    Nobody wants to assume that he lowered the price for the kid? ….Anybody??

    No way a young kid today is not checking the pricing on the internet first.

    Well, I googled it and saw prices between 80 & 115 dollars, so I’m guessing Baldo is getting hosed.

    Are all the shop owners in Baldos area ripoff artists? His boss is also portrayed like this.

    I would think being a child of the Internet age Baldo would have some idea of the expected price of something he’s had his eye on. But the situation here does seem ripe for assuming he’s getting jobbed. Plus, I looked up current prices for a Paasche double-action airbrush similar to the one I bought 30 years ago for $50, and it was $131 on their site. Plus the cost of a compressor of course – unless Baldo’s getting a kit that includes a compressor.

    From experience (nail tech) some of those kits can cost as much as $300 or more depending what comes in the kit.

    Not everyone is a crooked businessman. I will give this guy kudos for lowering the price. I run a business myself and contrary to my partner’s wishes, I don’t try to rip people off.

    Maybe it’s something the salesman was trying to get rid of at most any price.

    I was actually wondering more about how he plans on using it. I don’t think we’ve been exposed to his ‘creative’ side as yet.

    My wife once had visions of living in a Mongolian jail because a craft seller came down on the price of a carved ibex horn to the $20 I had on hand. When we went to fly out of Ulan Bataar, the junior customs agent who had scanned our luggage looking for contraband fossils didn’t know that ibex aren’t an endangered species, somehow attached Kathy’s name to my luggage, and dragged her down to the office talking about $25 and confiscation (so Kathy took my wallet with her). A long conversation (in Mongolian) between the agent and her supervisor set her straight, and Kathy was freed (after repacking the horn). It was only afterwards we realized that for long-forgotten reasons Kathy was wearing both of our passports; by taking my wallet, she had left me with no ID or financial instruments.

    I’d like to think that that guy is on the up-and-up, but I for one would immediately become suspicious if I asked what something costs and receive that kind of reply.
