What was the man’s first feeling about the price of the sofa? [br] [originaltex

W: Can I help you, sir?
M: Yes. How much is that sofa—the brown one?
W: I can see you have excellent taste, sir. That sofa is a sample at $250. It’s the best bargain here.
M: That price includes these two armchairs, doesn’t it?
W: Oh, come on, sir. If we included those two armchairs in the price, we’d be out of business in no time.
M: What are you charging for the armchairs then?
W: They are also a good bargain. Only $120 each.
M: $120 each? But that’s ridiculous! $240 for two armchairs and $250 for a sofa that can sit five people!
W: You don’t seem to understand, sir. It’s not a question of how many people can sit on the furniture but how much time, labor and materials go into making it.
M: I know all that. But your price is much too high. What’s your best price on the sofa only?
W: I can’t offer you any reduction on the sofa. But if you buy the two armchairs as well, I’ll reduce the overall price to $460.
M: Only $30 off. That’s impossible. I’ll give you $350 for the lot.
W: That’s out of the question, sir. My last offer is $450.
M: Then I’m not interested. Good-bye.
