    Hadn't thought od this-- I may use it! 

    Last weekend, at a pretty high-end show in a wealthy suburb of
    Chicago, I had three people who clearly could have bought and sold
    me ask me whether that was my best price. All three bought the piece
    anyway, and only the last one actually got any discount. It was a
    fairly expensive piece, it was late on Sunday, and I wanted to go
    home with the money. 

    "How much is this?"
    "$374"
    "How'd you come up with a price like that?"
    "I ran out of 5's, so you save a buck."
    "What's your best price?"
    "$374"

    (I should have said, "My best price? $800!" I swear, next time
    someone asks "Can you do any better?" I'm going to try to remember to
    say, "Well, $800 would be better...") 

    That's how the show went. My sneaking suspicion is that if these
    folks thought I made anywhere near as much as they do, they wouldn't
    try to haggle.
