Dien,

Thanks for your additional comments.

It's not the same as Deal, inasmuch as something lost - though the people don't walk with Nothing, their Kitty gets reduced. But it IS the same inasmuch as their being No Sense Of Value attached to the money because they did not Earn it themselves. As such, they are More Willing to pay a higher price, regardless of the other factors.

Re Supply and Demand: If there is One buyer and One seller, there is Supply and Demand. Even if the seller only has one left. The Demand is based on How Much the buyer wants it - a lot, burning hot want, so-so take it or leave it want. Supply and demand is Not just about How Many sellers there are and How Many buyers there are.
