Flea Market conversation		 I am not sure what he is buying at a flea market but I hear strawberry　いちご

１０００えん 　1000yen、いろいろあるよ I have various (items)。　めかた (selling by weight)。　

いっぱい　かったら if you buy a lot、もっと more (he means if you buy a lot, it gets cheaper) 、

たとえばね for example、こういうかんじで like this (showing him an amount)、　りょう　いっぱい　いれてね by putting a lot of amount 。みててね please keep watching (みていて ください is the structure.  い in  いて(te form of  いる、います) often gets dropped in the conversation.)。　

これで　with this/by this、　ふつうはね regularly speaking、３５００えんします It costs 3500 yen。　これで with this much。　ね right (asking for understanding/ empathy)？　

でも but、もし if、かってくれるんなら  if (you) buy (the structure is : If you give me a favor of buying かってくれる　＋　なら　Conditional)、サービスで  by service/discount　２０００えんに しときます I will make it 2000 yen。 (しておきます is the structure.  てお it shortened into  と in the conversation.)

１５００えん　おまけ 15000 en is discounted。　

(After a student asking for less amount, a man says)  これで with this　１０００えんで　いいです  1000 yen is fine。　おまけ discount/service。　１４００えんだけど...、(regular) it is 1400 yen, though.         (A student is paying now)　おまけ。サービス discount/service。。

こまかいの or　ちいさいの ないですか。Don't you have a small one?  ( They are asking for smaller bills.) 　もうすこし？ (Will you buy) a little more?　  あと１０００えん (Will you buy) 1000 yen more？

おおきに Kansai dialect for ありがとう

Note: Let's have small bills at flea market unless you are paying a lot.  A Japanese vendor does not jack up price just because you are a foreign tourist.  Enjoy asking for discount/ extra discount service おまけ but do not push them too hard like my mother does...
