Will the name-your-price model sweep the economy? Not entirely. It takes work to haggle--which is why fixed prices happened in the first place. Says Amazon CEO Jeffrey P. Bezos, who thinks fixed prices will remain the norm: ''Would you want to negotiate the price of The New York Times every time you bought it?'' It amazes me how Bezos is quoted as though he understands retailing better than any other. Haggling has been going on in this country for centuries on all large ticket items. The price variation on such small priced items such as a newspaper is not significant enough to bother taking the time to haggle. People haggle on real estate, cars, boats, etc. A newspaper is a very bad example.
