For (seller,buyer), the pure NE are (1,1), (2,2), (3,1) and (3,3), which you can easily check by making a table and underlining best responses. As for the mixed NE, the buyer should also offer 1 against a mix of 1 with probability 2/3 and 2 with probability 1/3; and, symmetrically, the seller should also offer 3 against a mix of 3 with probability 2/3 and 2 with probability 1/3.
But all these mixed equilibria accomplish is to lower the average payoff of one party by 2/3 of a million dollars. They are inefficient - the person who employs a mixture here is being malicious!
Finally, a unique solution can be found by eliminating weakly dominated strategies. First observe that neither 1 for the seller nor 3 for the buyer ever works out better than choosing 2. Then observe that once we rule out these two options, neither 3 for the seller nor 1 for the buyer ever does better than choosing 2. Thus probably the most sensible play is (2,2). [Manage messages]
