AV Analysis
Adam’s added value is $2,600
Each person with a black card has added value of $100
»Their total added value is $2,600
The game is symmetric

AV Analysis cont.
Barry’s added value is $2,300
But, each black card has zero added value

4 Hidden Costs of Bidding
You’re unlikely to succeed--there are better uses of your time
When you win the business, the price is so low you lose money
The incumbent can retaliate--you end up trading high-margin for low-margin customers
Win or lose, you establish a lower price--existing customers will want a better deal
