At the end of the day a trader can charge whatever price he feels the market can bear. That is free enterprise. He can only be criticised for doing so if he has a monopoly and is taking advantage of the customers inability to shop elsewhere.

In the case of the sausages, the market trader is not the only sausage seller in town, and if he puts his prices up, he only has himself to blame if he doesn't sell them. The customer has the choice to buy them or not.

And if its a quality product he is selling, then good luck to him.
