WTF price?

For those who have followed this blog, they should know that now I already have the tendency to get something used rather than brand new copy due to the disparity in price. As usual I was browsing for cheap bargain at lowyat forum.

However I found it amusing that one particular seller was trying to sell his nds games at rather expensive price(more than rm100 for 1 used DS game anyone?). While I thought the high price tag was just set for display only initially(well, you know we can always ask for best price right?), after a couple pms, the seller was reluctant to even slightly reduce the price for some reasons, it is after all square enix games that we are speaking now(I am interested in one particular game but you know what? Other non square enix games are expensive as well!!) and due to the stronger USD currency. I know, it all boils down to the simple fact where if you agree with it, you just buy or you can leave if you don't like the price but I could not help to wonder who is gonna get it from you if you aren't willing to even reduce the exorbitant price and the fact that the games he is trying to sell aren't even rare?

Seeing how the whole thing took place around 2 or 3 months ago,when I bumped into the same thread recently and looked at how those NDS games are still "lying" at the thread without any buyers for now, I know the price set is just too high and even if I am trying to add the game into my collection, I know for sure I wont even consider getting it from him if he is still adamant to stick with his original price tag. I guess it is just a lose lose situation for both of us now.

Anyway, this post is not meant to bash this seller but just to get us wonder, what is the comfortable price that you would consider for a used ds game? I know I wont get a used ds game if it is more than rm100.
