Cheap

You can check your answer here.

The saying and the explanation as written here makes no sense to me.
The saying that I know is 'It would be cheap at twice the price.', meaning that it is so cheap you could double the price and it still would be cheap.

'Cheap at half the price' or 'cheap at twice the price' - Lonely Planet travel forum

:roll:

I completely agree! Cheap at half the price doesn't mean anything. I can understand people getting it muddled but the idiom dictionary says half the price as well....how ridiculous.

That would be logical, but idiomatic expressions don't always follow logic.

I have to agree with the non sense remark.'It would be cheap at half the price' is saying that the item is therefore expensive.
This would mean that saying 'It would be cheap at twice the price' means that an item is already cheap and even if you doubled the price it would still be cheap.
