Fleamarket Fun

[lucid]

During queensday here in the Netherlands, my friends and I decided to pool our old stuff and then some more, and set up shop at the fleamarket.
We're looking to get rid of it and make some money for our camping trip.

That where the fun starts

SC: How much for this handbag?
Friend: All the bags are fifty cents.
SC: That's too much.
Friend: Allright take it for twenty. (We are trying to get rid of it after all)
SC: *In a whiny voice* Please give it to me!

SC: I'll give you 5 bucks for this oven.
Me: *Immediately* Sold!
SC: Um, is it too late to offer 4?
Me: I'm sorry, you said 5.
SC: Um, well okay then.

SC: What do you want for this scanner?
Me: I'll take 5.
SC: How about you give it to me for 2? Are you sure it's working?
Me: It's working, I assure you. Tell you what, you can have it for 3.
SC: Ok. You sure it works?
Me: I'm sure, here, let me bag it for you.
I hand over the bag guy hands over TWO euros and walks away! I'm not going to make a lot of fuss about it, but what a cheapskate!

And then there's the people that don't understand how to haggle. If you think 10 bucks is too much how about naming your price instead of walking away. You'll say 5, I'll say 7 and you'll get it for 6.

At least we made enough money for our trip

My parents used to do the fleamarket thing. As a matter of fact, we got a bunch of junk we need to sale in a yardsale.

(We're pack rats. )

I feel for ya, I really do. But at least ya got rid of your excess treasures.

Garage sales can be so fun.

I'm the type who would've hollered at him and made a scene. Bastige pulling something like that...what a scumbag.

And yeah, even if it's "only a euro", ITS A EURO. Its money. <.<
