I “won” in a drawing at a festival, but I suspect it was a scam. I want to know your thoughts.

It’s a race to the bottom. First time I went, I guessed the initial asking price. Started at 10 thousand. Got them to offer 750.... said I wouldn’t come back if they paid me to show up. Then they send you to a guy who gives you the card. He goes over the prices offered. You confirm. Then tell him you wouldn’t come back if they paid you...Anywhere. He acts like ur cheap. You take the gift card and leave the place listening to people regret their purchase because they couldn’t say no.

Also, always act like everything they say is wayyyy too expensive. My sales lady acted like you can’t get a used car for 10k. I told her I’d spend 250 on a used car. The prices dropped like Magic after that.
