      I had a situation once at a anime convention where I tried to buy a real sword but the vender insulted me because he thought I go around and try to assault people. He pressured me into buying a fake one. I bought it but rarely use it.

      It felt like he was a UK shop owner to be honest in the UK if the price is labelled people ain't getting a discount from haggling. The haggling customer may even be viewed as the bad guy in the scenario why I rarely shop in person :/ Sorry you had a terrible experience 😢

    • @valak0284
      @valak0284 Před 23 dny

      Definitely had this happen a couple times. Vendors sometimes act like just because you ask to see an item you are already agreeing to buy it. If this guy kept pushing me like he did you, I would have just told him market price is about $100 and that's what I am looking to pay. He was way too aggressive knocking the price down repeatedly after you said you were passing on it. I find it best to move on from those people to find somewhere else to spend my money.

    • @retrofinds1

    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

    Nick had the best metaphor. It is a dance when you haggle. Most of the time it's a junior high dance however. Personally, I just don't find it worth it half the time. But he nailed it. Vendor just looking to make a sale on Sunday.

  • @Gee-Wiz
    @Gee-Wiz Před 24 dny +20

    I'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's there just to make a quick buck. He was clearly only there for money and nothing else.
    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've made so many friends from my local monthly meetup just from my selling and it's something I'll always enjoy!
    I'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.

  • @retroretro_
    @retroretro_ Před 21 dnem +14

    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.

  • @CaptainSherbertTheQuestionable

    I think the worse experience I have had with a convention seller was with artwork at anime expo in Los Angeles. I found some really cool looking sheet metal pieces. I saw one with the full evolution line for the polemon bulbasaur which I really likes and when I asked for it the vendor laughed in my face and asked me if I was serious. When I confirmed that it was what I wanted they went pale and instead of apologizing they tried to convince they weren't making fun of me. I was young and really wanted it so I bought it anyways but realistically I should've walked away. Especially since I moved not long after and it got ruined in transit anyways. Was such a waste.

  • @cicerothenekoknightplaysall

    As someone who used to work in a mom and pop game shop you can't be to pushy my boss used to offer deals to people if you were buy lots of games but if the customer didn't want it you don't be pushy because that can damage the business reputation of the store by seeing like we only care about sales , a lot of people came back because we had talked to them about games before buying them or gave recommendations based on what they were purchasing. If they didn't want to converse that was fine too. But me and my bosses were just a bunch of nerds who liked video games. So we tried to be as relatable as we could so people would be comfortable buying from us

  • @hm9821

  • @TimBrice7
    @TimBrice7 Před 23 dny +11

    Experienced something similar at MWGC. I was looking for the price on a Breath of Fire III and he tells me 130 and I was clearly disappointed but politely told him "okay that's more than I can spend at this time, thanks." He then offered $120 and I told him I appreciate it but I didn't have to cash for it. Well I take card he says and then he says you know some people don't know what that game is worth these days." I got angry at this point and said no thanks and walked away. I know the game is worth about half that! Everyone else does too and that's why he went home with it. I don't like telling small business people how to run things but don't insult my intelligence.

  • @Z_SquaredGaming
    @Z_SquaredGaming Před 23 dny +7

    One thing I notice about the vendor and the booth is that the boxes were completely full. I can only imagine that they didn't sell that much at that Expo. I think you said that this was the second or third day too. I also found it strange that every DS game was in a bag as well but not the Wii U games. I'm glad you stuck to your guns and did not give into the purchase. Like the store manager said, that vendor was all about the $$$$$. I have never sold at an Expo but I have done some local swaps. I usually have my prices under market value and then give discounts if people buy multiple games. Being friendly and open and honest helps in every transaction.

    I have experienced something similar to this before. This guy clearly just wanted the money and didn't care about anything else. He's a businessman, and I get that, but there is no reason really to be so aggressive. In my case, I ended up just walking away after politely turning down the sale and the guy even followed me for a bit dropping the price by $1 every 30 seconds or so. I literally had to turn around and just tell him I am not buying from him on principle at that point.

  • @MiamiGameHunter
    @MiamiGameHunter Před 11 dny +2

    There's a saying about gamehunting at conventions: "The first day is quality, the last day is quantity." It's a gamble: if there's something you want, do you buy it right away at a higher price, or try waiting until the last day when you can probably negotiate for a lower price, but at the risk that someone else might buy it on a earlier day? But with guys like that, their stock wont shrink much. And that's on him.

  • @RetroQuest-tz3ru
    @RetroQuest-tz3ru Před 7 dny

    I learned from working at a pawn shop in college that when the price is high enough that you already know they won't be able to meet your price then just politely tell them you're not interested, which I think you did. If they continue to pressure you then just tell them you are looking for it for much cheaper and wouldn't want to offend them with the offer. At that point some people still want to know so just tell them how much you're wanting to get it for. Usually they just laugh and you give them the courtesy laugh of, "see, told ya." Some people will still get upset, and honestly just knowing that you can only control your own actions is the best view point to have. You have no obligation to purchase from someone and shouldn't feel bad because of someone else's actions. Sometimes they can surprise you and accept your offer.

