As to this see the Milgram experiments etc. | *'''[[Authority (influence)|Authority]]''': We are more susceptible to following instructions from people in a putative position of authority.

*'''[[Social proof]]''': We are instinctive joiner-inners. Well, OK, you, my darling contrarians — obviously ''you’re'' not, but all the other [[sheeple]] — ''they'' are.

Hence: never buy in an auction. | *'''[[Scarcity (influence)|Scarcity]]''': On sale now for a limited time only. There are only five left. When they’re gone, they’re gone.
