You

I'm interested in this leather bag. It looks handmade. What's the story behind it?

我对这个皮包感兴趣。看起来是手工的。有什么故事吗?

Good eye! It's a handcrafted leather messenger bag from the 1960s. It used to belong to a college professor. The leather has aged beautifully — that patina is irreplaceable.

好眼力!这是1960年代手工制作的皮邮差包。以前是一位大学教授的。皮革老化得很漂亮——那种包浆是无法复制的。

You

It's beautiful. But I notice the strap has some wear. What are you asking?

很漂亮。但我注意到背带有些磨损。你要多少?

I'm asking $120. The strap can easily be repaired by a leather shop for about $20. Even with that, you're getting a bag that would cost $400 new at a boutique.

我要120美元。背带在皮具店大约20美元就能修好。即使加上这个,买一个新的精品店要卖400美元。

You

That's true, but I still need to pay for the repair. Would you consider $90, factoring in the strap condition?

说得对,但我还得付修理费。考虑到背带的状况,90美元可以吗?

I appreciate the offer, but $90 is a bit low for a vintage piece like this. I could do $105 — that's my best price. I've had two other people interested today.

感谢还价,但90美元对这样的古董件来说有点低了。105美元——这是我的最低价了。今天已经有两个人问了。

You

How about $100 even? I'll pay cash right now.

100美元整怎么样?我现在付现金。

Cash is king at a flea market! You know what, $100 works. You've got yourself a deal.

跳蚤市场现金就是王道!好吧,100美元成交。

You

Thank you! Can I get a receipt in case I ever want to resell it?

谢谢!可以开个收据吗?万一以后想转卖。

Sure, I'll write you one with a description and the price. Smart thinking — vintage leather only goes up in value. Enjoy it!

当然,我给你写一张,注明描述和价格。聪明——古董皮具只会升值。好好享受吧!
