Shmuli Horowitz was having a garage sale and invited some of his neighbors to sell their wares at his place as well. One of Shmuli’s neighbors, Brent Mathews, took four tires over and was asking $30 apiece. Brent needed to leave for a few minutes, so he asked Shmuli to watch the tires for me.
"Sure," Shmuli said, "but if someone offers less, how low are you willing to go?"
"Try your best for more, but I guess I’d be willing to accept $15," Brent said, and left.
When Brent returned, his tires were gone. "How much did you get for them?" Brent asked excitedly.
"Fifteen dollars each."
"Who bought them?"
"I did!"
