If others sell plain bottled water for Two Yuan and I sell it for Three Yuan, customers will instinctively believe the Three-Yuan water is of better quality.
"Furthermore, everyone has a bit of vanity. Drinking Three-Yuan water seems to confer more status than drinking Two-Yuan water, and most people won't mind spending the extra Yuan.
