You're a harder man than I if you can come back from Egypt
without a papyrus picture. As they are so common, don't be drawn
into the buying them in the first place you see and always make
an offer - especially if you are buying more than one. Don't be
afraid of offering a silly price to begin with, at least it
shows you have an interest and try and keep it good natured -
it's not a game you HAVE to win. If the price doesn't come to
what you want, then walk away - there's always plenty of other
vendors.
