  1. *p < 0.1, **p < 0.05, ***p < 0.01. Robust standard errors are shown in parenthesis. The dependent variable in all specifications is the vendor’s price quoted in thousands of Colombian pesos (kCOP). Controls in all regressions: geographic cluster, day and sticker fixed effects; (perceived) age and gender of the vendor, whether the vendor has nearby vendors, and journey. §In Column (1), we use the list’s total price if the vendor mentioned it. Otherwise, we use the sum of the nine stickers for each vendor–buyer interaction when the vendor separately quoted the prices for the nine stickers. We could not construct the sum in 12 interactions (10 vendors) because the vendor did not quote some stickers. In 9 interactions (8 vendors), the vendors gave a total price for the nine stickers. Four of them did not say the price for each sticker individually, and five of them proposed to give the Stadium, the Team, and the Player for free if the buyer bought the other six stickers.
