Not a real good comparison. First, shoes don't usually set you back
several thousand dollars. Nothing wrong with taking time to compare
models and making the informed decision that is right for you.
Second, If both are working on commission, the car salesman's payday
for the sale should be much greater, hence he/she should have a little
patience and will likely work harder for the sale.

Sales people want signatures on the bill of sale, and they have little time
for what they consider to be Sunday afternoon time wasters..ok, so the guy
lost a sale that time, but no doubt a sucker would come along within minutes
and do a deal with him.. remember that it is said that a sucker is born
every second..

Yes, 'aint that the truth. The mitsu I'm buying is R300 000.00 (about US$46
000.00), about the same price as a house in many areas. And the second hand
market is overpriced too.

what is the income diff for a pharmacist between south africa and the
u.s.a. and is it worth staying there?

I think standard salaries for pharmacists are better in the USA than in
South Africa. In SA, a pharmacist earns between US$20 000.00 - US$40 000 per
year. A new 4x4 costs US$45 000, and most 2 bedroomed houses cost from US$45
000 - US$100 000 on average.

And yes, Cape Town is the most beautiful place on the planet!
