Here's more for references: [1] -- 68.161.156.210 ( talk) 01:33, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
Rreisman ( talk) 19:58, 14 August 2011 (UTC) I did a significant expansion of this page just earlier, by copying into my sandbox, then copying back, to minimize any risk to the live page -- sorry if this may have confused the change tracking. (I don't know if this is commenting in the right place--added this after saving changes)
My intent was to remove none of the prior content, simply to add, and do minor mods/corrections related to that. Citations are included wherever necessary I think (except for material already in referenced related pages, and presumably adequately cited there). Please let me know if any issues.
Should tips for wait staff and others in the service industry be discussed in this article? -- WBTtheFROG ( talk) 00:40, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
Both articles cover a lot of common ground are apparently unaware of each other's existence. 2A02:1810:A802:8A00:FDC5:AC28:D140:2898 ( talk) 06:43, 1 May 2015 (UTC)
I suggest they NOT be merged, but differentiation might be helpful. PWYW (even with a posted floor price) is actually very different from Priceline-style Name Your Own Price, since NYOP keeps the floor secret (it has been described as more accurately “Guess Our Price.”) Rather than seeking win-win customer fairness and transparency (and framing to merit generosity, as Everlane.com did in their 2015 after Christmas PWYW sale), NYOP is an opaque zero-sum bidding game for bargain hunters in which the customer tries to get as close to the secret floor as possible, but loses the turn if they bid too low (so that customers are driven to bid higher simply to avoid being shut out by missing the floor).

Here is an example of an openly licensed book available under "Pay what feels right" terms, which are not mentioned in the article but I think fit in there. Perhaps it could serve as an illustration. -- Daniel Mietchen ( talk) 16:31, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
I have gone through and changed some wording in the article to break up sentences. I have listed notable changes below
There is one change I am unsure of (and so have not made) and would appreciate feedback on

Unable to find sources which clearly differentiate. Daask ( talk) 13:10, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
I don't have any sources except the dictionary. I'd suggest pay-what-you-can is prevalent in a transaction where the buyer has the limiting economic position (ie the buyer is poorer). This is diametrically opposed to pay-what-you-want which is prevalent in a transaction where the seller has the limiting economic position ( ie the seller is poorer). I haven't read either article.
