Dude. That happened to me before as well. Not the same guy though.
I walked away with my stuff the moment the chap asked for a further discount.
Your friend should have done the same, or at least stood firm to the $240 asking price. Seriously. Letting such people get away with good deals is a strict no-no.
C'mon. Your friend clearly knew the chap had more cash on him than he claimed he had. So why back down. You're the one with the goods, he's the interested party.
Exactly Jasper, the same thing I told my friend too. I felt very offended myself too although it didn't exactly happen on me. I think anyone would feel the same thing too. This is like friggin' explotation, or should I even say, threatening la!
I have a really really simple way of dealing with people who keep asking for a discount when I don't want to give one, DON'T SELL TO HIM, I'd rather make a wasted trip than let some guy do what he did to your friend to me.

Aiyo some people ar, just dunno how to give in(the buyer I mean). Why low ball when you know the other person already so low? Give face to save face lah.....
you could, before parting with the goods, ask the guy one final time to agree to the stipulated deal price. this way, should something happen, there would be legal discourse.
wow.. that sucks, i myself must admit that i have lowballed people around $10 when the price is abit too high, but never $40!! which idiot agrees to buy then lowballs him on the spot, anyway, i dont think u should put his name and number up..
its so easy to find out who he is.. just google/yahoo his handphone number and u should figure out who he works for.. but u shouldnt spoil his reputation la..
anyway, thanks for the thread, maybe softies can learn how to walk away if they get lowballed too bad..
Warning to all fellow softies!
