because all you have to do is say nope to low.
you know that in Canada we are one of the few countrys in the world where we just pay what is asked.. in most of the other countries you are expected to deal and some places it is insulting if you don't try get a better deal. take the middle east for example, usaly you would offer about 1/2 of what they are asking.. they counter with "how am I going to feed my family for that amount" and come back with about 75%. then you tell them that is to much and offer about 65%. they may play again or accept it.. then they wrap it and have tea or some other drink with you. In greece it was grappa and you drink it even though I hated it
. the tea part is very important also don't refuse it or they get upset.
I know this is not the middel east or the med but whats the harm in asking? don't you try for a deal in the fish stores?
