I don’t like bargaining with poor sellers, but my wife do. Probable because she was herself a very poor woman while living in Belorussia.
Last Sunday we visited the Central Park in Manhattan and she asked the street’s vendor of the price of the small bag of nuts.
He said $3 and she was about to leave, but suddenly he offered her $2 for bag. She bought. The vendor got insulted any way and started yelling we are greed people. It was disgusting.

But the vendor still took your money...the main thing is to pay the value you believe the product is worth.

[kremlin_curant]

Yes, he or her did. If you believe the merchandise is overpriced you can bargain.
But bargain to lower price for $1 it is no sense.

Omg you've decorated your American Christmas tree with Uzbek hand made ornaments. You're a traveler indeed.

[peacetraveler22]

Haha! I also have ornaments from Russia, Armenia, Georgia and tons of places in the USA! As well as many sentimental family and childhood ornaments.

What age is the oldest one? I have an ornament dated almost 1950

I once wrote a post about the ornaments, tree cutting, etc. You can read it here, if interested https://peacetraveler22.livejournal.com/60240.html

what's next?
let's me guess!
aa.
- Moldova?
- Armenia?
- Did Steven Avery kill that woman?

[peacetraveler22]

I have no idea about Avery. Next will be Georgia again, and probably a day or two in Armenia for my annual birthday trip in February.

Happy Birthday!
