El rescatador regatón suele engañar en lo que vende; pide más de lo que puede valer lo que vende, y es muy porfiado, y recatea en gran manera.
\nEl que vende mantas tiene por oficio que compra junto para vender por menudo. El que sabe bien vender las mantas no usa algún fraude, sino que en vendellas es recto o justo, y en su oficio muy sosegado y convenible y véndelas a justo y a moderado precio. Y las mantas que vende son las que son buenas, nuevas, recias, fornidas y delgadas, o ralas como toca, lisas y de tela igual, anchas y largas. El que es mal tratante en esto, es de mala conciencia, engañador y mentiroso, y alaba su mercaduría de mantas con palabras bien compuestas. Recatea mucho, disminuyendo el precio que pagan los comprantes.
