SHE: “This book is going for $85.00 on the internet. I’ll take $25.00 for it though.”

ME: “Let’s take a look.”

SHE: “Well, I said it’s going for $85.00.”

ME: (typing) “MmmHmm”

SHE: “You don’t believe me?”

ME: (typing)

SHE: (straining to see my computer) “What would you pay for a book worth that much?”

ME: “For this book and these couple others, I can give you $35.00”

SHE: “But I said this is an $85.00 book even without those others! I can’t take that!”

ME: (trying to hand the books back) “Well, there are people ASKING $85.00. But prices for this book on this condition start at about ten. I understand if you don’t want…”

SHE: “Okay, $35.00.”
