Great business plan!
You're thinking very narrowly about this. Your imagination for what people do to each other in order to turn a buck is quaint.
You only need to corner the supply locally in order to profit from such cornering. In a lawless society, there is no barrier to making physical threats against rivals in order to reduce supply in the market.

Lol.
First off, nice job completely snipping where I totally debunked your argument!
It never ceases to amaze me how you statists constantly continue to reveal exactly how little you understand that which you rail against.
Hint: Stateless != lawless.

And it doesn't help to drop prices if thieves of your goods can sell them well below your cost. A thief breaks into your room at a hotel while you're out and steals a necklace. How much does he have to sell that necklace for to turn a profit?

You slay me dude. You really do. So your business plan is that you are going to "corner the market" by stealing all my inventory (which I of course will not invest in protection for at all, I'm sure), then sell it below my cost of production, so that you can drive me out of business, so that you can . . . what? Go out of business? You're not producing anything. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
This is hilarious. It constantly amazes how statists can convince themselves to believe this [censored]. If it weren't for the state magically protecting us from ourselves, people would all be robbing each other blind, slitting each other's throats, and buggering each other's grandmothers every chance we got. Meanwhile, if this were true, WTF do you think the people controlling the apparatus of the state are doing?
Search for my posts in Riddick's thread "For the ardent ACers" or something like that. I debunk this ridiculous idea that the state provide social order there. It doesn't, and it never did. It acts to destroy order and civilization and sow chaos and destruction.
