•the cumulative effect of their concessions can overwhelm the parties&nbsp;
•a party may feel ambivalence about ending the and that feeling may prevent them from coming up with a solution
John Wade wrote a fascinating article, "The Last Gap in Negotiations: Why is it important? How can it be crossed?" and suggested multiple ways to close the last gap including:
<ul>
 <li>flipping a coin</li>
 <li>splitting the difference</li>
 <li>transferring the gap to a third party</li>
 <li>expanding the pie</li>
 <li>selling the item and splitting proceeds</li>
 <li>and more</li>
</ul>
