Ancient Retail Revolution: The Birth of Fixed Pricing
Before the mid-19th century, haggling was the norm in Western retail. Every purchase involved negotiation between merchant and customer, with prices varying based on relationships, perceived wealth, and negotiation skills. This system persisted for thousands of years until a revolutionary pricing innovation changed retail forever and shaped the modern shopping experience we know today.
