long ago I read a mythical tale of 2 "pickers" who were friends, lets call them dave and bill
they have a code, if one is interested in an item, the other does not get involved in the dickering.
well on this particular day they went to a yard sale and dave found a roy rodgers set,(or somethign even more valuable) in the box with all the little items Dave found it first, and knows very well that bill is into this stuff but decides to carry it around the sale just to piss off bill.
then comes the dickering, and Dave offers 10 for it, Bill is really steamed now."Ill give you fifty!"
but Dave is now really mad-"200!" so the women selling the set was just blown away at this behavior and takes the 200.
the guys continue life being mad at each other and try to get at each other buying stuff the other was into.
had a weird ending involving them making peace and a spaceship.
that story is still floating around on a forum somewhere-
