Toki

I received Toki today in the mail. It was in perfect condition and the envelope was covered in exotic stamps. Not bad for $5.50 with free shipping. This, like most of the other Nintendo Games I have here I got off of eBay using the www.videogamepriceguides.com website to find this and other incredible deals.

I've been going back and forth with a seller who is selling Operation Wolf and Cobra Command as a lot. She originally had the lot listed for $20 or best offer. I made an offer of $7 minutes before the auction ended but the seller never accepted it. Then a few days later I noticed it was listed again. So I made another offer. This time for $6.00.

If there is any advice that I've learned in life its that whether you're negotiating over price or principle if someone compromises once, they'll compromise twice. Such is the case with this lot. I've budged to $7.50, but they are still at $16.00. One of the strategies I've been using to get this person to come down is to point out that its not fun to have an auction end without a sale. Sure you can re-list an item, but is the time lost really worth a few bucks? Although the seller and I have gone back and forth a few times, I've decided to wait and to let the auction expire. I'll look to see if they've listed again and I'll start the whole process over. I know that unless someone else buys it, or they stop listing it, I will get it for $7.50.
