Selling at a loss is selling at a loss so selling one item at a loss is far better in this scenario. Volume sales at a loss exponentially increases the loss times the number of items sold.

This is different than volume sales with a smaller profit margin per item versus trying to make a large profit on smaller total sales numbers.

Then again I'm not a business guy...

There are what’s called “loss leaders”. A high volume product sold at breakeven or a small loss to draw in consumers to purchase other high profit impulse items. A strategy used by supermarkets for years.
