How could a monopoly directly affect the amount of goods and services that you purchase?

a monopoly directly affect the amount of goods and services that you purchase non-price competition  A monopoly's potential to raise prices indefinitely is its most critical detriment to consumers. Because it has no industry competition, a monopoly's price is the market price and demand is market demand. Even at high prices, customers will not be able to substitute the good or service with a more affordable alternative.        Hope this helps ^-^
