    So I was in a camera shop in Singapore. I wasn't going to buy anything but I was interested in the prices for a lens.
    I saw a lens that I was thinking about buying but the guy was charging $550 for the lens. I saw the same lens on ebay
    for around $50 dollars so I was trying to be polite and told him that I would look elsewhere. The guy kept bringing the price
    down from 550 to 500, 450, 400, 350 and then finally to $200. I still told him that I will look around and come back later;
    and then he says "This is final offer, Be a Man! Be a Man! Stop acting like little girl, be a Man!" xD
     
  2. hahah.. wow... you should have jus told him 25 dollars and see what he said..

    lol 550 to 200 jus like that..

    you should have told him to "do the right thing" and bring the price down to $50 or else "somebody is going to get a hurtin real bad".
     
  5. lmfao are you serious?? maybe that is how he gets people.. start high and offer huge discount
     
  6. yea but if you go from 550 all the way to 200 in 50 increments.. that would make anyone go wtf?

    I would look at thinking did you steal this or buy it off someone?
