Oh I believe it still works. I can feel the psychological effects when someone is persistently trying to sell me. It may manifest as guilt, annoyance, or for the genial ones a desire to help them out.

My favorite failure though was when one sales guy sent me an email asking for another colleague's contact info because maybe I wasn't "in the position to make the decision." Ballsy but boy did that backfire on him.
