Selling something for more than it’s listed

Every sold something for more then it was originally listed for? Once I saw a practical joke show about a guy going into a car dealership and trying to negotiate with the car dealer. The funny twist was that they guy was trying to tell the car salesman that he had so much money to spend on a car for his wife and the car he wanted to buy was priced too cheap.

The buyer wanted the car salesman to mark up the care. The guy kept trying to negotiate with the salesman but the opposite way. He kept telling him that if he sold the car to him for the listed price then his wife wouldn’t be happy with him because he bought a piece of junk. He needed to pay more for this car. It was so funny because the salesman was at a loss of what to do, he was caught totally off guard.

I thought something like this was impossible, but my wife recently proved me wrong. We’ve been clearing out some unneeded furniture from our house recently and we listed a kitchen table on craigslist. We listed it as well as a desk for $75 each. I ended up selling the computer desk for $65, but my wife topped me by selling the kitchen table for $80!

That’s right we had it listed for $75 and she sold it for $80. When the man arrived to look at the table he told her it was exactly what he was looking for. He was staging an apartment and it would fit perfect into the kitchen of the apartment. She told him it was listed for $75. I guess the man wasn’t interested in negotiating so he immediately took out his wallet and handed her $80. My wife and I are bad about keeping cash and she didn’t have any change. He told her not to worry about it and to keep the change. I guess she made up for my lack of negotiation skills with the computer desk.
