Quoted from timab2000:Yeah I'm kind of bummed out about it.
Don't be bummed about it my friend, you can feel proud. You're new to Pinside, I assume you are also new to pinball and you just made a smart, veteran move. A smart move that is still lost on many people in this hobby. When to walk away.
Be patient and wait for the right deal. It may not seem like it right now, but you're off to a good start IMO.
Quoted from timab2000:I look in the marketplace here on this site to what the going rate might be for a certain game and like I said seller wants too much. Maybe because he paid too much I don't know. I can't be the only one who feels this way, or maybe I am.
No, you're not alone. The last 4-5 years have seen this hobby grow at an amazing rate.
The Pinside marketplace I find to be on the high side price wise and a poor indicator in general. A better guide to prices in my opinion is Boston Pinball at this link: http://www.bostonpinball.biz/
Once there click on the "Ebay Sales Summary" at the top right. And keep in mind those prices have little to do with condition so you may need to add or subtract.
In addition to Craigslist there is also some Facebook groups where you might find some fair deals. Search Facebook for them and ask to be accepted into the group. You may even find one close to your area.
Here's a couple that I like.

Good luck my friend. For some of us the hunt is the best part of this hobby.
