I can do that: create a new market. In a capitalist society, people will
pay more in the expectation that they're getting more. The seller, simply
by charging more for goods or a service cab create a market for those who
think the more they paid for something, the better it is. Look at Rodeo
Drive for an example.

If that's the case, then it's not more than the market will bear, is
it?

You have an odd understanding of the meaning of "monopoly".

Precisely. If it's too high for the regular market, create a new market.
Identify those customers who believe that higher prices automatically means
higher service and quality, then grab a rake to rake in the cash.
