So I'm trying to sell our office coffee table. Almost everyone agrees the price is too high. When asked for a better suggested price, our new senior designer suggests we set it at $49.
When I finally agree that it might be the best price he adds: “and then they will try and negotiate it down”.
Spring Day, Saturday
Quiet neighborhood garage sale.
There are 4 small card tables, well appointed, small doilies under each item, tasteful knickknacks, some pottery.
Man comes up, looks over a brooch. Puts it down, wanders off, come back and looks again. Attractive middle-aged woman sees him return and goes over.
She: "It belonged to my late mother, Im asking $25 for it".
He: squinting…"ummmm, I don’t know" (clearly he is looking for a deal).
She: "Well, it has an amazing history and great sentimental value".
He: "How about $5.00"?
She: "My father smuggled it out of Italy in 1943, clenched in his buttcheeks. He rode a horse that way for 1,000 miles"!
He: "Uh huh".
She: "It's 24k gold, it has 3 diamonds in it"!
He: "$7.50"?
She: "It’s magical, you’ll be rich and it will make you immortal"!
He: "$8.00".
She: sighing "Fine".
He: "Will you take a check"?
