What are "it's worth every penny" and "That's an outstanding piece of.."?
Dear all.
I've listened the following conversation. I havn't understood two sentences. They are "That's an outstanding piece of Depression glass " and "It's worth every penny.". If somebody knows, please help me.
I'm waiting for your reply.
Your sincerely

Lynn Bunker is at a flea market in a small Connecticut town. She's just seen a glass bowl at one of the stands. She collects American glass objects made during the 1930s. She's interested in buying the bowl.

Lynn: Excuse me. How much do you want for this bowl?
Stand owner: Let's see. Hmm.... That's an outstanding piece of Depression glass - in perfect shape. It's worth 150 bucks.
Lynn: A hundred and fifty dollars! Oh, I couldn't possibly pay that much. It's a shame. It really is nice.
Owner: Hold on, lady. I said it was worth 150 bucks. I'm only asking $115.
Lynn: A hundred and fifteen dollars?
Owner: Yeah, it's a real bargain!
Lynn: Oh, I'm sure it is. But I can't afford that.
Owner: Well, look. Tell you what I'll do. I'll make it an even $100. I can't go any lower than that.
Lynn: I'll give you $65.
Owner: Sixty-five! Come on, lady. You've got to be kidding. I paid more than that for it myself. Take it for $90. It's worth every penny.
Lynn: Well, maybe I could give you $75.
Owner: Eighty-five. That's my final price.
Lynn: Eighty.
Owner: Make it $83.
Lynn: OK. Eighty-three.
Owner: Let me wrap it up for you. There you are, lady - a real bargain.
Lynn: Yeah, thanks a lot.
