Me: How much for these sandals?
Trader: 2,000.
Me: I think that is too much. They are very thin. They will wear out quickly.
Trader: For me, yes, they would wear out quickly because I am always walking around the market. But for you, you just go from your car to your house, car to house, car to house, so they will last a long time.
