Well the trick to this is a realistic economy. If you manufacture 1
billion long swords, then suddenly everyone has or can get one, so the
demand plummets and you have lots of worthless swords, that you spent
materials trying to make. Of course the supply of the material as you
make the swords becomes more scarce, causing the price of it to go up.
As you can see the curves both shift unfavorably to the would be bot.
