KB's New Black Jacket

KB's new black jacket. He bought it about five months ago in a different city. In this culture you must bargain for your purchases. When he first asked the guy (we'll call him Bob) how much the jacket was, Bob said "$215." KB counter offered with "$14." Bob got offended at the offer so KB walked away. KB was about 50 yards away when Bob came running after him saying "Ok, ok, my friend, I give you great price. Lowest price. You are my friend. $85." Again KB said "$14" and Bob got offended and stormed back to his store. KB walked away. When KB was about 100 yards away, Bob came running after him saying "My friend, please come back, I give you low price. Final offer: $42." KB said "$14." Bob said "$40." KB said "$14." Bob said "$35." KB: "$14." Bob: "$30, or I will not sell it." KB: "$14 or I won't buy it." Bob: "Ok, 25." KB: "$14." Bob: "$20." KB: "$14." Bob: "$17." KB: "$14." By this time Bob had made a huge scene and LB said "give the guy a break and buy it already," so KB got it for $17.
