Not buy, more like wants, If no one wants it then it is effectively worthless. Buying is just a means to satisfy a want.

I think there's something wrong with the logic if the opposite is false.

If you have a product people want, but no one is willing to pay for it. I can't call that a business.

No one wants it at that price. You can always sell for a loss.
