I love to rummage through tarnished, twisted old gaudy jewelry at flea markets. & when I saw this locket I wanted it. I had to have it! There was a small white tag attached to the clasp with "locket $20" written in blue ink. I loved it, but not for that price or even near that price. The woman was packing up her table, always a great sign for deal making, & as I attempted to untangle the locket chain from two other necklaces it was intertwined with I asked if she'd take 5 bucks for it. Imagine the smile on my face when she said yes....
Next on the flea market find list is a fish bowl. The woman was asking three bucks, she settled on two. We had clear glass balls and colored glass blocks at home packed away from a previous tank I'd had years ago...dug them out & for under $10 we purchased a fish, food and plant. Lyla had wanted a Goldfish, but we were advised they're better off in larger tanks with filters..dirty little buggers. Lyla's first fish is a male Betta named, Hanger Branch Girl. The "girl" means he's not a boy anymore.

Good job negotiating. Another example that it can't hurt to ask!
