They would still complain if the prices were the opposite.

I’m not sure why this isn’t a good thing - they have obviously placed a higher value on Black skinned Barbies - isn’t that what has been called for?

They have to price the Black Barbies to reflect the loss the store takes on due to theft.

I honestly thought the pricing would be reversed. I would expect the demand for “black barbies” to be pretty low and thus the laws of supply and demand would dictate a higher price on the more desired barbie.

But the "black barbies" are rarer, produced in smaller quantities given the lower demand, and you don't get as much economy of scale.
