1) You own the place

When you walk into Funcoland you must remember that you are a 
customer and it is their job to please you. First ask to be let 
behind the counter. If they tell you no, then demand it. If they still
tell you no, ask to see the manager. It is best to raise your voice 
and draw attention to this injustice. If you won't take no for an 
answer then you are gonna get what you want. 

2) Tell them how it is

If you want something they don't have a price for then they better get
one. This happens frequently with rare NES games. Offer a dollar or 
two. If they try to say they can't sell it to you, then once again
demand to see the manager. Managers always cave in.

3) Don't take any crap

We all know that after picking out what you want to buy at Funco, you
are subject to a five minute sales pitch on the holy cleaner. 
It is best to just inform them as they ring up your 
games, "I don't want a cleaner." If they still try to push it on
you try some profanity.

4) Try to make a deal

This goes for peripherals mainly. If you can convince them a peripheral 
is meant for something else much lamer, ussualy you can get it for cheaper.
This is kinda rare though.
