Jew-Jitsu, the real Jewish super skill

Yesterday was the bazzar, lots of fun, and the big ket to remember is that nothing has a fixed price. You want a rug, $200, or we can settle in the middle at lets say $30. These guys are terrible at bargaining. I would shop around for something that I like, get a few good prices, and then zero in on my target. Towards the end of the bargainig I would drop the price a few more $$$$ (to less than the agreed price) and whip out the money and basically shove it in the guys hand. They never say no.

Even at a fraction of the original asking price, and less than the agreed upon price, where the deal was done at the biggest suckers shop, I still feel like I paid too much.
