Collector: "How much is that poster?"
Gallery: "$5000.00"
Collector: "that's at least $1500.00 more than it ever sold anywhere. How did you come up with that price?"
Gallery: "take it or leave it..."

Gallery: "$24.00"
Collector: "WHAT?!? THAT'S DOUBLE WHAT IT SHOULD COST YOU TO PACK & SHIP IT.. YOU'RE RIPPING ME OFF FOR $12.00!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!"
