Antique barometer. Three simple ways to check health

Antique barometer. Three simple ways to check health
Being interested in the price of items in antique shops and flea markets from sellers sometimes get a counter question
Are you buying for yourself
or for a gift?! An
idiotic question, what difference does it make to the seller for what purposes do I need the item?
And if you ask for a justification for such a strange question.
Then you can hear a well-known excuse
that they say if you are a collector for yourself, then I will sell it cheaper in good hands, a strange altruism.
That is
If I buy into a bottle of wine
and I will tell the seller that I will drink myself, then I can count on the maximum discount,
and if I plan to drink it with a friend, then there will be no discounts,
and if I put the bottle in the closet and only look at it, I can get the unlimited generosity of the seller.
Collector is that a universal promo code?
It's not that simple.
This question is a probing psychological trick with its help, the seller determines whether you are potential buyers
or are trying to understand the selling price of your item.
And if the seller saw
how
you paid attention to the item, he unmistakably
will determine your purchasing opportunity.
Since the collector will examine the item several times before asking the price from all sides, and then ask the price, the ordinary
owner of antiques does not understand the value of the item
and is guided solely by
external similarity
own and sold antiques.
And if the seller is convinced that there is a real buyer in front of him, the price of the item will be announced alone, if the seller understands that you want to sell such an item, the selling price will be significantly lower.
