As a consumer, why is it good for us when a store has a surplus of an item we want?

Answer:

A lower consumer surplus leads to higher producer surplus and greater inequality. Consumer surplus enables consumers to purchase a wider choice of goods.

Answer:

Usually prices are lower when you have a surplus amount of an item. However, if there was a low amount of one item the price would be extremely high and competitive. Hope that helps!!!
