Industry Standards
Isn't it odd that depending on what you are selling, the rules are totally different. On one hand, if you go to the store to buy lumber, the price is fixed and you either buy it or don't. Then you have cars and houses that are totally negotiable. You even have companies that offer free insurance quotes, so that you can compare and contrast.It seems odd to me that these types of business have evolved in such different ways. Why can't I negotiate lumber costs? Why can't I haggle about my groceries? Why do I sometimes get a a quote and sometimes get a price? These are such common things that we rarely think about but when you do stop and think, it seems rather odd indeed.
