Default Re: Dumping.

[ QUOTE ]
Why are some people against dumping? How is it unfair competiiton?
If person B sells ham at 10 dollars, and I sell my ham at 5 dollars , make the other guy go broke then sell my ham at 15 dollars I will atract competition. I dont see how the price of my ham will stay at 15 dollars on the long run, am I overlooking something obvious?

The threat of dumping creates a barrier to entry. The $15 "should" attract competition, but competitors will be reluctant to enter when they know you will match or beat any price they offer.
