Prices go down so that people can come into a shop and say "hey that is cheap so I can afford it". If the prices were too high people wouldnt be able to afford things.

One reason electronics prices decrease is that they are mass produced and the costs continue to decrease. Another is that they start with a high markup when the product is the newest top item and as newer better models come out the prices must decrease on the older models. Another is that the item becomes dated. Who would pay full price for last year's new automobile, motorcycle or similar products.

Competition also cause products to decrease in price and it is strongest during highest season's volume of customers to purchase an item. Like swimming suits in the spring. Another reduction comes when retail stores and manufactures want to reduce the inventory of the leftover seasonal merchandise
