Maybe tomorrow???

If he hasn't given you a phone number or an address to come look at it by now he's not really looking to sell it or he's trying to figure out how to get more out of you.

I try not to be too anxious cause that's a sure fire way of over paying for something. Unless its a killer deal, I think that its best to just let it happen if its meant to happen.
Tonight a listing went up and 20 mins later I caught it and sent a TXT message as the instructions said to. He responded and was 15 mins away so I said is tonight cool. I was able to haggle 70 off the asking OBO price cause 3 other dudes had asked about it also in the crowded collector area that I am in.

Yeah, I haven't sent the guy any emails since 6:30, and I don't plan to send any more. I'm just going to wait it out. He said it was at a storage facility, so maybe they were closed and tonight was never actually an option. I just gave him my availability assuming that he'd want to have cash in his hand ASAP.
It's a really good deal, but I'm not going to get my hopes up.

Not necessarily true. It's a Saturday night and a lot of people have more important or interesting things to do than to be selling their old arcade games. They could be sold already or perhaps the person just got busy and will get back to them when they have time.
Which game was it? I didn't call about it in any case! I haven't been calling on them for a while now but I'm just curious.

The hunt is the best part. The day I stop getting excited about possibly getting a new game is the day I quit.
