Almost in the middle stood a big kitchen table covered by a blanket. The salesman came in and climbed on to his stand. His assistants followed him in and took their places.
�Ladies and gentlemen, �the salesman said, �I have been informed to tell you that everything must be sold this afternoon. No price is too low or too high for anything, but a price I must have for everything. We are now ready to begin, and we do so with Lot Number One ��At this point two strong-looking men lifted on to the central table a large wooden chest. It seemed too big for a modern house.
What does "No price is too low or too high for anything, but a price I must have for everything" mean? Can you paraphrase it?
Thanks. |

It means, I have to sell everything, no matter what the price.
