Pushing their luck
Okay, this seller gets major kudos for their acceptance of such a low deal! We really can’t blame them for eventually turning down $41 when they were asking for $155. They’d already dropped the price by over $100 when the prospective buyer decided to push their luck and beg for a cheaper price.

This buyer sensed that they might be able to take advantage of the seller, and they could to a certain extent. But once the seller had already helped the buyer out, they were prepared to say no to any lower offers. While the exchange remained polite, it’s got to be frustrating when buyers try to take advantage of your kindness.
