If I want the handle fizz I’ll pay about $10 if someone wants to pay more then they want it more than me.

No, if someone is willing to pay more than you they may want it less but also value their money less because they have a lot of it, or they may think they can use it to make more money than you are willing to pay for it. capital=power, not desire

In my opinion that still results in the handle going to someone who wants it more.

how??? How does someone wanting it less but having more money to throw around that you mean they want it more?

Poor people don't really want things - you need a certain level of cash flow to qualify as a proper person with dreams and feelings, haven't you heard?

Poor people should try wanting things more

It's so rare to find a situation where someone's declared opinion is actually wrong on merit.
