The man goes on his way, and a block down, sees the same suit in a different store window. Price is $1800. But he gets an idea.

He enters the store and asks, “do you price match?”

“Yes, I own this store and I will not just match, but beat any competitor pricing.”

“Well your competition has that same suit priced at $100! So what would be your price for a size 44?”

“If I was out of stock, like my friend up the street, it would be $50.”
