No.

2) The seller may be forced to raise the price if their costs go up.

Manufacturers base their prices off of the raw materials needed to create their product and then add to the price to make a profit for themselves. Retailers buy the products in bulk from the manufacturers and receive a discount for it. They then turn around and sell the products as individual items and add extra to the price to make their product. This is why buying straight from the manufactures or in bulk for BJ's or another wholesale seller is cheaper than from a retailer. So sellers do have control on their prices and they can determine what price to sell it at. Smart sellers base their pricing on the price in which they think consumers will pay the most for and also in order to get enough profit to pay off their expensives--utilities, workers, etc..Do sellers always have total control over price?
not always
No. If an item doesn't sell well there will be a need for a reduction in price and that is controlled by the consumer reaction to the product not by the price the seller wants to put on it.
Sure.





The Buyers have the Control over what they'll pay.
