Quoted from JoeNewberry:I was trying to negotiate for a Williams Dealer's Choice and was told:
"You aren't going to low ball us, we know this is worth a lot of money."
My most hated phrase of all, and its many permutations, goes like this, "On American Pickers/Pawnstars/Storage Wars/Super Auction TV Reality Extravaganza/Etc., we saw a pinball machine valued at $10,000. You aren't going to trick us into letting this go for anything less than that."
I was trying, yet again, to get a Dealer's Choice. I asked if the seller could knock a little off the already too high price because we'd be traveling hundreds of miles to get the game. He informed me that he wouldn't subsidize anyone's travel and that he would have no problem selling his antique game for whatever price he wanted, with or without us.
I'd bet it's still sitting exactly where it was when you walked.
Price is a funny thing. The value of something is what the buyer and seller agree that it is. So there truly isn't a "too high" price if the game actually sells. Sure it causes us who don't want to pay what we consider overpriced for a game, but you have to consider that P.T. Barnum has been proven correct for ages.
