There is at least a third possibility: Simply that vendors feel profits are 
better at higher price points. As long as the market allows selling one item 
for $1000, there's good reason to think you'll make more profit than if you 
sold 1000 of them at $1. Only when the market refuses to pay the $1000, is it 
worth it to the seller to lower the price.

That is, just because it isn't done isn't sufficient to rule it impossible.
