    What I hate is when someone comes to your house, looks over the UNSHOPPED game thoroughly, then calls you back a week later to tell you what's wrong with the game, and wants a partial refund (buyers remorse).

    I just say, nope.....this game was sold to you as is, you had every opportunity to look it over......BUT I WILL TAKE IT BACK FOR A FULL REFUND. Then never sell them a game ever again. You don't want someone like that with your game, to bad mouth your reputation, saying you made them a bad deal. So take the game back and sell it to someone else.

    If I go to your house, look over the game, and negotiate a price to buy it.....its on me. More and more people want sh*t for free, and must want you to warranty a 20 year old game, but don't want to pay a retail prices.

    I had this one, sold a 15 year old routed game in very good condition, guy says he will take it. Once paid, his wife began to point out every scratch, blemish on the game, as if it should have been perfect, what are we going to do about this? There is a scratch on top of the head we didn't see.

    Here....take your money back....see ya

    How about the guy that shows up with a check book, and is offended you won't take his $4800 check?

    How about the guy that comes, says I will take these 2 games, pays a deposit, you package them up so they are ready to go for pick up day. The guy shows up expecting his deposit back, because he changed his mind. What's the point of a deposit then? Unpackage the games and put them back.....

    Ever had a guy put a deposit down, and take 4 months to pick it up?

    Sorry, been doing this along time

    Quoted from Deez:

    I hate sending a million pictures. I'm not a good photographer and prefer a buyer just examines the game himself. I think I've lost tons of sales from just not taking all the requested pictures. I like doing business in person to make sure everyone is happy and I can point out any flaws.

    Oh man, this exactly me. I especially hate when someone local makes you start jumping through hoops, just come look at it.

    Quoted from snaroff:

    I guess...but I couldn't imagine actually doing this. I've never had one of my buyers do this either. Fortunately, whenever I've had an issue, the seller/restorer has been easy to work with. I have no problem with someone contacting me after the sale.

    I take the glass off, go into service menu and cycle solenoids etc. insect the boards and connectors. Seem crazy not to open the hood if you are spending several thousand.....
