the one quotes at € 590.- ?? .... you saw listed at 60mil CFA in a shop

-non-negotiable ? it's a joke usually, the lack of bargaining is considered as insulting,
but I refuse even, to discuss if the merchant has incredible pretentions

- good price ... the one you may afford without to be fresh out of money
no official rate, just the game of offer/request

leave your heart talk to you, and forgot a little bite your reason

take in consideration the fact that it should be easy to found on the spot craftsmen (old peoples preferably) to refurbish the dommages
