And that boxcar was probably a steal at $20.
I despise people being cheap. When I sell items they are always priced a bit below what they are going for on ebay. Probably why I rarely have a problem selling items. Those rare times I don't is probably due to there being a limited market and none of those buyers happen to pass by. There's a fine line between asking politely if a price is your best price and being rude when asking but we all recognize when it's rude. I probably would have responded to your buyer with "no I won't because I'm having too good a time annoying you".
Personally, I'll just ask nicely if the price listed is the best price. If I'm asking it's because I want to buy it and the price listed is attractive to me. 9 out of 10 times if the price listed is the best price I end up buying the item.
