Tips for "Not bad, kid" achievement?

[local cryptid]

By now I have unlocked all Paleofolk, so the mayor coming into my store, let alone wanting to haggle is rare as heck for me. I'm trying to get the "Not bad, kid" achievement, where you have to haggle with the Mayor for a 200% price increase to sell to him. So far he's gotten mad at me everytime and I just can't seem to figure this one out. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Subscribing to this thread. I started a new save file just for this and the man refuses to give me more than 10% on any item. I have no idea how 22% of players got this, unless it's bugged.

Supposedly get him to friendship 3 to get his shop perk and 10% sell price, sell only carpenter items and follow the trend of the day (stone, wood, etc). Still working on this myself but that's the story I've been told from a few diff sources

I got it after setting the item prices to 4 times higher than the default price. And I think it was carpenter and trending. I can't remember if I had the mayor at friendship level 3 at that time.

I can confirm that this is the solution. It's preferable if you do it early game too, since the pool of Paleofolk will be smaller.

If you're pretty late in the game: the best way to go about it is to make a new save file. You can have six of them and it took me 1-2 hours to get the achievement by mashing through the tutorial.

Basically, a few quests before you build Nellie's house, the Mayor should be available in Starfall Meadow. Gift him a few items, talk to him, and hangout with him. You'll hit friendship three with him fairly quickly. Then after you build Nellie's house and he assigns you, Adi, and Maple your roles, you should have access to the trending material. This is the most ideal time to get the achievement.

Set up the displays so they're right by the windows (there's a set of them by the door - turn the camera to see them), put out carpenter items made out of the trending material, set the price to max, and then pray he haggles. If he doesn't, return to the main menu and reload. For me, he recommended a price that was 200% the base cost (which can be seen when setting the price), otherwise I assume you could bump it up to a little over 200% and he'll probably give in immediately.
