Flea Market - I hope the Broker makes his offer quickly on my sister’s laptop!

She doesn’t need to know

I’ll give you £11 for it, and the Collector will give you an additional £5.50 if you sell it to me.

£19, take it or leave it.

Purblebeard - You’re a main competitor, and you know you can collect an average of 42 pounds for this item if you sell it this week! Knowing that, and that there will be others willing to cash this item, I think $26.5 is only a fair offer…

That’s not what my numbers tell me.

Sorry, you’d get an average of 37. Anyway, offer me $27 or more, any player, and I’ll take your offer over the Broker’s offer.

Okay, my math is all wrong. $21 or more, anyone? Average Broker offer with bonus is 25.50, but honestly, don’t trust me anymore - do the math! If no-one’s biting, I’ll take the Broker’s $16.50.

Is that what you have Purplebeard? 25.50? Sorry about those erroneous claims earlier, btw

Purplebeard:

That’s about right. Unfortunately, at the price you’re asking, I’d be better off searching my own attic.

Fine, fine - You’re math is infallible. I accept Purplebeard’s offer of $19.
