I used the web sites suggested price. Obviously they were wrong. sorry for the confusion.

I bought this game in the 90s from a friend who used it in his photography loft in NYC.
I have had it serviced when ever a light went out etc. I don't see anything not working on it, in fact I just played it to see. The machine looks in very good shape as I played it with my kids very randomly over the years. You need to arrange pickup. Any questions email me. it comes with the 2 books, the diagrams of all the circuits and the instructions to play. Fantastic machine

I'll never understand why pins aren't sold to the first person who states that they will pay the full asking price?? Isn't that what the seller is looking to sell it for?

It's nice when it works out that way but putting OBO can also entice interested buyers to offer more. You see this all the time in Real Estate where houses sell for more than list price.

Sure.

But if I got blasted with messages all offering higher dollar amounts in rapid succession and I never agreed to sell it (or even responded) to the first person who reached out, you bet your ass I’m taking the highest offer!

Conversely, once I’ve accepted an offer and a higher one comes in I would never take it.

Probably because they signed up yesterday and this is their only post. If they "had it serviced whenever a light went out" I would assume they don't know much about pins, let alone the value of a game like this. They probably priced it in the range of the pinside average which is way low on this title, then got slammed with messages in minutes and realized what they had.

I'll never understand why people feel like eveyone else needs to adhere to their own personal ethical code of pinball transactions and take a huge loss because they don't know the value of a 30 year old game because they don't obsessively follow the market like we do. I like a good steal of a deal as much as the next guy but if it was you or me we'd do the exact same thing and it's silly to pretend otherwise.

There are many reasons for this.....
The seller hasn't been on pinside very long and probably had no idea that it was under priced..... there hasn't been one up for sale for a while since they are relatively rare.
GREED
Baiting people to start an auction
Goofy people that don't do any research and then get bombarded with buy offers....
Some sellers stick to their guns go with the First full price offer and others run with the bids.

Are you trying to point out the winners from the losers? Losers break their word for nickels. When you don't take the first full legitimate offer, you are a LOSER!

The funny thing is the ones who buy from losers are bigger losers than the sellers. I avoid loser parties.

likely 3k asking would have been the right spot.

Last one on here was $1700 for a completely beat example.

From 1700 to 3500, maybe I’ll offer 7k and see if we really can get this to 10k by Christmas. I wouldn’t pay if he accepted because it doesn’t matter. My offer is contingent on if I think I can get one for less and I bet I could. It’s just a number, right? No biggie

Yeah it’s got so many cool features but if you want a good score you just need to the same shot on the right over and over . I really wanted this game for a long time until I saw people exploiting this massive flaw in the coding , kind of killed the joy in the game for me . But I do know someone is currently working on fixing that flaw and if they are successful and the game can be played as intended making use of the features it would be very good and I probably want one at that point.

I honestly am happy to see the seller stopped with the blind auction BS and just reset their price.

I mean, any asshat that is hurt because then did not get a screaming deal at $1700, deserves to be bent out of shape.
These guys that throw a hissy when a seller shows up and undervalues a game and expect to get it because they are first to respond, are worse in my opinion than the ignorant seller pricing to low and not doing their due diligence before listing.

Granted this seller tried to do a blind auction "send me your best offer" via PM which is the biggest bullshit.

The re-evaluation after a bit more research and shooting high with OBO was the more commendable thing to do.

I still think 3k is the sweet spot on this one.

I suggest whomever buys the game get verbal that the seller will pay the pinside fee (hell, make the seller close the sale at pickup). He at least needs to pay for the sale rather than evaporate forever.

Saw this earlier and thought it would be cool to have for a while. Then I read the exploited right shot and thought "nah". Too bad, this guy is about 30 minutes from me! I'd like to say I'm shocked at the inflated price this morning, but, well, I'm really not.

I've seen a few in nice shape sell for $5k. So this really isn't that bad of a sticker shock.

Yeah. This one is pretty nice shape. Above bag compared to most I have seen.

I would be surprised if a deal is not already done.

Only real limitation is inability to ship
