Megapro may have larger economies of scale and therefore lower costs, or Megapro may have already paid off / amortized the cost of development and so felt its margins were already without having that included in the price anymore.

That’s not how a business sets prices. It charges as much as consumers are willing to pay.
If more people are willing to buy the product for a lower price and due to better economies of scale / amortized cost of development the margins also improve then of course they may lower the price.
Tell that to Arizona Iced Tea. Not all companies are garbage.

Friendly reminder that LTT sells *all* of its desk pads and water bottles for the same price, no matter the size.

A company using basic ecomomic principles is garbage?

So LTT overcharging for it's smaller water bottles vs big is good? But if a company were to discount small water bottles, and raise the price of bigger, they are garbage?

wow.
