sketchy dude comes in with a box of books. I sort out the good ones and then we proceed thusly:
me: Did you want cash or trade?
him: Cash.
me: Okay, it looks like $20 in cash.
him: Mmmmmmmmmmm *ogles stack of books pretending to think*
him: Mmmmmmmm.
him: mmmmmm.
him: Uh how about $25?
me: No, twenty is about the limit for this group.
him: $24?
me: No.
him: $23?
me: I don't do the haggling thing, I offer as much as I think the books are worth from the get go.
him: $22.50?
me: No.
him: I'm just trying to get a cup of coffee without breaking the twenty!
me: Do you want the $20 or not?
him: Okay.
