A bargain is in its very essence a hostile transaction do not all men try to abate the price of all they buy? I contend that a bargain even between brethren is a declaration of war.
Here's the rule for bargains: Do other men, for they would do you. That's the true business precept.
Sometimes one pays most for the things one gets for nothing.
There are very honest people who do not think that they have had a bargain unless they have cheated a merchant.
Bargain... anything a customer thinks a store is losing money on.
Nothing is cheap which is superfluous, for what one does not need, is dear at a penny.
— Plutarch
