Sorry didn't mean to start it up again was just making a cheeky comment in hopes i get a pm with a seller who is looking to sell now.

And by outside Canada you mean Ontario right?

To be fair, I've been down this road before. Where I express my interest, and the seller replies with "I've been offered $XX for it but you were first. If you can match it, it's yours". Perhaps this was the case? I generally choose not to participate in that sort of game, myself.. because before you know it, the price has gone up by the time you arrive. Homey don't play dat.

Wasn't the case. But I've been victim to that too. Best is when you call their bluff and they relist because the original offer never surfaced.

Or the initial higher offer is a way to get a foot in the door, only to bring the price down by pointing out all the "flaws" while they're standing there. From what I hear, this is the MO of a few from the "jewel of the golden horseshoe"

Hey guys. The guy put an ad for stle for $7200.00. I was the first one to call. I told him I would accept his price and asked if I could pick it up in the morning. We agreed to speak in the morning to arrange a pickup time. He texted me the next day to say he had sold the game to someone else for 8000.00. He said he was offered 800.00 more and couldn't turn it down. I wished him and the buyer good luck. That's what happened. Period. End of story. Draw your own conclusions from that. But let's move on to trading pins!

Yea i was just goofing on the thread title ;-P

Thanks, good to know, Brock.

This thread is degenerating big time. Lots of mud slinging and not a lot of content in regards to the topic of "Anybody in Canada have any pins they want to sell?"

I get some of the pent up frustrations here folks. Alot seems to evolve around the cost of pins and what they are worth/arent worth here in the Great White North. Couple of years ago, yes, absolutley it would be considered insane what some of us are having to and willing to shell out for a pin. What it all boils down to IMHO, is if someone wants a title bad enough, they will pay what the current market dictates, and like it or not, our dollar sucks balls and the ugly truth of it is, this has to be taken into account when pricing pins now.

I'll use myself as an example. I picked up a TWDLE for 7100.00 US about 3 weeks ago. Landed it's run me about 11K. Insane?? Yep. But it's a title I wanted and went after and accepted the reality of the situation.

Lets get back to having this thread used for what it was designed for....selling pins in Canada. (Besides, all this bickering will let those Yanks know that all of us Canucks aren't that friendly!!)

I remember when this thread was about pins for sale in Canada.

Well said

I couldn't agree more. There is a lot of tension and frustration with the Canadian pin market lately. Fewer pins coupled with our dollar tanking has been a deadly combination. Hopefully we can all get through this together.

Have a very nice flintstones for sale or trade just over the border near Buffalo ny.

Looking for dr dude, mousing Around, and bad cats.

That is what happened, but the night before he and I were talking as well arranging a pickup time (on Josh's behalf) he told me I was the first caller as well.. so draw your conclusions from that. Anyways we were supposed to talk in the morning but he never called so I contacted him. He told me that he recived a bunch of emails saying he was selling it too low and that he relisted it for 8k that morning and deleated all emails/calls he had gotten from the night before and it would go to whoever called first at the new price (which was me that morning). 8k was still a good deal, so I told him we were good to go and Josh picked it up.

Hopefully that clears it up once and for all and there are no hard feelings anywhere, there was no bidding or over offering. The seller deleated everything and relisted at a higher price because guys were telling him he wasnt asking enough.

I'm pretty sure this whole story is BS. So according to your "story" you called him in the morning, he didn't contact you because "he lost everyone's contact info" you offered him the 8k, on Josh's behalf of course, and you, or should I say Josh, got the pin. Then the seller miraculously found all the contact info right after and contacted mstellato and told him, by your accounts, a BS story about being offered $800 more for the pin that morning. Seems extremely far fetched to me. I know you want to defend your "good friend" who you've never even met and like I said I completely anticipated you coming into this thread to do that. Josh pulled a douche bag move and offered the guy $800 more to weasel it out from under him, the end. If you helped him do it, then draw your own conclusions from that. Now let this die, Josh doesn't need your help he did what he did and only he has to live with it every night. No need to litter this thread further with Josh's douche baggery.

Someone sell me a TronLE and I'll sell my SOF (only room for 4 pins). I'm sick of all this talk, lets move some games!

On that point, if you have a machine that you are on the fence about moving, mention it here with what would get you to sell/trade it.

Perhaps you guys should take your bickering to PM or offline. Do you have any idea how negative the light you are shining on yourselves is?

I tried to take it to PM many times. Now hopefully it dies here.

