun.

      No, it won’t even go up if nobody buys it. It will instead stay the same value it currently sits at

      It will crash if everyone who still has some tries to sell it.

        If nobody buys it for long periods of time people will see the hump and freakout and this will trigger the firesale. I am sure this happens for at least SOME products.
