Ok, I'm not trying to sound like a racist pig when I ask this so I apologize in advance if I do. I've been running a garage sale for the past week, and I live in a very multiracial area so I've had all sorts of people come by. I've been selling a lot of furniture so a lot of people have had to leave and come back later after going to the bank, getting a trailer, etc. before they can get what they want. Now whenever a white person or black person has said "I'll be back at X time to pick it up," they have shown back up, and if an item was too expensive for them and I wouldn't come down they'd just say "Sorry, not interested." However, on three ocassions I've had a Hispanic person try to barter me down lower than I was willing to go and then they would say "I'll come back later" and usually "I have to go to the bank" and yet they never show back up. I even had one couple tell me that they would go to bank and be right back on a Sunday afternoon while the bank was closed. I don't understand this. Why not just say it's higher than they are willing to pay and leave it at that? Or else, why not just say nothing and leave? It's a garage sale. That kind of thing happens all the time. Maybe I'm reading too much into a coincidence, but it did strike me as odd.
