I don't think it's a stellar game. It's a good game. However, if it's your bag, it is hands down the funniest game in existence. I don't know how they do it, but I've had the game over two years and I still hear new quotes! It actually catches me of guard.
Game, eh, but as a package, I'll never sell it.
Quoted from pinballlife:
This game didn't get much love when it first came out, but that seems to have changed.
Quoted from jalpert:
I do think he broke the rules here. If everyone did this, this site would be a mess.
I agree that's why I stated shameless
Quoted from BLACK_ROSE:
I never did get Sperm multi-ball while playing !!
Im not a doctor, but Im pretty sure you can get Sperm on a single ball as well.
Sperm multiball is just as hard to reach as Valinor, so good luck to 99.9% of us ever seeing it (with the glass on).
Terry.

I owned the machine for close to four years. I never made it either. Made the tv wizard plenty but Sperm Attack just seemed so unobtainable. Great game. Miss mine.

I've made it once. Freakin awesome! Pew pew sperm attack!
Needless to say I never made it to valinor though I've been to the final DTR sequence of it 6 times and one shot away two of those times; can you say choke!?!
Who cares if he wants to advertise here. I'd rather have everyone advertise here so I know of as many games as possible for sale. Who cares if he started a second thread? Does it ruin your day somehow? Does it take away from your pinside experience? Grow up guys
I personally care because if everyone started multiple threads every time they wanted to sell something this board would be overrun with junk.
Quoted from Whysnow:
I don't know if I can make it more clear. TO ME, your auction APPEARS to have shill bidders.There are plenty of ebay sellers with stellar feedback that regularly have shill bid auctions, so your ebay feedback means very little, esp since the majority of it comes as a buyer and not a seller. I am not saying YOU have done any shill bidding, but the bid history makes this auction appear to have been overly inflated by a select few low number bidders. This is a prime symptom of shill bidding. Either way, I advise my friends to pull out on this auction as it appears to be fishy.
My particular issue is that you have no qualms with paying ebay and paypal to sell your game via those channels, yet you take advantage of free pinside advertising and never even offered the game for sale here. There is no requirement to donate to pinside, but it does seem quite obvious that pinside is nothing more than an avenue for you to take, take, take.
The irony is that FG is a hot game lately and if you had offered it up directly for sale here you would likely have ended up with more $$$ in the long run.
Don't expect to pimp your auction here and then not have comments.
!!!ALERT---ALERT---ALERT!!!
Whysnow, there is someone who just set up a pinside account to sell ENCOM (TRON) lanyard, badge and lapel pin sets. They have NOT made a donation to pinside (or, at least it appears they have not donated). Since you seem to want to tell others how to spend their money, better make your way over to that thread.... http://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/fs-encom-tron-lanyard-badge-and-lapel-pin-set

Hilton, I know you well enough to know that you mean well, but....there is no evidence of foul play there. FG is regularly listed for $4600-$4700 on the forums I read. This looks like a really nice game and we all know eBay pin prices can be high so $4850 is completely reasonable. Robin himself has said he doesn't want anyone pressured into donating to the site. I think you should reconsider your position on this one.

Russ, I can clarify that I have no desire to pressure anyone into donating.
I do however retain the right to call someone out when they are coming into our community and doing lots of taking with very little giving. Post a second FA thread when you did not even offer the game to the community here first, and I think it is fair game that some people that care about the community will be a bit peeved.
I do not want Pinside to transform into a place of more silent auctions, advertisements from flippers/retailers constantly looking to sell for top dollar, and posters constantly looking for favors (i.e. help me transport a pin, buy my item for top dollar on ebay, etc...), or spamming the site with redundant threads will the sole intent to bring more attention to an auction.
I also have not changed my stance on this auction. When I look at the bid history, it is enough for me to pull out. I had originally recommended for a buddy to keep an eye on this auction as he has been looking for a nice FG. After the recent bid history, I advised him to pass and not bid any further. I also found 2 other FGs that are in similar (in one case better) condition and for sale somewhat locally at an asking price that is less than the current ebay top bid on this game.
$4850 is a completely reasonable price for this game, esp on ebay. The seller should be quite happy with that price I would think. I can only assume that he actually would have made more $$$ if he had offered the game up here as he would not have had to pay ebay/paypal fees.

I have seen you ask a pretty hefty price for two of your pins.
Everyone speaks of this "community". Out of this "community" one person has helped me grow my collection. One. He hardly ever posts on Pinside. You attacked him after MGC. Many from the "community" have wanted to move games from my collection to theirs. I would rather see a post about a pin for sale even an ebay auction long before I ever want to see another discussion about pricing or LEDs.

Mine was a Local sale ,, I can Still Play it from Tyme to Tyme ... 
$ 4850.00 ........... SOLD !!!
Wow it did not move at all those last few days. I think the value of FGY is closer to 5k if not 5500 the pin is fun and has deep rules and I can play and not hear he same call outs for months it seems.
The Banker bought mine ,, I can Still Play it from Tyme to Tyme ...
I am glad none of you were on I77 today terrible wreck
I was holding out on a nice routed one for $3650. Maybe I should make a road trip soon. I do enjoy this game and I have seen very little of the show.
You're too late.

You better believe it ...
That's what happens when you end auctions on major holidays. I've bought some pretty cheap stuff snipping around on Xmas and Easter (New years eve also) because most people aren't paying attention.
Obviously there are automated programs but is still matters. I used to sell about $1000 a month on Ebay YEARS ago..mostly the exact same stuff over and over at no reserve auctions.
I learned REAL fast not to end auctions on a holiday

That price is correct...I had one for sale for 4500 which was huo and perfect all around...it sat for a long time. Others have sat for a long time too. There is no way fg is a 5000+ game at this point....easter holiday or not, 4850 is a spot on price for an eBay auction with those extras
Yeah, I don't see where the $5,500 gushing comes from. I mean. It ain't Iron Man, right? 
Good game though. Thought about getting it many times, but I don't know if I'd like the layout day after day.
Quoted from Nemesis:
GL hope you get a bid war last 30 seconds
I wish he had as well. As a consumer, I want everything to sell for as high as possible as often as possible, and continue to do so.

Christmas, Hanaka or festivous it sold higher than any FG of Shrek before has or ever should
Quoted from PW79:
Hulk is $7000!
FGY is $4500?
Hmmmm for me that's an easy choice... Both!
But since I'm not ballerific I'd choose FGY for the theme & value.
Oh wait, I already own FGY, SWEET!
And on FGY the plunger works and the bulbs don't randomly fall out of their sockets on to the playfield.
Thats a nice take for the seller. Last one I seen for sale here was a nice looking but routed machine that sold for 3700.
