I'd hardly call a lot containing some of the best action/platformers & RPG's for Genesis "junk".

But fine... go ahead and call me a clown, and I'll call you what you are: a douche.

You could have told me you didn't want the sports games and I might have actually sold you the rest for cheaper, but you decided to lowball me instead and piss me off.

Probably because the person that will end up buying the lot hasn't seen the post yet.

Just a guess.

If the post has sat over a week, you'd be a fool to pay the seller's asking price. Simple negotiation ethics, if an item sits too long then you offer under the price because the seller will be eager to move the items.

$50 may be perceived as a lowball, but it is all in a matter of how it is presented.

You could send a message like "$50, final offer" and the seller will probably ignore you cause that's a lowball. Or you could send a message like "Hey bud, I noticed you had difficulties selling your games. Unfortunately I'm not interested in all of the titles but I'd still offer $50 for the lot should you have problems finding a buyer. Just let me know, thanks."

And in that case the seller will probably at least discuss the items with you even if you can't reach a price.

I never let a seller tell me what I'm going to pay for a game. I tell them what I'm willing to pay. If it works out great, if not then I'm cool with waiting a few weeks or even months until I find the games I want at the price I'm willing to pay.

Of course rares are an exception, you usually pony up a seller's price or you may spend year(s) looking for the item to come up at auction and not BIN.

Exactly. And instead of doing that, when he first contacted me he told me he "liked the lot", and asked how low I would go on the price. I told him I'd knock it down to $75 (from $80) and also ship for free (the original asking price was sans shipping). Being that it's a large lot and will be expensive to ship, I thought that was more than fair.

He then replies he can only offer $50. Why ask how low I would go if you're only going to offer $50 anyway? It came off as extremely rude to me, not to mention a waste of time. He could've offered $50 from the start (by simply asking me if I would take $50 for it, instead of saying he can only do $50) and we could've gone from there.

This whole thing could've gone way better if the guy knew basic internet etiquette.

Negotiating tip, when someone asks you "What the lowest you can go?" don't give a number. They are doing it to see how quick you cave, you caved probably $15-$20 (shipping) immediately so he figured you'd come down even more.

When someone asks me that I tell them that I've had some interest in the items but they're still available and you are free to offer. Make them throw out the first number and you'll always be able to get them to come up from it.
