I took four tires to a friend’s garage sale and was asking $35 apiece. I needed to step away for a bit so I asked him to watch them for me. <br /> <br />"Sure," he said, "but just in case someone offers less, how low are you willing to go?" <br /> <br />"Try for more, but I will accept $20 each," I said, and left. <br /> <br />When I returned, my tires were gone. "How much did you get for them?" I asked excitedly. <br /> <br />"Twenty dollars each." <br /> <br />"Who bought them?" <br /> <br />"I did!"
