Just went to a Chruch sale where they had nothing but another model 1 Genesis for $35, when the guy saw me looking at it he said he'd throw the cords in for $5. I hate these people.
Another guy had about 7 or 8 comics, late 70s Action and Flash, nothing exceptional, and in terrible shape. I asked what he was asking for them anyways, I would have paid $1 for them all for some reading copies, and his response is "These are the valuable books featuring super heroes, I'll go $15 a piece but knock off 10 if you buy them all". Normally I'd just walk away, but I had to get a word in and told him that I sell at comic shows and they're all worthless, but I'd give him $1. For whatever reason that comment got him furious and he started screaming at me about how I buy them 'wholesale' and he sells them 'retail' and if I didn't like that that's too bad, because he knew what they were worth. I pointed out to him that the retail price on the book was 30 cents and I'd take them all and started counting change, and he actually yelled F-off in the church and walked away. Should I have relented? Sure. But I got a kick out of it.
