In real life, you can find the $30 bottle available for $4.29. I don't know if that's exactly the cost of production, but it's low enough that we can stop talking about how this is a market failure because the product can only be sold at high prices.
Where?
I posted the link on this page already. Unless you're trying to insinuate that because the link doesn't work, the product was discontinued.
If so, you should have done a search, which would have found that the product was not discontinued and they just reorganized their site so that URLs now include the directory /products/: http://www.planetrx.com/products/sunmark-sugar-free-extra-strength-calcium-antacid-orange-creme-80-chewable-tablets
They are also available at Wal-Mart for $5.65. Here is a different brand for $3.49, and a different brand, different flavor for $6.40 for 100 tablets.
