A big burly man walked over, glanced at the variety of jade stones, then at the price tag, and asked, "Hey, old man, can you sell these jade stones a bit cheaper? I want to buy several pieces."
Crunch, Crunch.
Without interrupting his sunflower seed chewing, the old man gave him a glance and retorted, "The sign clearly states 'no negotiation'."
His statement made the man gasp before his face registered an irked look: "Have a look around in this jade stone market; who has prices as high as yours?"
"They are they, I am me." The crunching noises stopped for a brief moment as the old man stated nonchalantly.
Though he hadn't sold a single stone since setting up his stand in the morning, he still had no intention of dropping his prices.
Nothing to it, he just felt that the stones he had were worth the prices he asked for.
The stones some people were selling he wasn't even sure where they dug out, whereas his were authentically sourced from mines.
How could one compare the two?
