Haha, that's hilarious!

Some people will do anything to get a discount on something. The worst part is: they make everybody's elses life a living hell in the process. It's such selfish behaviour.

On the flip side, there is a computer store near to where I live run by these 2 Chinese blokes, and they are way overpriced, and probably know less than my grandmother about computers. The only customers they get are people who don't know any better.

I love walking in there, with my GENUINE price lists in hand and asking something like: "How much can you do the Logitech M950 mouse for" (true story). They then punch in a few make-believe numbers into their make-believe internet browser, and come back with: "ummm, $240 dollar, best price".

Now, this mouse sells for $100-120 in most other stores, including big commercial chain stores. I ask why so much and they say: "Special mouse, super amazing, very expensive, special order!" I show them the price lists and explain it's not that "special", and they tell me I am trying to rip THEM off!

My usual reply is: "Forget about it, I will be back next week for my next dose of entertainment, thank you!"
