    To me, it's unethical because you are taking advantage of decent
    people who are willing to let you set a price. You sell one item to a
    person for full price and 10% less to another. 

    How is that first person going to feel? Like she got ripped off for
    the extra or that you do not sell to her at a fair price. 

    Some people just feel they are special or are trying to take
    advantage of you and your good nature is the way I see it. 

    I want the piece to go to a good home. Someone who values the
    bargain and the process of buying will not give it a good home. 

    If I was to raise the price I'd raise it 15% and discount it 10. For
    people who do not who don't bargain, I'd give them 15% for being a
    decent human being. The extra 5% would be for having to do business
    and the extra time taken to do so and the bad feeling it engenders
    when I have to bargain.
