Lets be honest here you are talking about me. I would also say you have a tendency to price pump machines you already own, but then if we get into this debate I will get another long winded rant of a pm from you that will just get ignored.

You don't back up your opinions on sales unless called out and even then from experience you have used only ones that support your view. So before you start pointing fingers at me why don't you live up to your own expectations.

Versus what other way? If you say anything except *great price* or *great seller* keyboard warriors on here take up arms.

The hilarity of the situation is that I don't think the guy is entirely out of line in is price. Yes, it can be had much cheaper. I in fact was contacted by the guy two months ago and offered it for the same price and passed. Then, I was offered one off rgp for 4k and passed as well, but only because I got offered a game I wanted more, Mystery Castle.

However, if you want the game it does not come up for sale often. Its near impossible to restore unless you want to fabricate it yourself so buy a nice one. All I said is for people to "do their homework" so they can decide if paying now is worth waiting for something that might take ages to come across. Yet, because this is pinside and I didn't blow rainbows and sunshine out of my rear a couple of you took this as an affront.

It is *underhanded* to suggest people look into a potential 6k purchase. It is a *scumbag move* to remind folks that there is a whole internet of information out there. It is *trolling* to say anything except how amazing the seller is and how much a joy it should be for you to fork out your cash regardless of the price.

What a bunch of sheep.

And on here even if you show proof that a game is overpriced you get inundated with keyboard warriors screaming troll. So there isn't a way to be *helpful*.

Being helpful is having a real meaningful discussion about the pros and cons of a particular sale. Here on pinside you do not get that. If someone has a terrible reputation then people who have never dealt with them will hound the person mercilessly. They will go on there own little crusade which would be great if they had any first hand experience.

Short of that anything that is not purely positive sparks a nerd rage which quickly derails a sale thread.

You can't say, well this game is overpriced and here is why I think that and spark meaningful discussion. You can't tread the middle ground either which is what I was trying to do or else you are a scumbag.

Frankly, they need to just disable commenting on sales threads. The mindless idiot that post great price even when its clearly overpriced and the game ends up sitting for months do more harm than anything. The only useful comments are from those that have dealt with the person in question and can attest to their character. At least then there is some meaning for a potential buyer that isn't pandering or geared toward inflating prices.

It doesn't tend to be an issue with most sellers. Its the white knights on here that think they are somehow helping, but just derail the entire thread into nonsense that ruin it.
