Tying is a practice in which a seller offers two products for sale as a package deal and requires the buyer to purchase both products together. The argument that consumers will not be willing to pay any more for two items sold as one than they would for the two items sold separately is used to defend tying because it suggests that the seller is not exploiting the buyer's market power or charging a higher price for the package deal. Resale price maintenance, predatory pricing, and free-riding do not involve bundling products for sale.
