I feel like there's a story here.....
Anybody notice that the color of Pin-Bot's arms on the Taxi backglass are flipped from how they are on the original Pin-Bot machine? And he's down to just 2 displays!
...I need to get back to work.

Quoted from Spraynard:I feel like there's a story here.....
Straight from the pages of "How To Make a Buck Being a Douchebag, The Pinball Flipper's Bible"
Step one: Lowball the shit out of everything you try to buy. "I know the dollar menu SAYS one dollar, but you should sell me that cheeseburger for .57 considering I have to go thru all the work of unwrapping it before I shove it down my throat."
Step two: Make shit up. People are stupid and will believe anything you say, after all, its the INTERNET, if its not true it wouldnt be on there RIGHT?
Person 1: "I didnt order a cheeseburger, I had just a regular hamburger."
You (Douchebag): "No problem, let me get you another from my vast collection of hamburgers, Ill be right back"
(Douchebag returns with a hamburger in a crinkled wrapper with cheese running down the side of his face)
Person 1: "Um... thats the same burger, you just licked the cheese off it, Im pretty sure its just a McDouble, why are you trying to charge me ten dollars for it?"
Douchebag: "Because I am a Douchebag"
End of story.
I'll take the translite if you ever part it out. My CPR playfield is Marilyn, and I have Marilyn roms now, but my translite is Lola

I have no idea what that means other than you got quoted another price.

Wow, apparently I must have beat you to a deal on a pinball machine or something. Maybe it was this one I really don't know, but regardless I put countless of hours into searching for deals online and talking with people. I love buying and playing new pinball machines all the time and for me it's just a hobby.
I may actually be buying a container of pinballs soon too, but I guess that would make me a bigger douchbag in your eyes if I start fixing them up and selling them for more than what I paid.
Have a great day!
Quoted from Blackbeard:Choggard.
You need to post more pics than that one lousy playfield pic in the Marketplace.
I'll post more later...
Quoted from Methos:I have no idea what that means other than you got quoted another price.
Yeah, I think I am more confused now than I was before.
You didnt beat me to anything, Im simply tired of you emailing me everytime I post a machine for sale, lowballing the shit out of me, trying to trade games you think are worth at least twice as much as what they normally go for.
I dont want your POS Funhouse for 5k
No Im not interested in a $2000 Baywatch
I dont want to trade my HUO Tron for your Taxi
No I wont take 2500 for my TAF

Now that makes sense....

That's fine just don't response to my emails. Some of these are a little extreme (example-Tron) I probably wanted to see if you would trade a Tron on a partial trade for my Taxi. I wouldn't expect a straight trade on a game like that. I've traded many games in the past for more than one of my games.
Quoted from Hugsc:Great game! I might have to take this off your hands..
It's drastically overpriced. Trust me, you don't want to pay that much for this game.
^I would feel bad about trying to directly affect someone's sale, but something tells me this new account is a duplicate for Choggard, just trying to stroke his sale.

Really you're unbelievable... What's a fair price on it than Collin?
Quoted from davewtf:$1200
You two should put each other on ignore. Just a suggestion.
Yeah tried that already but the problem is he can still make ignorant comments on the page and others can still read it.. It would be nice to be able to just block him out completely.
Quoted from Hugsc:Great game! I might have to take this off your hands..
I believe this to be a duplicate account. Choggard has sent me emails many times from an account that begins with: "HugsC"
I'm all for asking whatever price you feel like, but you've got to tone down the excessive bumping (maybe once a week), and these shady practices.
I do my best to lay off of your threads (because I don't think they need to be bumped MORE than they already are), but it's not right to create a fake account to pump up your own stuff.

Quoted from jayhawkai:Trade for a nice lamp? It's arguably just as good as Tron.
I will add two tootsie rolls and a bike tire to the trade deal.

I would agree with this as well. Choggard pm'd me here asking what is the lowest I would take for my Pinbot that I'm selling (told him $1900 if he showed up in 48 hours with cash and never got a response) and then I got an email thru Craigslist with the account "HugsC" shortly after offering me $1k for it, to which I did not respond.
Quoted from davewtf:duplicate accounts are a violation of pinside rules, i believe. not sure on that.
Mods?
Yep, look at Hugsc's post history. Doesn't look good.

We know all you guys are buddies on here so for one of you to support another it doesn't surprise me one bit.. Pete we already had this discussion..
Cory,
I don't know you, and I've never met you. You're probably a really nice guy, and I bet we'd get along great in real life. But I will tell you this:
Every pinball person I've met, dealt with or talked to in Michigan is completely tired of your online antics, and most have told me that they will refuse to deal with you in the future as either a buyer or a seller.
This recent 'dual account' business doesn't help one bit, either.
I wouldn't make the mistake if I were you of thinking your issues are about Pete and John 'supporting' each other as friends. Whatever that means. It goes way deeper than that.
My advice is for you to take a few months away from the scene and reinvent yourself coming back to the community with a fresh attitude and perspective...

Whoever chugs is always lowballs my Craigslist ads, last few asked if I would take 2k for lotr or TSPP. Annoying!

Oh Snap!

Quoted from ElectricCircuit:Whoever chugs is always lowballs my Craigslist ads, last few asked if I would take 2k for lotr or TSPP.
Maybe he's heard that they are making repro TSPPs and LOTRs for 1k each. Which means he is actually doing you a favor?
So, this thread started off boring but got very interesting.
Note to self- get one of those banhammers. That looks very useful.

I don't have a problem with John or you and many of the people on here.. Most of the people I have dealt with on here are great people. Pete, Collin, and gang are the only ones on here that continue to harass me on anything I say or do.. I must say Pete has been pretty professional about the last time we spoke, but his friends haven't been(Collin, Sarge, etc.)
I hate to pile on but looking back on an email thread when I first posted my FT on CL and emails going back and forth to the OP here about the same game. I'm fairly confident that Hugsc and the OP are one in the same.
Quoted from Choggard:We know all you guys are buddies on here so for one of you to support another it doesn't surprise me one bit.. Pete we already had this discussion..
Let's not get sidetracked.
Is that (hugsc) a duplicate account of yours?
If it is, it appears to be one that is designed to mislead and pump up your own listing.

Like I said man... It's way deeper than a couple of people. Some people may be putting a polite face on it here, but the talk on the street among people I know and who have PM'ed me (I've met or talked to a large portion of the MI pin guys) is that you're not seen in a remotely positive light within the community. That may or may not mean anything to you. I'm just trying to let you know that this is the reality, and you might look to see what you can do to alter this reality.
