How does the quantity supplied of a good with a large elasticity of supply react to a price change?

Isn't it amazing on the Walmart Shelf (things advertised on TV) are so cheap?

Err, I still don't understand?

What I am saying, if it is easy to make (say a plastic wonder kitchen tool) that is made in great quantity, once demand drops, the price drops dramatically. The items are virtually worthless. Walmart sells them.

So the quantity supplied moves down the supply curve?
bobpursley
yes.
