The ES-175 is worth $5000, and the ES-150 is worth $2500. Bob, who is also a novice collector of vintage guitars, comes to inspect the guitar, and exclaims: 'Wow, I'd love to have an ES-175; I'll give you $4000 for it.' Annabel, who has no idea about guitars, nor about their relative values, replies: 'If you say so, but I'll require cash. Bob, who bears a striking resemblance to a well-known reality TV star, says: 'I am a bit short of cash today, but don't you realise who I am?' Annabel replies: 'Of course I recognise you.
