When price is above the equilibrium, there will be more sellers than buyers and the surplus goods will start to pile up. The only way for sellers to get rid of their excess goods is to raise prices. When price is above the equilibrium, there will be more sellers than buyers and the surplus goods will start to pile up. The only way for sellers to get rid of their excess goods is to lower prices.
