BidWix is a price negotiation tool that works best when both parties understand the conditions that make it shine. There are three. Each one matters. This article explains them.

"If it's free, you're the product." It's one of those phrases that has become so true, so often, that it now sounds like a law of the Internet. So, I hear you asking me: what's the catch with BidWix?

A photographer licensed an image from her archive for $200. A year later, she saw it on billboards all over the country. The agency that bought it had a budget of $10,000 for that exact shot. She didn't know. They didn't say. Neither of them was lying: they were just playing the game the way everyone plays it.

He wanted to hire her. She wanted the job. They both knew it. And yet they spent two weeks circling each other like neither one did, because each was convinced that showing it first would cost them something. It did cost them something. But not what they feared.

You and I are trying to agree on a price. I say it’s worth $100. You say it’s worth $400. The usual move is to meet in the middle: $250. It sounds fair at first. But once you notice it, “splitting the difference” won’t look as neutral as it seems.
