Salem, IN
Quoted from zene10:I talked to a local guy who posted a Wizard! for $4k. He said he saw games on ebay selling for $5k.
After it sat for a few weeks, I went to go see it and he was still adamant he wanted $2k. Nice machine, perfect backglass, playfield wear, and he couldn't get it to start up.
I walked away.
That's what gripes my ass is when people post ads quoting eBay asking prices. These people clearly know nothing about the pinball hobby or the used market. They're not even smart enough to look at sold listings and see what games actually sell for (which is still probably more than real market value). Most of these people asking these ridiculous prices are not/never have been/never will be pinball hobbyists.
Name me one Pinsider or RGP'r that is experienced in the hobby who could honestly ask $4.5K for a player Aladdin's Castle, or $4k for a players Wizard! and not feel guilty about it. I know I couldn't.
