Travis was a woodworker who lived near the mystical forest of Craigslist. Craigslist was a beautiful but treacherous forest however it was also one of the primary sources for gloats which are highly prized by woodworkers. One beautiful day Travis, armed with cash and protected by knowledge and wisdom from his fellow woodworkers, decided to brave the dangers Craigslist and went hunting for gloats.
After wondering through the twisty paths for some time, Travis came upon Baby Bear who had a large collection of universal string trimmer attachments made by Ryobi. The bear wanted to sell all of the attachments at the same time but Travis couldn’t afford them all and really only needed the edger. After some discussion the bear offered to sell Travis the edger attachment alone for $25 and the price was just right.
Travis left Baby Bear and soon came to a clearing where Mamma Bear was cleaning out her garage. She had just purchased a brand new air compressor and no longer needed the 2HP Craftsman that had served her for so long and was selling it for $125. Despite its age Travis knew it had a lot of life left in it as an North Carolina Woodworker friend of his had the same trusty model. He offered $100 and Mamma Bear agreed the price was just right.
Earlier in the day, before he had met the other Bears, Travis had briefly spoken with Papa bear. Papa bear had a 20 inch DeWalt Scroll Saw for sale for $250. It was an older type 1 model that had a bit of minor wear and tear but was in good working condition. Travis asked about the saw but Papa Bear had told him that several other woodworkers had already asked about the saw and were on their way to look at it. As Travis was on his way out of the forest with his edger attachment and air compressor he again passed Papa Bear who still had his Saw. Papa Bear said “The others never showed up! The saw is still available and the price is negotiable.” Travis replied “I’m still interested and I appreciate your willingness to negotiate as times are tough. What is your best price?” Much to Travis’ amazement and surprise Papa Bear replied “How about $100?” After recovering from shock Travis quickly agreed that the price was JUST RIGHT.
