In extreme cases, this does not work.

Eg. in a desert with a supply of 9 water bottles and 10 potential buyers. All buyers have the same need (buy a bottle of water or die of thirst). In an efficient market, the price of a water bottle would go to the amount of savings of the poorest person + 1 cent. The poorest person will die of thirst.
