Not getting the point !

Chap walks in..

"I have some books to sell you..."

"I'm sorry sir, we are closing down in a few weeks."

"But I want to sell you these books..."

"We are closing the shop down"

"wont you buy these before you go"

"we are closing down, I have 35,000 books - why would I want to buy some more"

"But I want to sell them"

"We are not buying sir"

"Well you are a second hand shop - you should buy them really"

I gave up at this point.
