So the bargaining is a lot harder to get a deal out of in this than neopets, which is a fun little challenge, but that's not why i'm here.
i'm trying to buy a sunflowerclip and eventually end up offering the price being asked for; and being told that's too low.
my guess is since there seasonal version of the item has the price <279> where as the same item in rotational stock was 400+, while it was telling me 279 asking price int eh pop up, it was looking and comparing my ""offers"" to the rotational stock version of the item.
