Hah. There was an estate sale in my neighborhood last summer. Quite a few tools in the garage that I was interested in but the prices were crazy. 30-50 year-old tools priced the same as brand-new. Even asking 50% off would be been too much for a lot of the stuff. I asked if they would take X for something and the guy said, "we're not doing any discounts, everything is as marked."
Walked back to my car shaking my head. Guess they didn't want to actually sell anything.
