Happy New Year to everyone!
I now have not one but two stories of my leet bargaining skills! The first occured in Toronto's Chinatown about four years ago. As I was walking along Spadina, I noticed a nice wall hanging. I found a price tag on it which said $20, which seemed like a good price to me, so I asked the guy waiting there "Twenty dollars?" However, he clearly mistook the tone of my voice, taking it that I was scornful of the price, and immediately said "No no no! Ten dollars! Better?" To which I happily agreed :)
My second came yesterday in WoW. I was about to check prices at the auction house when a random person there whispered me, asking if I wanted to buy his cool item for 10 gold. It was really good, and I wanted it, but I only had 5 gold on me at the time, which I told him. He clearly didn't understand though, for he then replied with "8 gold then". I told him again my lack of funds. He wondered off. As I went back to check the auction house prices, he returned and said "5 gold then". I happily agreed :)
I don't even know it, but I have mad bargaining skills!!
