What's the lowest price for a ship that one can talk Stan down to in The Secret of Monkey Island?

Question

I know that you can't buy your ship from Stan without doing some bargaining.

I've been able to bargain enough to make it so that I can afford the ship, but I'm curious what the lowest possible price you can talk him down to is.

Answer 1

SPOILER:

You can only talk him down to 5000. He won't go lower. Sorry, but the game's gonna make sure you're broke before you get to Monkey Island itself. :)

Answer 2

Actually, I just made Stan accept 4000. You first offer him 3000 3-4 times and then 4000, once or twice, and he'll accept it. Hope that helps :)
