I tend to specialize in mixte's and smaller frame sizes, and (coincidentally enough ) sell a lot of bikes to city girls and co-eds. On many occasions, I've actually had them squeal with delight upon laying their eyes on the bike for the first time. Really - squeals, while shifting from toe to toe Homer Simpson style and clapping their hands. Like they won something.

And they almost never, ever negotiate. They just hand the money over and walk away with the bike.
