--Response: "I'm sorry to hear that. The price is still the same."

"It is for my personal collection."
--Response: "What you do with the card after you buy it is your own business. The price is still the same."

"I am buying this for my ___"
--Response: "That's very nice of you, but I don't know the kid, so the price is still the same."

"I saw one last week for less money."
--Response: "Then you should have grabbed that one. The price is still the same."

"Can you do any better on this?
--Response: "Probably, but the price is still the same."

And last but not least: "You're a real ______!"
--Response: "You may be right about that. The price is still the same."

This reminds me of a classic (NSFW) movie scene:
