    Yes, it’s a great game, and they like to play it (or to get paid more if you don’t know the rules. I was in a souvenir store in Barcelona, and there was no price tag on Gaudi-themed clock.
    Me: Excuse me, what is the price for this?
    Salesguy: [with a voice that can be used to announce a khalif coming in] FIFFFF-TY EUROS!
    Me: Oh…could it be twenty though?
    S: [his eyes shine up, I know the game] Not less than thirty five!
    Me: Could we go thirty five and throw this other thing in?
    S: It’s a deal
