I'm An Expert Haggler At Garage Sales



Who haggles over a nickel? This guy! I deal with this type of person the same way every yard sale. An old guy with a big truck and fat wallet offers me 50 cents for a one dollar item. I say, "Honey, if you can't afford a dollar, you can just have it." That takes the wind out of their sails, because it was never about the money. The script for this video originally appeared at McSweeney’s. (via Neatorama)

I'd have told him to take a hike way back at the book.

We travel a lot, really, a lot. My husband loves to haggle. Years ago he decided after the haggling (which is all he really wanted to do in the first place) to pay the original amount to the vendor. I can not express how many hugs this has lead to all over the world. divadias
