    Yeah but it was never that. Only the original price was changed with a sticker. The 2x and 3x were always as they were.

        Does it though? The moment 2x is £16 , the cost of 1 shirt is £8. Therefore there’s no scaling at 3x. It doesn’t matter how much the starting price was or how much the later prices were, if the 2x price is £16 and the 3x price is £24. The cost of 1 shirt is only ever £8 if you buy more than one, meaning that any pricing variant over 2x is pointless.

            Exactly. In which case the 3x price is redundant.

            There is no curve.

                I’m not sure what you’re suggesting was solved. You’re positing scenarios whereas I’m presenting facts - the photo. Which, for the consumer, is mildly infuriating.

                    Yes - we don’t know what the original price was for 1x. You’re assuming it was more than £8. It could have been £5 - we’ll never know.

                    Either way, it doesn’t change the current value proposition for the customer, which is that a bulk purchase is meaningless.
