            Hey,  I am not a  professional/specialist  in  finance/economics/production,

            but regarding this problem, I can not keep myself from asking a question.


So, at the price of £10, people are ready to buy 3800 items.


If the price is slightly higher at £15, people are ready to buy only 1000 items, which is less and logical.


But when the price grows to £30, people want to buy MORE ?



Is it logical ?     Or, in opposite, ILLOGICAL ?
