Make up some story about how you had one and it broke and that your father gave it to you before he died.

My friend once scored some old tin godzilla toy from this lady after he said it was for a nephew that collected cool lizard toys. She was so happy with her $20, because she said it was a toy that an old customer gave her as a present and didn't want to sell it. He rebalanced his karma though by actually buying a lizard toy for his nephew LOL.
