Bargaining

Bargaining, negotiating the price between the buyer and the seller, is common in many parts of the world. In the United States it is not very common. In stores in the United States the price on the object is usually not negotiable. However, you can usually bargain when purchasing a car, especially a used car. You can usually significantly lower the price of the car through some smart bargaining. You can also usually bargain in flea markets (markets where people sell used things). Sometimes people are surprised to find out that you can bargain in some unexpected places in the United States. I've heard of people bargaining for a cheaper hotel rate and even when purchasing a computer.

At the Flea Market
Put the following bargaining dialog in order by writing the number in the box.

a) I'll give you $17 for it.

b) Ok. I'll wrap it for you.

c) How much does this vase cost?

d) Twenty five dollars.

e) It's a high quality vase. It's an antique. I'll tell you what. Since you seem very interested I'll sell it to you for $20.

f) How about $15?

g) Twenty five dollars?! That's expensive! I could buy a new vase for cheaper than that!

h) I can't sell it for $15! $18 is as low as I can go.
