So here's a flea market story for you guys. First, let me say that I don't tell people when I think their stuff is overpriced - I think that's bad form. They figure it out I assume when I thank them & walk away. If they're just a little higher than what I think is fair I'll make them an offer, when they're WAY high (some guy today told me $60 for an old-style NES that looked very beat up) I don't even bother because if their price is that far off from mine I figure my offer will just insult them. Again, they'll figure it out when no one buys it for that price.
Anyway, I walk up to a booth that was mostly odds & ends but I did see a ps1 system & a few rough-looking games in a stack, so I'm glancing over them. The games are PS2, oddly enough, and nothing even remotely interesting. I was about to just walk on when he starts trying to sell me on the ps1, telling me about the controllers/cables/etc. that it comes with and how he'll make me a good deal on it. I tell him I don't need another one, I have 2 now - I just bought a second one a couple weeks ago at a yard sale. He asks me what I paid for it, so I tell him - $5 (technically it was $4 because it didn't include a controller, but I amazingly stumbled across a used ps1 controller at Gamestop of all places for $1 the next day so I just call it $5). He laughs and goes "He didn't know what he had!" I pause, that kinda struck me funny and again, this guy initiated the price discussion not me. So I stop (I was walking away) and replied "No, I thought that was about average." He then takes this "you don't know what you're talking about, *I* do" tone and goes "No, I'd have to have AT LEAST $30 for mine!". It took everything in me to swallow the *very* sarcastic "well good luck with THAT!" that was on my tongue, and instead I just walked away.
