counter.

How much? ( I was thinking maybe $40 )

Well, on Ebay, they go for $100.  But I'm only asking $99!  And you 
won't have to
    pay shipping or sales tax!

He followed me for a few steps as I left, trying to convince me.

As often happens, I thought of what to say afterwards:

If I'm on Ebay looking at an MFJ frequency counter, it's probably 
because I'm specifically
looking FOR an MFJ frequency counter.  In that case, the $100 is 
possibly reasonable.  At the flea
market OTOH, I'm not looking for a specific item - just for anything 
that hits my fancy.  It probably takes a lower price to "hit my fancy" 
than if I'm specifically looking.
