They hold the plans to the next "hot" technology gizmo that everyone will want to buy. In pricing the item, they made some assumptions: 1) For small quantities purchased, set the price low to invite people to get familiar with the product. 2) For large quantities purchased, set the price low as preferential treatment for your best customers. 3) Limit the number that can be purchased to a maximum of 1000 units. 4) An analyst recommends that the selling price for 500 units be $2500, or you will price yourself out of the market.
