Different sellers often sell the same good at different prices. Using a strategic bargaining model, I characterize how … the equilibrium prices of a good depend on the interaction between its sellers' costs, its buyers' values, and a network … capturing various frictions associated with trading it. In contrast to the standard random-matching model of bargaining in …
