No
Yes, Kino was fooled by the pearl buyers. They conspired with each other to give him a lower price for his valuable pearl, taking advantage of his lack of knowledge and desperation for a fair deal.
Kino was told by the pearl buyer that the pearls were worth very little and offered a much lower price than Kino expected. The buyer took advantage of Kino's lack of knowledge about the market value of the pearls, leading to Kino's dissatisfaction and realization of the harsh reality he faced.
The first pearl buyer offers Kino a small amount of money for his prized pearl, significantly less than its actual value.
It was not valuable.
The Pearl buyer tried to cheat Kino by offering him a much smaller amount of money than his pearl was actually worth. Considering it was the size of his palm he knew he was being cheated and left the building right away.
No because all the pearl buyer are working together to get the pearl for the lowest price but it is actually worth 50,000 pesos.
Kino's solution to selling the pearl at a fair price was to travel to the city and seek a buyer who would pay him what the pearl was worth. He believed that by going directly to the buyers, he could negotiate a fair deal without being taken advantage of by middlemen.
Steinbeck shows us that the pearl buyer is impressed by the size and beauty of the pearl by mentioning that he fumbles with his coin fiddling. It was mentioned that he was able to flip it around without thinking, so if he made a mistake he must be very surprised or impressed.