Stop responding to things regarding that discussion and it will die. Everyone. Seriously, I just want to read about what's for sale.

Everyone, here is your spirit animal for when people offend you on the internet:

Go to your happy places

Ok that's pretty damn funny thanks for that. For the sixth time, I'm done

So let it die already!

You never sent me a PM. And the story libtech explained is exactly what happened.

Why do you suddenly have a beef with me? Ive invited you to my home on your travels to Toronto, and even offered you a bed to sleep in. I have never done anything wrong to you, nor have I ever tried to be a "big man" you speak of.

My big house? I live in a subdivision
My big car? You saw me driving a Nissan Quest minivan that wasnt even mine when I picked up IJ from you for my dads birthday(a 9 hour round trip).

At the Ottawa show, I shook your hand, you smiled and told me to play your stargate. I entered the tournament and played 2 games. one of which was yours, because you wanted me to try it out.

Send me a PM, or text me or even call my phone. You have my info, and thats where it ends. I dont weasel deals, I dont scam, and I have more class than any of the bullshit you have been throwing at me in here.

I bought an STLE with the help of a friend who sent an email. The seller chose to sell to me. I didnt outbid anyone, I didnt maliciously go after it. I just responded to a phonecall and ended up being the guy who went to see it.

Drop this topic, get back to games for sale and call it a day.

I would love an SOF and would be happy to take it off your hands. Unfortunately I do not have a Tron LE to offer. Last one I saw went to a good friend of mine last week. These things seem to be getting harder and harder to find.

Read through the thread and see how many times I asked you to take it to PM. Anyways it dies here, unless you or your "good friend" have something else to say?

Stop replying. Stop antagonizing each other, or I'm going to get a pinside admin in to give you both a week long vacation. I'm sick of this shit. Enough.

I will give you my last response with a picture of my FIRST response.

Enjoy your rage.

No wonder the west wants to separate!

And I will answer it the same way I did the first time

My STTNG is still for trade.

Might be interested in parting with my Jungle Princess. If you are interested or looking to trade let me know. I want to make room for another machine. I'll post a price and photos if no trades pop up.

Swapped some dmd displays for color. If anyone in Canada needs fully working dmd. I have wms, stern, and one Sega from a South Park, so whitestar platform. Last as I saw was 125usd shipped. Any need interest pm me.

Everyone done yet? I have a pin for sale but don't want it burried in a few hours. Maybe I'll post in a day or two when things slow down here.

Nah, everyone's done. What do you got, str8?

Also, I'm 100% about looking for a Tron LE, so if you have one you'd be willing to part with, let me know!

Still no nibbles on my TRON:LE for $17K!

Hang in there, someone wants it that bad. I'm not quite that desperate

Talk to me in 3 months!

Save yourself some money. Tron Pro is better than LE. Hitting GEM is HARD! I use the TRON stand up targets to rebound a hit to GEM. Cann't do that with the drop targets on the LE. Personally I'd rather have the Pro for that reason alone.

I also happen to own a Pro, am not price pumping, and have no desire to sell LOL!

Well, I am a big fan of the color changing fiber optics on the LE, and I don't like losing game modes (daft punk on le). Static recognizer and standup targets over drops is a bummer but I suppose it wouldn't totally kill gameplay for me. I suppose if it was a decent price (and preferably heavily modded), I would expand my search to a Pro as well.

Psst! You mean the stand-ups

Volk is the real deal. Purchased parts from before and solid guy.

Thx...good to deal with Puck too. Had a couple inquiries on these already for 3, but still have another 3 or so left too. Compatibility wise: sega came from South Park, Stern from ACDC, POTC. WMS from HS2, DH, WH20, SS, TOM.

Doh!

I side with going pro as well. You can mod it to have the el ramps. Lit recognizer (not moving but still nice). You lose drops but save on maintenance. You can chrome the standard trim and add the under playfield supports.

Only thing you can't do add is dp multi ball.

Not a big loss tbh.

That mistake is going to cost you! Now you gotta sell it to me!

Did the pro's come with shaker standard as well? Can't remember.

No shaker, but in my opinion it doesn't do much on tron.

I have one in mine, but it's not as utilized as other games.

A shaker really doesn't do much in Tron.. it's mostly used during the Rinzler battles.

And zuse

My inbox has blown up so I might as well post what game I'm considering selling. Batman Forever. Huo since 97. Not set in stone yet that I'll sell it but too many inquiries. If it's a title you want pm me. Thanks
