"Well, you have to understand, I have 4 children.... and we have only one income... and the bills are so hard to pay. We really, really need this, but I can only spare $50. I know the price you are asking is almost twice that, but I can see just by looking at it that it has been collecting dust. So this works out for both of us. Actually, it works out two ways for you.... you get rid of this thing and free up space for other stuff, AND get $50 out of it."

And that was at a Canadian Tire.
did he get it?
