You gotta know how to work it

I went down to this area of the city where there were many shops w/ a lot of things to buy. I was w/ a friend there and being white, we got hit up for our moenay all day. Well, one story is that we sat down and had some tea w/ a guy who spoke pretty good english and had a new shop where he was selling perfume. He asked my friend if they wanted some perfume. Not once, did they ever hint they wanted to get anything. Well, he basically pushed it on them to buy it. He said since we were his new friends, he would sell it to us equivalent of about 60 dollars. That is a ridiculously hight amount for here, so we just looked at him like he was drunk. As we got up to go, he lowered it to about $18. That's quite a drop in price. Still, he was trying to rob his new friends he knew for ten minutes. We walked off, and he folded into about $9, which is what we ended up buying it for. In the states, I don't know much about fragrances, I know some smells, but fragrances, this would probably be sold for about $80-100, maybe more. We got a good deal, ended up finding later we could have got it for $5-6. No problem, I say we did a pretty good job, though. Learn some language, be stubborn, and get some good stuff. Watch the Mavericks for me, I don't have this opportunity, I just check the final score online, go Mav's.
