It's no negotiation 'game' i'm playing, but as everyone knows, you never open up negotiations by starting with your highest price, just doesn't make much sense.

I buy everything that way. I offer what I'm willing to pay. If the guy wants more I walk. I don't have the time to invest in "serious negotiations".
In any case it seems that you are not impressed with this machine. I'd love to own it myself, but if you're after something different, then just keep shopping. If you were bored with it after 15 minutes, chances are pretty good that it will end up in your garage gathering dust before too long anyway.

Yeah, you are right about that, i shouldn't buy it unless i truly love it...i'll most likely just forget about it unless i can get it for a deal that i just can't refuse.

2PacMan:
I defined a negotiation....in no where did the word 'game' come into play.
Negotiation is the way people agree on a price. This guy is not a retail store, he doesn't have his games with firm price tags on them in his garage. He wanted to know what i was willing to pay, he tells me what he was hoping to get for it. Since he knows nothing about arcades, i expained to him the problems with the game and now he is reconsidering his asking price, if he can point out some good qualities of the game, and some things that i did not originally think of, etc, he might be able to get me to rethink my buying price, hopefully we can meet somewhere in the middle. That's a negotiation, it's not a game, it's a way to do business.
If you never negotiate on your buying prices, i'm sure you've been screwed numerous times. You probably could have got many games at a much lower price, but since you always walk into a deal with your highest buying price on the table from the get go, sellers probably jump at the chance to sell to you, i know i would. How silly does that sound, you walk into a place and say "i'll give you a 1,000.00 for this pacman and not a dollar less, no, don't try to talk me out of it, this is my highest buying price". ;D
ChadTower:
Negotiation is a game.
Making a solid offer that you are willing to pay, and either buying or not buying on acceptance or rejection, is not a game.
