an excerpt from oots #135, potionomics, with the sleepy bois
Wilbur: 20 gp for drugs of Mage Armor? That is by far the lowest price I have ever encountered.
Tubbo: All drugs in the store are 20 gp, every day, here at Tubbo and Tommy's Drug Store.
Wilbur: But...drugs of Mage Armor costs 25 gp to make.
Tubbo: True. And no one in the land prices them as low as we do!
Wilbur: Wait- You sell drugs for less than it costs to produce them?
Tubbo: Yep!
Wilbur: How do you possibly stay in business?
Tommy: One word, my friend: Volume.
Tubbo: We sell drugs at such a low price, we make up the difference in volume.
Wilbur: No you don't. You just lose more money with each sale.
Tommy: Our low prices increase traffic to the store, though.
Wilbur, fed up: You'll just go broke faster!
Tommy: But we're so successful! We've sold hundreds of drugs this month alone!
Wilbur: AT A LOSS!
Tubbo: Good news, Tommy! Someone just bought out our entire supply of healing drugs!
Tommy: Great!
Wilbur: No! Not great!
Wilbur: I'm trying to keep you in business! You just gave away potent drug assets for a fraction of their value!
Tubbo: Hmm. Y'know, Wilbur might have a point.
Tommy: Perhaps. But I know just the thing to turn business around.
Tommy: A SALE!
Tubbo: Yes! We'll slash prices across the board!
Wilbur: My conscience is now appeased. 27 Heroism drugs, please.
