So, it's an old BBQ. Old tank, almost full, with it. $25. Worth the coin, I figured. The lady spoke less English than I do French. We got along okay. Then, she told me $25 was too expensive for her. She's newly arrived from the West Coast of Africa and I understand her predicament. I said, $20. She said $15. Where do you draw the line without seeming like a prick? I told het to think it over and to come back if she wanted it.

I have made up my mind. If she comes back with $20, I am just gonna give it to her.

Now, here is the nickel part. How do YOU handle those people who offer you a nickel for something that is a steal of a deal at $5? Oh yes, I AM serious. Professional "yard salers" and the ones who sit in front of their PCs and wait for Kijiji listings abound and they waste my time. I have asked (then even told) them to move out of my garage as I am going to shut the door and get back to work.
