Abstract
I study a dynamic model of monopoly sales in which a monopolist without commitment power interacts with a consumer whose valuation is private. I characterize equilibria of this game and show how the seller's strategy varies with initial beliefs. I find that the seller's payoffs under spot contracting can be higher than under commitment with renegotiation and that random delivery contracts can improve payoffs beyond posted prices.
