>I have given it much thought and spoke to Chris and have decided that I will not sell you the mat.
Dionspeak translation:
As usual, I am going to back out of a done deal in order to make more money. I didn't even speak with Chris, but he would never disagree with me.
>To make it a little more fair, what would you offer to own that NGWorld mat?
Dionspeak translation:
Hmm...he'll pay 2k for that cheap welcome mat? If he's THAT stupid, he might pay 4k.
>Take into consideration that the mat is something that can never be found or bought anyplace else.
Dionspeak translation:
Let's see if pulling the "rare" card will work again. I hope he doesn't find out that Takeshi can get dozens of them for $50 each.
>Anyone can have cartridges for $500 to $1500, but no other people will have the NeoGeo World mat to polish their Neo collection.
Dionspeak translation:
Anyone can have cartridges for $20 to $400, as long as they never run into me. I am the king of creating an abscenely high market for anything that says "Neo Geo". I wonder if he knows that Ty Warner (the Beanie Baby founder) is my cousin?
>I would say $4000 would be a good price for something that is so one-of-a-kind.
Dionspeak translation:
It's so one-of-a-kind that I have 3 extra ones, Chris has a couple, and they are littered all over SNK Japan's corporate headquarters. Hell, I even use one as a bath towel (and that's the one I'll send to you).
>What do you think?
Dionspeak translation:
I wonder if he bought it?
>What would you offer? (I am considering serious offers) (payment plans acceptable)
Dionspeak translation:
Come on Shawn, I'll take a counter offer of $3500, as long as you pay shipping. You can send me $500 a month if you like. Of course, I'll keep the mat until full payment is made. And even when you do pay it all, I'll say the price has gone up even more, or that I sold the mat to someone else and you have a $4000 credit at NGF. But there's no way I'm sending your money back.
>You're offer of $1200 cash plus 2 copies of Slug 3 and 1 copy of NGCup 98 is just too low.
Dionspeak translation:
Your offer is unbelievably great. BUT, it's so insane that I figure you'll pay even more. After all, stupid people DESERVE to be ripped off.
>I can now get Slug 3 carts for $280 new, so I can't accept the trade on Slug 3s at your value of $350 each, but I will consider SERIOUS offers.
Dionspeak translation:
I need to convince you that the value of MS3 carts is plummeting, and make you think I was doing you a FAVOR by valuing them at $350. That way, I'll make even more if you decide to toss in a few Slug 3s. Everyone in the world but me is retarded. I'm sure Shawn will take the deal.
