Bought a nice business suit at bargain price

Bought a nice business suit at bargain price

You walk in a showroom in a by-lane of your city, interested to buy a business suit for yourself. You select a suit and the salesman offers you to try.
You make up your mind to buy but you find the price tag is missing. You inquire the price from salesman, who in turn asks his elder brother who is at the other end of shop. The elder salesman shouts out $300, which you hear but the junior sales man, you discover is hard of hearing and repeats the price $200 which is lower than what you heard.
You pay immediately $200 and walk out from the shop thinking that you got a bargain and saved $100.
What do you think happened here?
