| Aug 24, 2014 at 20:02 | comment | added | rmp251 | I see. I guess there are two types of situations to consider. One is a public auction, where other bidders are present, in which case lowballing and highballing are strategies for a potential buyer, and gouging isn't applicable. The other is when dealing with one-on-one negotiations, like bargaining. In that case, lowballing is a buyer strategy, and gouging is a seller strategy, and highballing doesn't really apply. | |
