Craigslist is what it is. Most buyers are going to offer less than asking and most sellers are going to ask for more than they'd accept. You can always counter-offer and a lowballer is still a potential buyer. Posting something for sale with "price is firm" or "no lowballers" is a turn off to me. As for the humor, I don't mind it when well done, but if there is a chance you are going to turn a potential buyer off with it, why do it?

Exactly. As a buyer, what is my first thought when I see "price is firm" "no lowballers"? That I'm going to be dealing with a dick. And that may not always be the case, but it is my impression.

Chris

Well I guess I'm an idiot then, but I think you kind of prove my point. I didn't call you a dick BTW. Done with this thread. Going to go debate the merits of filling lock bar holes on NGG.

OK, I'm back for more. As a seller, I set a price. The item doesn't sell. Maybe the item isn't worth what I thought it was? Happens all the time when I sell stuff. What do I do? I lower the price. Always willing to haggle. If nobody is offering what you are asking, guess what? It isn't worth your asking price. Market dictates value or you just hang onto it until it does or doesn't. Rip off? Give me an f'n break.

I played Genesis once back in the 80's. It sucked then, and I'm sure it still sucks now. The only people who think Genesis isn't so bad are people who already own Genesis.

I want to apologize to everyone on this thread. Why the hell am I arguing about a Craigslist ad? I love pinball and want to enjoy discussions about pinball. First rule of Craigslist, there are no rules on Craigslist.......

I thought Genesis sucked 25 years ago. The next time I see one at a pinball convention, I will play it 10 times if I like it, and 20 times if I don't. Truthfully, I thought Taxi was a huge quarter drainer back in the day, but love it with free play.....
