I answered other, because it's ethical if he's a Ute.

If you were willing to sell your house for $200K, is it unethical to accept a $220K offer?

At first I answered unethical, but then changed my vote. Companies offer products all the time at various prices

Maybe it's a bad example of up-selling, but I couldn't think of a better word

Correct. If that's the definition of upselling, that's ethical

Basically you’re asking if it’s unethical to charge different amounts to

I feel like discounting isn't. But charging more because you know they can pay?

Is it ethical to give them a superior product for $3,000 less than they are paying now?

Is it ethical to give you back your wallet with half the money in it?

That might be a little too dramatic

I don't thinks it's unethical, but it's a bad idea to not maintain consistent

For the specific situation, I would say unethical. Charging a specific customer

They don't know any better is another way of saying that you charge more for

I think taking advantage of ignorance is unethical though.

People dont' know about deals all the time. I think it is bad business in

I don't know if that's the same as treating 2 customers differently

How is he taking advantage of them? Can they not ask around or get quotes or
Baron

Are you offering the same deal to every customer?

Well depending on who you are negoitiaging with you may always start with a

The way the question is written, I agree with you. Unethical.

Wouldn't do it because often people in the same industry talk, and if one finds

Your asking the wrong question - Is it in your best interest to charge the extra

If someone will pay for something that means they value it at more than the cost

Yep. It's like people are anxious to leave money on the table.

I'm really intrigued by this. I didn't expect this to be split so evenly
Dissenter

Me either. Just makes me not want to do business with 50% of the board.

50% of them are in MLM's.

Also, if people are answering your poll question alone or based on the scenario.

Some of these responses are laughable. We all pay different prices

In the example, would you make that deal with your very own sister?

Who thinks they should treat their sister the same as everyone else? Of course I'm charging my sister less.

Why do you treat your sister differently?

That's not upselling. That's charging different fees for the same services.
Kerbouchard
10/10/17 1:52pm
Exactly. Upselling is adding service or product to increase the price.

I'm going to open a pizza joint. If you make 50K a pizza costs $10, 100K is $25, 250K is $50, and 500K is $75. Fair?
