  1. Buying and Selling

    Share Share Post
    Buying and selling were more or less on the same lines in old times as they are today.
    The seller asking a certain price which he knows he wont get, the buying offering a good deal less that the figure sought for them. The haggling goes on one advancing the other coming down until a bargain is eventually arrived at.
    Tim Healy met a Kerry farmer coming from Tralee fair or not the answer was "I didn't get what I expected nor I didn't expect I would."
