This paper studies the impact of acceptance to remanufactured products by building a three-stage dynamic game model between manufacturer´s pricing decisions and consumers buying behavior. We solve the sub-game perfect equilibrium between the discriminatory pricing strategy and consumer choice behavior. The results show that consumer behavior affects manufacturer´s discriminatory pricing strategies and profit, and as the acceptance increases, the difference between new and re-manufactured goods becomes smaller.
