Certain items—those with that hard-to-define quality called exclusivity—have the odd property, when they become available for sale, of selling rapidly even though they are extremely expensive. In fact, trying to sell such an item fast by asking too low a price is a serious error, since it calls into question the very thing—exclusivity—that is supposed to be the item’s chief appeal. Therefore, given that a price that will prove to be right is virtually impossible for the seller to gauge in advance, the seller should make sure that any error in the initial asking price is in the direction of setting the price too high.
The argument recommends a certain pricing strategy on the grounds that
(A) this strategy lacks a counterproductive feature of the rejected alternative
(B) this strategy has all of advantages of the rejected alternative, but fewer of its disadvantages
(C) experience has proven this strategy to be superior, even though the reasons for this superiority elude analysis
(D) this strategy does not rely on prospective buyers estimates of value
(E) the error associated with this strategy, unlike the error associated with the
rejected alternative, is likely to go unnoticed。

答案是A。
我对题干的理解是大意是某些东东很特别，你得要巨高价。因为你价要低了，顾客反而怀疑这东东不特别了。那么在题干最后一句话，下划线那部分说，如果某样东东很难让顾客判断他的价位，卖家就必须确认“任何开初价的错误是要价太高”？不是说尽量开高价的吗？不能理解。
请指教！

原文说的是
我对题干的理解是大意是某些东东很特别，你得要巨高价。因为你价要低了，顾客反而怀疑这东东不特别了
结论是如果定价有错误的话就一定是定的太高了

实际上这个结论是没有任何道理的，因为这个错误的价格也可能是定的太低了啊，所以这就正是a中所说的lacks a counterproductive feature of the rejected alternative

要价低就卖不动。要价太高（即使是错误的）也没问题。所以就是A的答案呀。

呵呵，我跟番茄的看法好像有点分歧嘛。

呵呵，我想通了
还应该是bronoy说的对吧，文中在推荐订高价这个strategy的时候呢光是说了价钱定低了不好，殊不知如果定个天价也是没有人来买的，这也同样会影响销售的啊
a说的应该就是这个
