Stephen King experimented with "pay what you think is fair" and was very disappointed with it. Radiohead also tried it. And even if we agree that the bagel story would be a typical experience, not every business can take a sustained 13% loss due to theft.

"pay what you think is fair" is a far cry from "pay the stated amount". Shareware works this way. I know there are people who keep the shareware, use it and don't pay for it. I also know people who think that the speed limit is off by about 30 MPH and drive appropriately. Both are wrong.
