HAGGLING
A persons time becomes more valuable due to the higher income earned, in this there is less haggling over prices to a certain extent. Irrespective of the increase of income, this characteristic depends on individual and their behaviour. certain parameters like willingness to pay,relative bargaining power, bargaining cost, real price of the commodity, at times even the subtituion cost all affect the haggling.it is well known that bargainer always reject low offers, once the inconme rises they are more rational in their opporach. they have a tendency to offer more ans ask for significantly more.?their demand increases iwth age and experience.also they care less about the monetary gains and more about the potential harm to their reputation
