- Things to do when you have a twenty-minute wait, some string, silly putty, two different-coloured markers, a mirror and a target.
Easy. A string necklace with silly putty beads, polka dots, and a target pendant. Then admire yourself.
- How to Haggle
I'm so qualified to answer this.
I'm such a good haggler that in Mexico I make the vendors cry. And then they ask me to marry their loser brother. Or themself.
Don't start low and meet in the middle. You lose all sense of what it's worth. First, determine EXACTLY what it's worth to YOU. That way when the vendor tries to convince you that the materials or handiwork is worth more, (which how the hell do you know if it's true?) you're sticking to a unchanging standard, what it's worth to YOU. Feel free to tell him/her that.
Walk up and offer what it's worth to you.
DON'T change your price.
No matter what he says, keep repeating your price.
Take the money out of your purse and hold it in your hand.
Let them SEE it.
Money they can SEE is worth more than any number you throw around.
Keep repeating your price, holding the money in your hand.
Try to carry small bills so you can give him/her exact change.
Cheating a man is like taking a bandaid off. The faster you do it, the less he's likely to mind or make a fuss.
Don't change your price unless you feel it's a matter of pride to him that you make some small concession. In that case, it doesn't matter how little it is.
If you hit a snag, even an offer of fifty cents more will often seal the deal.
If all else fails, smile sadly, set the item down and walk away.
This is their worst nightmare and they won't let you get far.

Well, without having ANY IDEA who you could mean, 'Rez, I'll just have to work off the cuff.
Arm the crickets.
Throw a boat anchor in his bike's spokes as he's riding.
Release a spider plague.

I loved your explanation of how to haggle. SO very true.
And the spider plague sounds good.
