Why do you treat your sister differently?
Isn't every person you sell to someone's family member? Would you approve of someone else taking advantage of your sister in the same manner?

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

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.

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

Are you offering the same deal to every customer?

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

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

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.

That's not upselling. That's charging different fees for the same services.
Kerbouchard

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?
