Bartering and haggling
#28607885 - 01/03/24 12:34 AM (25 days, 14 hours ago) |

There used to be a time not that long ago. Where you could exchange goods for other goods or services. It’s still practiced in some places.
There also used to be the art of haggling. Where you would be able to negotiate the price down or up on some things. This still happens in open air bazaar all the time.
I think it would be pretty fun to hypothetically debate what it would take to haggle or barter for something.
For instance.
I have a terrible cow.
 It’s the worst cow you’ve ever seen. The noises this beast makes. The things that it produces. It ruined a family. The worst cow you can imagine. What can I get for it?
The Shroomery bazaar is open! Opening bid, I’ll take a hay penny for this beast.

I have to offer a bag of mephedrone and some warm cotton candy faygo. You could cool it down if you wanted too though.

Due to recent allegations of vehicular manslaughter by the cow. I’m gonna lower the price by five.
 So I will split that Faygo with you. Do we have any other bids?

I'm willing to part with one of these for the black licorice

Huh, I think I'm getting a good sense for what is a hot commodity here.
I got some energy drink mix and a slightly used copy of Cars and Trucks and Things that Go for trade. No lowballers, I know what I got:

 Next on the auction floor. We have a perfectly normal box. Give it a lil shake. There’s a little something in there rattling around. We’ll start the bidding at a song.

Looks like it's covered in blood. Is there human remains in the box?

The instructions that came with the dybuk box said only that we should leave it sealed the way it is. But once it’s your box, you can do whatever you want with it. I have no idea what’s in there. Because I’m not gonna open the box.
It’s a surprise box! It’s filled with mysteries, wonder, perhaps enchantment?
