My aunt's idea of bargaining...

My aunt bargains in reverse.

I offered to repair her gutted laptop and purchase it from her.

Me: "I can fix your old laptop, but I need to buy a disk with Windows 7. So fair market value, minus the cost of Win7."

My Aunt: "Oh, I'll just give it to you. I've already replaced it."

Me: "Don't be ridiculous."

My Aunt: "Well, then just give me twenty-five or fifty dollars."

Me: "It's a laptop."

Eventually she bargained me down to seventy-five. No, really. On a $300 laptop. I'm renegotiating the price considering I found my Win7 disc so now don't have to buy it.

I'm probably the only person who's had to raise their own rent.
