Literally in page one of econ textbooks they will say “a common exception to the rational actor theory is like when people need emergency medical services.” AND THEN they just ignore that GLARING caveat for the rest lf the book. Snake oil.
Another exception is how sometimes increasing prices will increase sales rather than the other way around.
Also a lot of the time, a discount will get more attention than the price itself. Like $1000 with a 60% markdown ($400 final) might sell more than the same thing at $350 with 0% markdown.
