$200 might just be a starting point. Here’s how to play it smart:

1. Approach with Genuine Curiosity

“Hey, what’s the story behind this piece?”
If it’s not rare or sentimental, you’ll have leverage.

2. Don’t Show Too Much Love

“It’s cool, but I’m on the fence. Wasn’t really planning to spend $200 today.”
Signal interest, not desperation.

3. Anchor Low, But Respectfully

“Would you do $80?”
Always offer less than you’re willing to pay. Let them counter.

4. Point Out the Street Factor

“If I’m carrying this home myself, I’ve gotta factor that in, y’know?”
You’re not in a gallery. This helps adjust expectations. If there are flaws or chips in the frame, you could mention that too.

5. Use the Walk-Away Test
Thank them and start walking. If they call you back, you’ve got room. If not? You saved $200.
