FIELD NOTE 6.62 - Haggling.

He wanted 100euro for a handmade leather bag and I didn't want to pay that. So I made my friend Pegah go with me to the marché today and we had decided that we would tag-team the man until he gave me a lower price.
Eventually, after shrewd bargaining on her part and pointing out flaws on my end, he finally conceded and agreed on the price of 85 euro. It was a fun experience and I left the market with a handmade leather bag, the perfect way to carry my glass bowls back from France.
