Me, I do the opposite. Sort of. I bought a pair of binoculars and the guy wanted twenty euro. Decent deal. I said how much to post them to Dublin? Eight Euro says he. So I said that's twenty eight, I'll give you thirty. Sound, says he.
Mind you, when I got them they were ****: lenses all scratched to **** and no use to anyone. Guess that sort of spoils my little story, huh? Not that anyone was listening of course.

Yeah it doesn't really happen in retail, and is annoying af when people try to haggle a set price. Like at the bookstore people would try to get deals on new releases when the price is ****ing printed on the thing. Like what power do you think I, the cashier, wields in the industry ffs.
