Freshly Picked: Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland: Rupee Negotiation Guide
Here's a list of prices that will get you the maximum rewards and spend minimal amounts in the game. It's not everything that can be negotiated in the game, but will get you through most of the negotiations that are in the game. Rupee amounts to throw into the pool are approximations of what you need. Depending on how often you keep the tower replenished with rupees, you may have to throw in more or less than what is shown.
