Sending an email trying to snake someone else is a scummy thing to do. The seller set the price, if he spent 10 minutes searching online he could have found out its value. $1000 might be a steal but who knows what kind of issues that game might have had (acid damage, waterlogged cabinet, corroded connectors, missing artwork,plastics, motors, etc) Just because the seller thought it was nice and worked completely does not make it so. The seller might have gotten the game for a few hundred bucks and would have been happy with 1000....I dont care if I get flamed for this, I think the op did a shitty thing trying to snake the deal.
