  I had an identical experience with that vendor. I’ve been to 3 conventions he’s been at since I help a buddy of mine run a booth. I was interested in an NES Deluxe set he had, box was clean, but of course before committing to purchasing I wanted to check out the insides. Well it wasn’t fully complete with all the parts, games didn’t have their boxes, etc so I told him I’d have to pass. (He had it marked a few hundred above sold comps) and he wouldn’t leave me alone about it and made me feel like I was somehow the bad guy for backing out, when I was never committed to begin with. Then he comes up to our booth and offers 60% price charting on all our high end games, we tell him no, then he acts like he does us a favor by saying “yeah I won’t buy these I’ll let you make more money by selling them during the event.” Like yeah that wasn’t your choice buddy 😂 he’s unbelievable

  The saddest part about this is that you don't even have to show the vendors face, I know this vendor, I recognize the stuff they're selling. I've run into them several times in the past and their prices are soo ridiculous its stupid. They've got a couple of the N64 controllers I need to complete my set, one was double the pc price, the other $100 over pc. They also sold a buddy of mine a broken gba for $70, which was the negotiated price. He almost quit retro after that. At this point I just go to their booth to mock them.

  He wanted $150 for that game cause he probably "Invested" $120 into it for a quick flip

  I came across this guy during the convention. He kept talking to me about how he’s tired of people not buying “sh**” and wasting his time when they politely decline. Probably because his stuff was way over price charting prices. Dude made my family uncomfortable and I had to help them back out of convos with him because he kept trying to aggressively get them to buy an item from guilt. He was a straight up a hole.

  as the kids say "he did not pass the vibe check". 100% agree that haggling is a dance and you gotta know when the other person isnt feeling it. i walk away from those interactions every time

  Dude is probably a used car salesman outside of expos. When people get pushy I just walk, no need to give him my time

  Very nice of you to say you appreciate his offer and it&apos;s a nice deal. <br>I would&apos;ve just told him &quot;dude, I just said another booth got it for 120, why would I pay 130&quot;.

  I absolutely hate the greedy resellers, really are the plague of our hobby. Walking away was the right call. We cant encourage them to continue to rip people off.

  No way a bunch of people who can’t socialize came to socialize and it failed 😂

  I&apos;m a small local seller who does local meetups and shows to sell some of my video games and you can tell very quickly who is there to sell and enjoy themselves meeting new people and who&apos;s there just to make a quick buck. He was clearly only there for money and nothing else. <br><br>I personally love talking to people when they look at the games and other stuff I have for sale because it makes the time go quickly while we are both having fun talking about the stuff we love! Hell, I&apos;ve made so many friends from my local monthly meetup just from my selling and it&apos;s something I&apos;ll always enjoy! <br><br>I&apos;m also the type of person where if I find out someone else has a better price than me, I will always push for them to get theirs over mine if the condition is nicer or its too good to pass up! We are a community at the end of the day and I want people to get the most out of their money, especially with everything getting more and more pricey in 2024.

  Nick had the best metaphor. It is a dance when you haggle. Most of the time it&apos;s a junior high dance however. Personally, I just don&apos;t find it worth it half the time. But he nailed it. Vendor just looking to make a sale on Sunday.
