Soooooooooo a guy at the flea market just said he doesn't want me to step foot in his booth again because I haggled a price with him.

I just shrugged, said "Okay" and left. He got PISSED. I hate it when sellers try to raise the price of stuff because it has more than one disc. He hadn't brought any new CDs / movies in like six months, this was the first thing I'd seen that was new there in all that time.

Well, whatever. No skin off my back. If he wants to lose a customer for good, it's his call.

Ha, that sounds like a waste of everyone's time.  Why ban you?  It's not as if that'd be teaching anyone else anything.  And it's a flea market.  People already associate booths at a flea market with haggling.  He's lucky that you kept coming around to look, but maybe he was annoyed that you've always looked buy never bought...?  Not your fault that he has crappy inventory...

There's one other guy that got angry at me about a month ago. I've been buying stuff from his (I assume) wife for years - games, music, movies - but sometimes they don't bring anything so I don't buy anything. Despite that I -always- say hi to her when I pass by because she's nice to me even if I don't buy anything.

But he got pissed off and called me out for not buying anything. I only said that I don't buy stuff all the time. It's not their fault, it's just what shows up. He didn't say anything but he always glares at me when I pass their booth. :P

I've only been "thrown out" twice. This time and another time when a guy tried to convince me that a DVD collection of Vin Diesel's Riddick films was worth $50. Of course, that time I laughed my ass off in his face, but...

Sounds like a douche to me.

There's a store around here that did that to me, too. I spent time in there nearly weekly buying and selling items to them. They got annoyed because I knew what I was talking about. The last time I tried to sell them a TurboGrafx-16, and they're all like, "I'll give you $10." So I'm tell them that at the cheapest, these things go for around $75 online in working condition. And I'm selling them games and accessories with it, too. They try the line, "Well, it's just not in demand." I too laughed in their faces, then I was told not to come back.

Next time maybe you shouldn't try to haggle with the seller. Where did you think you were some kind of flea market?!

Can't wait for the new Tales game even though I'll have symphonia HD and Xillia 2 to go through.
