I thought that one guy had a fauxhawk but now I think his head is shaped that way.

Nah I've already seen the bald spot he's desperately trying to hide. Same style the short guy with weird arms had the other year.

There's a certain amount of common sense involved here, but it's difficult to see how pricing antiques tests business acumen.

"Customers name their price" probably isn't a great strategy, ladies

Though on the other hand how the gently caress are they supposed to know what has value

Probably the only way to win this is to aim high to begin with and see how low you have to go before people buy it. None of them are going to know what any of it is really worth and the customers most likely won't either

Oh, and Jones was there too.

It's not hard to value antiques. Price everything on the carboot high, anything good will be nabbed by dealers, if possible never suggest a price, let them give you a price. There I've won the task. Anything marked you take to a dealer.

Valid point, but all this task really needs is a price list to at least make it about doing the best deal.

Sounds good, Karren, but I would think you hope the buyer would mention whether or not they had authority to buy, rather than asking every potential customer "Can I just check that you can actually buy this stuff?"
