It wasn't that she couldn't use her credit card for this, but she didn't think that anyone needed to know that she was in a pawn shop this late at night buying something for $130. Putting on the serious air of a collector, she leaned against the counter business-like. She looked at him pointedly and they locked eyes, "Kip. You and I both know that that's far from the fair asking price for this piece of junk! Look at the leather on the case: it's cracked and starting to mold. I'd have to replace it before the year is out. The inner lining is also so dingy that, well, I might as buy a new case for this thing, huh? As for the violin itself, please, you know that the body of the instrument as seen better days. When was this made? The 40s? 50s? I'm sure I could go to the shop down hte street and it would be appraised at no more than $50! Heh, I'm sorry, Kip, but I think that it's only fair for you to sell this thing to me for around... say... $75?"She stared at him and waited for him to counter-offer.Mesmerize!</blockquote>
