Having lived in Bali for 5 years, I can attest: logic, sense, and rationality are not the norm there. Lol.
Interesting that you were able to uncover the reason for the dilemma, though. :-)

There were sooo many things I figured out later. Like how I was basically cussing out the mob one day for what I considered atrociously unprofessional customer service. (Yeah, didn't realize they were the mob at that time.) Times I negotiated a little too hard and walked away paying so little I felt guilty, but the other person not feeling they could save face by letting me increase my offer price once I realized they were too desperate not to accept even a below cost offer. And on and on. So much learning among such simple people.
