A man in a car, dressed in a suit, asked for directions to the airport (Gardermoen). He then told me he was a salesman, and had been at a fashion show, where he showed these jackets (branded R.G.A Reportage).

He then, surprisingly enough tried to sell me three jackets. He told me how much their retail prize was (which was a lot, but not completely unreasonable if it really was the latest model of some well-known brand (what do I know...)).

He then offered to sell all of them to me for NKR 4000 (USD 615). He "proved" that they were leather, by using a lighter, and showed me his passport and plane ticket, and repeatedly asked for how long it would take to drive to the airport.

I told him the offer wasn't bad, but I had no use for three jackets. He then proceeded to lower the price to NKR 2000. At this point the deal seemed really attractive, but I still didn't need 3 jackets. I offered 800 for one jacket, and after some more haggling, he agreed (For some reason he absolutely insisted that he wanted to sell 3 jackets, even though my offer was better...)

The jacket seems fine, as is the price. Only thing I don't like is that this site was the first hit on google, when I tried to find out what kind of company R.G.A is, or if anyone else have heard about their "Reportage" line of jackets.
