Something similar like that happened to me. I was at a mall in Raleigh North Carolina and this foreign young man at a kiosk tried to get me to buy some night facial lotion. I kept trying to walk away while he kept talking very fast, trying to sell me the $200 bottle of lotion. When I laughed and said no thank you, he beckoned me closer and showed me a box that he had pulled out from a cabinet in the little kiosk. There was a little tear in one of the corners of the box and he offered to sell me the lotion for $30 since the box was damaged. He became quite furious with me when I told him that the box was worth more than the lotion and again, no thank you.
“he offered to sell me the lotion for $30 since the box was damaged”

Wow !
I hope you took advantage of the wonderful bargain. :-)

Perfect response: “The box is worth more than the lotion!”
Watch the steam come out of his ears as you walk away giggling.
