Ok.  Something should prevent me from walking in and making a series of offers
with tests between them to see if you've bitten, and always finding your min
price.  The obvious something is that buying is different from haggling - offering
below the advertised price.  Haggling should take some time.  So I can haggle
as much as I want (to get the best price) but it will cost me in time.