    I've never been to an expo, but I've had some experience in dealing with video game vendors.
    Sometimes you can't pick the personality of who the vendor is.
    All you can do is decide if you wish to negotiate, then figure out what is best for you in the end.
    Buy it now...or just wait . That's all you can do in the end guys.
    Thanks again for the video.

  • @TheJohnny346
    @TheJohnny346 Před 24 dny +4

    I think there are times where you have to walk away immediately if the price is too high. If there’s a high value title, know what the value is before you get a chance to look at it and if it’s too high just cut the cord immediately that you don’t want it. If it’s a $100 game and you’re seeing a $150 price tag there’s literally no reason to start any negotiation as the seller is more than likely too far in price to care about dropping it that much lower. I’ve never, in the past however many years of collecting, been able to convince any seller to drop their price to price charting levels if they’re already asking 30-40%+ what price charting has a game listed at, it’s a losing battle no matter what.

    • @JRPGLife
      @JRPGLife  Před 24 dny

      I completely agree. When I come across a booth and I see items way above market value (happens at every convention, don't know how these people make money), I immediately skip the whole thing. But I understand it might be different if you are really are set on getting a rare item.

    Lots of cool stuff , seeing all the mega man in the boxes , I have all mine , but no boxes but I have the manuals and papers. It's annoying when you try to leave and someone keeps trying to get you to buy. I was at a comic book show , a guy had the book I wanted. But when I was waiting to pay , a buddy of his came up and he wrote the phone number on a piece of paper on top of the comic I wanted. It was in a bag , but it impressed into the comic. I told him I didn't want it , and he kept trying to get me to pay for something he ruined, which is what I told him.

    That seller sucked tbh. He’s just got no passion for what he does. How does he not realize he’s being weird and making it weird for you guys. I was at a card expo a little while ago & I found a booth that had WWE autograph photos & I asked for a Jeff hardy auto, & he pulls out 2-3 different ones but they were all from more modern photos, just stuff that didn’t connect with me. I wanted to find something from the early 2000s for that nostalgia! & I let him know how I was feeling & he goes “don’t even worry man, I totally understand, I want you to leave with something you’re genuinely happy with bc the sale means nothing to me” & he didn’t even try to give a better price on the photos he had. That was the type of interaction I walked away from and was happy. More people need to be like that. These sellers need to understand they’re part of a “niche” hobby & reputation is everything. Can’t be a pushy sour salesman.

Went to one seller and we got talking and somehow I got a thirty percent discount on games that were already sold under market value, I didn't even ask for a discount. He just gave it to me because we had a good conversation.

    Everyone’s different & this seller is no exception & sometimes it’s good to see to your minds eye what bad is so you can appreciate the good, the best way to deal with hard sellers is to offer a low ball offer the Wizard of oZ for example say you offer him $75 then it would probably be a firm no & you get to walk away, or he says yes & you get a great deal.

    There's always people like him aggressively trying to sell their overpriced items in the collector's world--be it retro games, comics, toys, etc...
    But just remember that they need you more than you need them. Which is why they're so aggressive in their tactics and probably also hasn't sold much either (gee, I wonder why...). They def like to take advantage of people who are trying to be nice as if it's a sign of weakness. Nicely done getting away and bringing this up for discussion. 👏 As you can see in the comments, this is all too relatable.

  • @Fizggig
    @Fizggig Před 24 dny

    Unfortunately there are just alot of game store owners and resellers in general that are just like that. They don't play video games really they only see it as money. I really don't like that at all. Like ok if you are only in it for the money at least work with your customers. I'm a reseller I resell everything and I do resell video games. I get the dance you should be able to negotiate. Also I don't think most people really understand that just because on ebay it says the game is 145 plus a $5 shipping that means it's worth $150. Remember there are fees and shipping that should be taken consideration that "150" game is really actually worth "125" that's why going lower on some of the games just means they are removing the fees and pricing at what it costs not really saving money. Idk I would feel the same way but you guys were respectful and did exactly what I would have done. I would show the dude the prices or say what I'm seeing for that game but that does tend to get people all mad. Like so are you saying I'm not pricing things right? At that point it's best to walk away I'm sure you guys will find it again

    I buy games and stuff and the only time I sell is if I REALLY need to. Otherwise, re-selling is a no go for me. I would rather wait on a deal using both price charting and ebay to find an average between both cause price charting doesn't always have up to daye information or mixes it between loose or a different language game in the CIB filter and marks it wrong.
