Seed Price-anchoring offer

Define

A higher reference number is shown first so the real price reads as a concession, not as a starting bid.

Mechanism

Contrast. People judge a price against the first number they see. The anchor must be a real comparison (was, compared to, cost to replace) or it collapses.

Verdict

We have a credible reference the buyer will accept.

Don't

The anchor is invented, or the street price is already known. A fake was-price trains distrust.

Gulf note

Show VAT. An anchor against an imported alternative or an installment total can work. Do not insult what the local market already knows the street price is.
