What does “as low as” mean in reference to pricing?

The “as low as” price is the lowest possible price for a product. To purchase an item for the “as low as” price, customers must pay with one of the discounted payment methods. Also, because quantity discounts apply to most products, the “as low as” price usually pertains to bulk purchases. For example, unless the American Silver Eagle Coin is on sale, customers have to order at least 500 of them AND pay with paper check or bank wire to get the “as low as” price.
