How to get people to buy goods at a market OR NOT

Ok so you are at a market.  Either you are the stall holder or a "buyer."  The stall holder sits and waits for a "buyer" to look at some of the merchandise.  The buyer slowly walks past or stops and looks and perhaps picks up the goods.  Either the stall holder sits back and wishes that the "buyer" would actually purchase something, or tries to engage the buyer in conversation.  This often results in the buyer retreating to a safe distance and looking from afar. It appears that all the goods are too dear, or they are cute, sweet and beautiful but remain unsold. Well I believe I have the solution.  When the buyer starts to look at the goods or picks them up the "seller" says, "No sorry they are not for sale."  The more the buyer wants to buy the more the seller says no sale.  If they argue long enough the buyers would be mad for the forbidden fruit.  I love it, a market where no-one can buy anything. It is perfect in every way but one, the stall holder makes no money.  It is sort of bite one's nose off to spite one's face. Another of my brilliant ideas of how not to make money.
