    Quoted from curban:

    Am I breaking buying etiquette?
    We have this nice feature called the pin map. Is it okay to look for local owners of a machine you’d like to buy and ask if they’re interested in selling. Or is this a major faux pas?
    Already started doing this...but will stop if this is a scumbag move.

    It's perfectly acceptable.

    What is super annoying is tracking people down out of the blue and ambushing them with a request to buy...and then complaining bitterly about the asking price.

    If you are hunting a game down and making unsolicited requests to purchase, don't expect the best deal.

    Quoted from alexanr1:

    Someone actually did that to you? Seems strange and maybe a very rare one off scenario.

    Yeah a guy heard a rumor I got a demo man, cold called me about buying it, and started bitching about my asking price “especially because I know what you paid for it.”

    I asked him to fuck off and never bother me again.
