When it comes to technical terms, the demand and supply eventually identify the market based value of a business and maintains prices at a certain level of balance and equilibrium. In many instances, purchasers and sellers are looking out for their best interests. The ideal interest of a consumer is obviously to not take something less than what they think the business is worth, and the seller won't accept anything beyond what they assume the business to be worth. This works in most cases, but is obviously not typically a fool proof approach.
