An old man is selling watermelons. His pricelist reads: 1 for $3, 3 for $10.
A young man stops by and asks to buy one watermelon. “That’d be 3 dollars”, says the old man.

The young man then buys another one, and another one, paying $3 for each.

As the young man is walking away, he turns around, grins, and says, “Hey old man, do you realize I just bought three watermelons for only $9? Maybe business is not your thing.”

The old man smiles and mumbles to himself, “People are funny. Every time they buy three watermelons instead of one, yet they keep trying to teach me how to do business…”

Nice!


Its just like bogo sales. You just bought something you're not going to use and throw away.

Good one, reminds me of everytime somebody tells me they just bought something at 0 percent interest rate and thinks the price wasnt marked up

I worked with a fella whose wife was always telling him how much she had SAVED when she went shopping. One day he said "we're gonna have to build another room onto the house to keep all this money you're saving."

I love that!! Interesting marketing tactics, that work!

That gave me a good smile.

Good merchandising.
