Hi Vanny

I called in today with a candle snuffer/wick trimmer and you gave me a valuation - would you be willing to give me a straight swap for the doll's pram?

Hi STRAIGHT SWAP.
It was nice to see you yesterday. I hoped you all enjoyed your lunch.
all the best

Dear John
That was not the answer I was looking for?

Hi,
The pramb cost me £60
I sell to you at £80
It is worth £160
Worth twice as much as what I am selling it at.


Your Snuffer cost nil
You sell at at half of worth =£20
Its worth is £40
You pay me £60 I make no money just a snuffer
I give you a pram worth £160 and all it's cost you is the same as it cost me £60

now that is the vanglish way of doing things.

The Antique man would want £160 and allow you £50 for the snuffer

Now you have totally lost me - and I've lost the pram! Maybe I'll call in and we can chat about it; it's my husband who really wants the pram for his grand-daughter! See you some time next week - if we can dig our way out of the snow?
