Line Time: Just Give Her Half Your Stuff Now …

A male customer is checking out engagement rings and is balking at the prices. He says he thinks he can get a better price on the kind of diamond he wants on the world’s biggest auction website.

You say:

“You’d make one of the most important purchases of your life on eBay? You’re going to tell her that you bought the symbol of your love on eBay? Just give her half your stuff now, man …”

Why? This is a humorous way to hammer home the very important message that romance is a big part of the engagement ring-buying process.
