Went to the jewelry store today, just lookin' around. Shows me this bracelet, say it's about $200, keeps dropping the price til $65 dollars. I told him all I had was $80 cash on me. He goes fro, 200 to 160 to 120 to 80 to 65.

I then trade him this old gold necklace I actually found in my room a few months ago for a nice little ring.

So did I do a good job or I did I get hustled??

You got hustled. The bracelet was never $200 and was always $19.99. He got $65 off of you plus an old gold necklace that he will polish and sell to another for $80.


Were you at a street fair?

Well, think of it this way. Some poor sap woulda bought the bracelet for the full $200 without trying to haggle it down. You got it for $65, and if you like it, then you're good.
