An example are the stores in tourist areas of New York City that sell trinkets and electronics. You ask them how much it is, and if you say "sorry, too high" they keep trying to lure you in with a lower price.
(In a Times Square shop)
"How much is that camera?"
"$99."
"Nah, you know that's too much..."
"For you, my friend, $90"
"No, I'm leaving."
"$80?"
"Damn rug merchant..."
