Price discrimination is charging each consumer their entire willingness to pay. What if a monopolist can charge each buyer their entire willingness to pay? Learn about the effect of perfect price discrimination on output and deadweight loss in this video.

Hey Sal, Amazon can and does figure out exactly what your willingness to pay is as a buyer. It's actually a bonafide science at this point how to price things for specific buyers based on their willingness to pay.

Perhaps, this illustration could be taken for the first degree of price discrimination.

this benefits lower classes honestly and makes me realize why rich upper class privileged folk want price-equality reality is, there will always be discrimination, might as well mitigate it then

One question - You want us to assume that say we know that our very first customer is ready to pay $500 for the first room and we charge him that price and then for next room somebody is ready to pay us $375 and we charge him that - my question here is - what if for the next room also a customer is willing to pay $500 or may be more - then drawing a downward sloping demand curve won't be possible and the shape of the demand curve will be indeterminent, isn't it? Please answer.

In your case, your demand curve will be completely different from the one in the video. Assuming there is another customer willing to pay $500, the quantity demanded at $500 will be 2. Keep in mind that the demand curve in the real world is not a straight line, but it will be almost always downwards sloping
