Imagine you're selling lemonade. One day, a lot of kids come to your stand, you can't keep up and start charging more for each glass. But then the next day, fewer kids show up. You have extra cups lying around, so you lower the price just to get some money in. That's like how prices go up and down in real life.
Examples
- A toy becomes expensive during the holiday season because everyone wants it
- When a new phone comes out, its price drops after a few months as more people start selling their old models
