    It doesn’t hurt to ask….but, there’s a reason my collection of 80+ games isn’t on pinside anymore. Some people make the approach like there’s an obligation to sell or if you have duplicate titles like I do, it’s unethical to keep more than one.

    ( I honestly got at least 1 message a week and didn’t want to come off as a bad guy when I didn’t respond since that doesn’t reflect who I am)

    I’d say as long as you do it respectfully you’ll be fine. Or in most cases such as myself, trades are more tempting.

    I think someone also mentioned this too but if you are looking for a game it never hurts to put a WTB posting. You never know who might be lurking and have exactly what you are looking for.

    Also having a game listed here for the public to know you have you should pretty much know you may be subject to some messages inquiring. So I’d say that’s another green light to feel comfortable in sending them a message
