It would be considerably more convincing to buy a pair of sunglasses for $5 rather than 40 kaui. 40 sounds like so much, and as you get so acclimated to the value of the currency in China that 40 is worth excessive relative to other goods and services. But if they start out saying $10 and negotiate down from there then it sounds like a better value out the gates. I need to get into sales...
