#HBC – My “Deal”

October 7, 2008 by Amy

I have no idea where to start on telling the stories from this weekend so let’s just start with something fun.

Dani and I had headed out to shop while Heather napped Saturday evening.  We stopped by one of many street vendors who were selling a multitude of things.  This one table had a bunch of pictures from the city and these two pictures caught my eye.  I started staring intently at the guy’s stuff and of course he started making deals for me.

His sign said a 5×7 was $10 and the larger size (pictured above) was $20.  I was flipping through the smaller size and he says “Right now, $7!”  I continued to look, not sure which print I was interested in and he throws out, “For you right now, $6”.  Hmm, you guys know I love a deal!  “What about the larger print?” I ask.  He says $15.  I start looking at the two prints above trying to decide which to take.  The fall one would be nice.  I have a lot of red in my house and I LOVE trees.  But the other shows more of the city and I also have those blue and brown tones in my living room.

He gets them off the board and says “Both of them $20!”  Oh, half price!  I can’t make a decision on one and it sounds like a deal!  I’m in!  I hand him a $20 bill and I was off.  Dani and I continue across Broadway down 46th and head towards Park Ave to shop and wouldn’t you know the next block we pass has the same dern pictures and a sign for $1.99?

    Oh, and great images, anyway. The extra money you paid just makes for a fun story 🙂

    Isn’t that what PT Barnum meant when he said that there’s a sucker born every minute?
