It is nothing, it is nothing, says the buyer: but when he is gone his way, then he boasts.
All Commentaries on Proverbs 20:14 Go To Proverbs 20

Buyer. This is the common practice; yet it is not without exceptions. St. Augustine (Trin. xiii. 3.) observes, that the mountebank having promised to tell what every person had in his heart, many came to the theatre, when he told them that they all wished to buy cheap, and to sell dear. They all applauded the remark. (Calmet)
Septuagint is here defective. (Haydock)
