Yes, since you will gain $14

Explanation:

1. We're going to get $6 in this case. Because our profit represents the difference in our readiness to pay and the cost charged by the seller.

2. As we are ready to sell the seller is now 3, from this contract we will receive $17-3 = $14.

Every other vendor would lower our $14 surplus

The tender price refers to a purchaser's highest price for money. The demand price corresponds to a seller's cheapest price for a product.

This is known as the spread, but the smaller the spread, the larger the visibility of the defence.
