Unfortunately, that's not how it works.
Selling at a loss just means they get less by selling it than it cost to make it. So if it cost $300 to make, and they sell it for $250, they spent $50 to sell it. On the other hand, if it costs $300 to make, and they don't sell it, that meant it cost $300 to not sell it. Not selling it doesn't keep them from losing money, it keeps them from recouping money.
I believe in honesty, civility, generosity, practicality, and impartiality.
