Make these points to him: Tell him 7 out of 10 times a SNES cart that wont save usually means a dead battery, not that complicated to replace though you need the required soldering skills. But tell him that it could also be the SRAM (even though I'm 99.9% sure it's not) and that would not only require addition parts (cost) to get working, but that a novice hobby solderer wouldn't be able to do it.
What I'm trying to get at is, make it seem to him like YOU are taking a slight risk purchasing the cart. Tell him what's up (the points I made above) and let him know your final offer. Make it clear to him that paying any more money for this cart isn't worth it because for not much more you can buy a cart that DOES save. Tell him you can't go any higher because it's not worth the risk. End your message with something like "...then good luck with your sale." like you're 100% willing to walk away from the deal.
Oh, and if you're worried it might be a bootleg then definitely ask him to open it up and take a picture if it's not too much trouble. But honestly, it's probably not. You could use this as another risk point to make though. Tell the guy that pirate carts are notorious for having saving issues so you're also taking a huge risk that the game isn't authentic.
i pretty much took alot of this and messaged him, thanks.
