Can They Haggle? No Or No?, Part 7

I am selling my old phone online. I wake up to the following series of increasingly unhinged messages from a potential buyer throughout the night.

Buyer: “$300 is way too much for that old phone. $150, non-negotiable.”

Buyer: “Okay then, you f*** around and not reply, there are consequences. $140.”

Buyer: “It will go down by ten dollars for every hour you don’t reply to me. $130.”

Buyer: “$120.”

Buyer: “$110.”

Buyer: “$100.”

Buyer: “F*** you, you f***er! I need that f****** phone!”

After laughing, I feel the need to reply.

Me: “The price went up with every text you sent after I specified the price was fixed. $370, non-negotiable.”

After that, I blocked them and had the phone sold at my asking price by that afternoon.
