<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shangas, post: 321337, member: 360&quot;]Many years ago, now, I was at my local flea-market looking over this stall run by a lady who sold jewelry and watches and such-like. Ahead of me at the table, were two Chinese guys. They had to be in their forties or fifties at least, and I recognised them as regulars at the market who are constantly hunting for watches. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway they were looking at the watches, tossing them aside, grabbing other watches, looking at them, opening the cases, tossing them back...And the lady was getting more and more agitated, because she could SEE that they...</p><p><br /></p><p>a). Didn&#039;t care if they broke them.</p><p>b). Weren&#039;t going to buy any. </p><p><br /></p><p>In the end she lost her patience and told them to leave. </p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s when I stepped forward and she said to me &quot;Can you BELIEVE those guys!?&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>I picked up one of her watches - a big pocketwatch - and carefully opened it, looked it over, put it back together...then I saw the price, and I asked for a discount. </p><p><br /></p><p>She said normally she wouldn&#039;t since it&#039;s already quite cheap, but she took 1/3 off, for me, because I was a regular customer, and because I knew how to handle her stock without breaking it. </p><p><br /></p><p>I ran into that same lady about a month ago at the flea-market, and she laughed when I showed her, I still had the watch!! That was confirmation in her mind, if she ever needed any - that she&#039;d sold it to the right person at the right price <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
