I hate making an offer while restocking and the store dude wants to haggle,
and his offer is 11 NP more than you offered. I offered 2333 NP, he said
2344 NP. And I didn't get the item. Grrrr!!!

So I kicked him in th ehead and teeth. And I feel better. )

The truly sad thing is that it is so completely random in nature.
Sometimes an offer of 2222 on a 2500np item is just fine, and other
times the bastage demands at least 2480 or somesuch.

I've just learned to always over-offer. 2500 becomes 2555, 678
becomes 777 and so on. You pay more per item, but you don't miss them
because of a wiseass shopkeeper.

Ooo - battering a shopkeeper. Chia police gonna get you for that one.
Unless you live in the Haunted Woods, like we do; or on Krawk Island.
Police don't have jurisdiction there, and there's no extradition.

I get the message "You don't want to pay *that* much for this" if I
accidently hit the button 4 times instead of 3. This is for non rare items
only! Depending on how much the item is I offer 111 the first time, 333 the
next 555 after (you see the pattern?) until they don't drop their price
anymore, then I offer about 5 NP less than that. And since I now know how
much they want for it, I can short-cut it, and still get it for what I got
the first one for. And they don't kick me out anymore. Collectable Cards
are easiest to do this with. But not the rare ones. Depending on the
price, because some expensive ones hang around for people to take money out
of the bank for.

Stamps I offer close to what they are asking for, because I am only looking
for ones I don't have already. So the ones that stay in the shop, the
really common ones, I can look past and ignore.

I have paid, in a haggle, more than what was asked for only cuz its a
quickness thing and sometimes its quicker to pay 233 than 230 he asks for

But I get not only the "You dont wanna pay that much" thing, but then I have
to haggle around the accidental price, so a 222 item, if i offer 2222, then
I have to offer 2k and up so I miss out on th eitem because why pay 2k for a
200 item... you follow?
