moving up5 and the
other moving down, they6 work
towards a price which is acceptable to both7. In other

or
even a fight, the seller’s reaction to too low a price
being to call the buyer all sorts of names, such as ‘Scoundrel!’ ‘Rogue!’
‘Daytime robber!’ In such 9 areas, the
acceptable method is for the buyer to offer10
the
seller a slightly lower price than the one11
asked;
the seller agrees to this, then another offer12, still
lower, is made and agreed to, and this goes on until at last a price is reached
which is the least to which the seller will agree. If this suits the buyer, the
sale is made. If13 not, after
a final unsuccessful attempt to beat down the price, he may14 go away to another seller, hoping that one will agree
to a15 more reasonable16 price. (8 marks)
