Why are you reading the classifieds? What do you need?
I'm looking for a bookcase, but I don't want to buy a new one.
Are you having any luck?
Not really. There aren't any used bookcases listed. But there are a few rummage sales on Saturday. I think I'll go to them.
Do you mind if I go with you?
Not at all. These private sales are great places to bargain. And sometimes you can find terrific things among all the junk.
I learned to negotiate 9 from my mother. I thought I was pretty good at bargaining, but I had a problem the other day at Kimble's Department Store.
What happened?
