3/ So I could then exploit that and create a POSITIVE SUM deal. Talk to a dealer. "Can you match
$X?" "Yes, but not a dollar further." Zero sum, right? "Tell you what - what if I take one of those silver ones off you hands?" him, brightening: "I'll knock Y off!"2 replies 0 retweets 15 likesShow this thread -

6/ zero-sum negotiation: I have an apple that I value at $1 and you value at $2. You have $2. We will trade, and $1 of utility will be created by that trade. ...but who captures it? If I sell for $2, I do. If I sell for $1, you do. At $1.50 we split it.

8/ tangential: a problem I had with one farm hand is that he'd always try to grab 99 cents - if not $1.00 or $1.01 - out of that fixed pie. When game is iterated, Schelling point is 50/50. It builds trust which reduces transaction / negotiating costs WHICH CREATES MORE VALUE !
