What does Genesis 23:9 mean?

to sell me the cave of Machpelah at the edge of his field. I'll pay the full price in front of everyone, so I can have a place to bury my wife.' Genesis 23:9 - Modern Text Bible

(Abraham is clear and fair: he wants to buy a specific cave, pay full price, and do it publicly.)
