I recently put in an ad for a PS2 and 6 games for $150 obo on the recycler site. If you dont know this is a free online classified. Well this one guy calls with pretty bad english wanting to buy it. He sounds like he just has to have it and wants to pick it up right away which I couldn't cause I was still at work. We both agreed on $130 for the price on the phone.

So at 5pm he calls and comes over. First he starts bitching about the ad saying 2 controllers included. I only have 1 controller so how the hell would I put down as having 2. Then he starts complaining that 4 of the 6 games are old and wants $10 off but keep them anyways. He say he could get them used for $5 each. So I tell him that we already agreed to $130 on the phone and now you want $120? He then pulls the well I only brought $120. I'm pissed now so I tell him $130 or nothing. I know he has that $10 in his wallet but not wanting to look like a fool he leaves. Even if he comes back with $130 I won't sell.

IF he didnt know till he got to you that the games were old and it was only one controller why would he only bring $120?

I listed only 1 controller as I only have 1. I even listed all the games in the ad as well. The point is that we agreed to $130 prior and now he comes making all these BS excuses.
 
Yea, I hate that. I sold a new 4G Ipod once, we agreed on $230 (or something to that effect). We agreed to meet up. When we met up, he tried to open it with his stubby fingers for a good 2 minutes but couldn't open it. Then he told me that he only had $170 and wanted it for that price.

Needless to say I stopped him right there. Then I toastedspammed his account.
 
this is why ebay works.
and also, FS/FT here works great too, i don't see many hagglers unless I explicitly posted $xxx.xx OBO, then I expect them to negotiate...
 
I had the same thing happen to me when I sold a monitor. I had posted the price VERY clearly, knocked $20 off of it over the phone, and he showed up and wanted $50 off, "like we had agreed."
