I know it may sound illogical but in reality many many more people may shell out $5 or even $10 of real $ to get a car or get Gold but when something is so exhorbitant it will turn off people al together.

Why do you think Wal Mart is so succesful ? They rather sell 100 things for a penny profit each than 10 things with a markup of 1$. At the end of the day it's much easier to find 100 people to shell out $5 for a car then it is to find 5 people to shell out  $50 for the same thing.

I cannot agree with you more. I even remember that my math book in high school or secondary school had such dicussion about profit when I started to learn quadratic equation.
