Price is determined by supply AND demand.

  No, price is determined exclusively by the seller. The ability to make sales and overall revenue is determined by supply and demand.

    > price is determined exclusively by the seller Nope. A seller can choose to sell below the market price, thereby inducing a shortage. In this case, it’s unclear the seller could predictably clear this perishable stock at a higher price.

      It looks like you are talking past each other with one referring to something like the price on the tag and another talking of the most profitable price.

        > one referring to something like the price on the tag and another talking of the most profitable price Market versus negotiated price. The market price is not controlled by a non-monopoly seller or non-monopsony buyer. That doesn’t preclude someone being convinced, in exchange for a bulk order, long-term commitment (formally or informally), out of sympathy, or a bribe or because a participant is misinformed or an idiot, to sell off market at a different negotiated price.

          That is very helpful, I did not have the right words.

  Influenced, not determined.
