Haggling.. Gone Wrong.

[~Ğǿǿmy~]

So I've been haggling with the food shop in Neopia Central, and I've been haggling with the shopkeeper for a carrot that costs 1,856..

So my strategy was to give him half of what he wanted, then if he didn't accept, i would drop down to 1 NP (lol)

so this is how it went:

 

The Shopkeeper says 'Hmmm, no, im not going any lower than 4,040 Neopoints...'

 

The Shopkeeper says 'I wont take less than 9,107 Neopoints for it.'

 

The Shopkeeper says 'Hmmm, no, im not going any lower than 13,619 Neopoints...'

 

The Shopkeeper says 'Surely you would pay at least 21,545 Neopoints for this item?'

 

The Shopkeeper says 'I paid much more than 1 for this item... give me 32,000 and it's yours.'

 

The Shopkeeper says 'Tum de dum... Im not going to accept less than 47,999!'

 

The Shopkeeper says 'May your hair fall out and your tongue grow warts. Im not going lower than 73,005.'

 

The Shopkeeper says 'May your hair fall out and your tongue grow warts. Im not going lower than 108,013.'

 

The Shopkeeper says 'You are a very offensive person. I demand 162,478 Neopoints!!!!!'

 

The Shopkeeper says 'May your crops be devoured by locusts and your teeth rot. No less than 244,126!'

 

The Shopkeeper says 'What... 101,000... I have to make a living you know. What about 436,036?'

 

The Shopkeeper says 'May your ears turn purple and fall off! Pay me at least 739,055!'

 

The Shopkeeper says 'I did not become a shopkeeper to be insulted!! My final offer is 941,062!!'

 

The Shopkeeper says 'May your crops be devoured by locusts and your teeth rot. No less than 1,042,996!'

 

"RIGHT NOW I'M REALLY ANNOYED. BEGONE. DON'T COME BACK!"

 

ALL THIS FOR A CARROT. from 1,856 to 1,042,996............. Yeah Carrots!

 

Share your bargaining horrors here!

Hhahahahaha, I too have been expelled from a shop before for annoying the shopkeeper! :P I just didn't know they could increase their asking price :whaa:

[Ruto]

Haha, I wasn't aware the shopkeeper could get so riled up from haggling too much!

 

"GUARDS! GUARDS! GET THIS ROGUE OUT OF MY SHOP!"

 

Went up to 300k for a piece of cheese.

[rntracy1]

Yes absolutely. I have gotten kicked out too. Then I went back in, clicked on an item and the shopkeeper said, "GET OUT OF MY SHOP!!!" Lol. I was like, "sheesh!"

[neyokoma]

That was Hilarious! Never thought about doing myself, Great laugh though

[Ashbash]

I've never seen anything like this before, I kind of want to try it now! That is truly awesome! Thanks for sharing. :)

[Novelista]

That's actually kind of scary. I never knew that could happen! O.o

 

Usually, if I don't get the item I want within two or three offers, I quit. Even when my offer is extremely reasonable, it seems like the shopkeeper doesn't want it, so I just give up.

 

Now I know why...:P

I've never seen anything like that but one time on half price day I was in a rush to get something and hit the wrong key and ended up paying more than the shopkeeper asked for :thumbsdown:

[MysteryAF]

So I tried this, and... umm... Well, just look:

 

 

...Whoops.

...Whoops.

Oh my god that's hilarious and terrible at the same time. Your poor bank account x_x

I overbid on an MVC when they were restocking (typed one too many numbers), and I was rejected (the shopkeeper said something like, "Woah, are you sure you want to pay that much?"), but when I typed in a "proper" bid, he raised the amount based on my 10-fold too high bid -- which obviously wasn't profitable. I had to sit out the rest of the restock, even though I should have snagged at least 2-3 MVCs. And the next restock was soon enough after, I missed that one, too, because he was still mispricing it.

 

But I didn't realize they would actually accept a ludicrous price if you bargained him up that high! I guess I'm glad I usually never have too many NP out of the bank! named, I'm sorry you lost all those NP testing whether it would work.

all that haggling finally paid off for that shopkeeper. O_O
