That rug, what is your best price on it?

Yes, I understand that this is a discount rug shop and the quality is probably questionable to begin with, but I am about to begin a bargaining session that will embarrass not just you and I, but everyone in the shop.

My bargaining strategy? I'm glad you asked.

That rug. What is your best price for it? Your best price.

Yes, I am quite good at bargaining, thank you. My husband likes it a lot. I think that's why he lets me be the gold-digging, chain drenched, thrifty shopper by his side.

This rug is good. It will suit my purposes.

What was your best price again?

When can you deliver it, if I do go ahead and buy it? How soon?

Tomorrow? I guess that will have to do.

What was your best price again?

My, that is a lot. Is that really your best price?

What if the rug is delivered and it isn't the right size, will you take it back? I'm far too busy polish my rings to measure my rooms to see what sort of rug will fit.

But you'll take the rug back and give me another rug for free if it doesn't fit, right?

What was your best price again?

Hmmm well let me call my husband. My daughter is currently sick. She's at the doctor right now. Yes, this is essential knowledge to this transaction. The purchasing of this rug hinges on my daughters general health.
