    Thanks for that i am sure she will try and haggle with them a little but was seeming not that bad a price as it's not like she would have the flexibility of a different island.

    Just wanted to double check.
    The prices on the island have gone up a bit and with the dollar rate the way it is, you kinda have to do AI. Wish it was for me but will tell her she wont get better and to squeeze abit more out of them if she can but if not go for it
