There are nine possible outcomes. The three worst result in no deal at all–deadlock. Other results range from a cash purchase price of $115,000 to $103,000.
One path leads to a relationship deal with a low price and deferred payment. While this deal looks good for now, it may or may not represent the “best” outcome. It all depends on how well the relationship works out over time. That is a general feature of relationship deals. They may look good on paper but may not work out so well in real life. Part of making them work is continual, successful “relationship negotiations” over the term of the agreement.
We encourage you to play the game a few more times and see what happens when you make different decisions. You can use the control buttons at the top to fast forward to the NEXT decision point or replay with the RESTART button.
