He saw that it was on sale at a website called Tomiko, for RM400. The price was quite overpriced to him, so he directly messaged the seller for a discount. Their conversation went like this: Sunny: Hii Tomiko: Hello there! Thank you for contacting Tomiko! How can we help you today? Sunny: Hi. I am Wondering if there is any discount for the Ninja Sakura figure? I really like it. Tomiko: Oh sorry sir, that is our best price already. The price is fixed for now. Sunny: But I really like it and I want to buy it. I only have RM350, if you agree with the price, I will buy it now. Please! Few hours after the message, Sunny saw the anime figure was sold out at the website.
