What tends to happen to the price of a product when it is scarce and in high demand?

When a product is scarce and in high demand, the price of the product tends to increase. This is because the limited supply cannot meet the high level of demand, leading to competition among consumers and potential price gouging by sellers. As a result, the price of the product is driven up as consumers are willing to pay more to secure the limited available units. This phenomenon is known as supply and demand economics, where scarcity drives up prices.
