We appreciate all the feedback regarding ads such as this.
However, this is still Robin’s playground and the Moderator Staff will enforce the rules as Robin directs.
This ad is completely within the marketplace rules. And the OP has gone through the current verification process.
So until Robin makes a decision to change the criteria for posting games, ads such as this will continue to be posted on Pinside.
While we are saddened by the idea that some Pinsiders are allowing their heart to turn grey over ads such as this, we are not going to go against Robin’s established rules to save one or two hearts.
So the best option for those hurt, angered, triggered or offended by high priced game ads is to move along to the next game listing or better yet use the wonderful tools created by Robin.
These tools are available to everyone and can make customized experiences that suit your needs.
I highly recommend using them to make your experience more pleasant.
Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!

Helpful as usual.
Quoted from ForceFlow:We don't regulate market pricing, and I don't think there are any plans to do so.
Are you not reading? I’m not saying to dictate prices. Where did I say that? Jesus dude. Just create better barriers to block the bogus ads that you and I both know won’t ever sell and clutter up the marketplace while diluting the space for people actually trying to sell games.

Thanks Marcus, as you hit the nail on the head. I’m suggesting changes that would benefit Pinside and the user experience. That’s all. It’s simple. Not tearing down the free market economy. Happy holidays to you too.
Yoko, I think its possible to think the OP is out of his/her mind and kind of an asshole for posting this ad up in the first place, while also thinking he/she were within their right to do so.
Like 60 plus others, I am happy he linked it to a thread, because even though its just the internet, it gives me joy to downvote such nonsense.
If I were more mature I would just block them and move on, but unfortunately, I am not. I want to see -100 by midnight.

Good post.
You’ve got this moderating thing down pat.
Quoted from ForceFlow:You could always place these users on ignore if you don't want to see their posts. That feature is there to help tailor your experience on Pinside to your liking.
If only the feature actually completely worked. I know for a fact that when people you ignore quote you, it still shows up in your "Quoting you or mentioning you" feed. No idea if it's broken for market stuff or not......but I'm about to go test it out on someone that's PARTICULARLY annoying with all the ads for their overpriced crap and will report back.
Ironically, 2una keeps bumping this to the top of the forum. I’m sure the OP appreciates it. It sure keeps prices like these in the forefront of everyone on the site.

Yea, I’m sure my bumping is really going to move this pin any quicker. Super ironic really as we should see Sale Pending any minute and it’s all my fault.

Don’t give yourself a heart attack over someone else’s for sale ad. Seems like a strange place to fall on the sword.
I think forum posts should be enabled on all market ads. If you ask ridiculous prices I should at least be able to give you shit about it.
I'll give someone 1k off and sell mine for $9300! I'll also throw in a chimichanga from our local burrito joint.

Yes!

Heart attack? Dude I’m posting between games. I can have fun on a holiday week and also point out chicken shit rules on a privately owned website where they have the power to make change. Not mutually exclusive. Now back to my new Elwin game (which I’m F’ing loving).

I am so buying you this t-shirt for Xmas. (I already bought 4 for myself)

Lol thankfully I’m not taking out frustrations on any other games I just brought in!
I don't normally post on others for sale ads, but I'll jump in with both feet on this stupidity. For anyone looking for a Deadpool pro, I have a very nice example available also in Houston Texas for $7500. Which in my opinion is *still* $2000 too expensive, but whatever.
Best of luck on the price gouging OP.

I'll give you $5500 for DP
Quoted from Amarillopinball:I'll give you $5500 for DP
Lol!
And here, ladies and gents, is why you have to ask $10k if you’ll settle for $7k.
I guess the phrase “don’t feed the trolls” was lost on this thread. One idiot’s post isn’t going to move the market price on this game. Chill out. Enjoy time with your family and friends, and have a Merry Christmas.

BUT THERE'S AN OVERPRICED AD ON PINSIDE!!!
ARRRrrrRRRGHGHGHGHGH!!!!!!
Since my collecting days are over due to current market prices, I have grown rather fond of price police and price bitching threads. I think of it as a form of therapy, helping me come to terms that our hobby has been discovered by rich people.
So here's an idea, eliminate the option to NOT have ads discussed in the forum. Make every ad become discussed in the forum. It would provide me more entertainment from this site, and give high priced sellers some well needed verbal abuse.
Has everything been said yet? Let's check... yeah, Levi was called - Check. People hating the free market of Pinside - Check. Price Police mentioned a few times - Check. 8k Deadpool in response - Check.
Crap, I'm only left with "I wouldn't sell my DP Pro for 10k". I need to get in on these crazy threads earlier next time.
Quoted from DaveH:I'm only left with "I wouldn't sell my DP Pro for 10k".
LOL. I almost said that earlier. I love DP and would miss it greatly.

Quoted from Yoko2una:You’re just attracting assholes who want to flip for ridiculous profit and leave. And in doing that, you lose my red heart.
Don’t want to vet out the sellers better, fine. Keep the Pinside fees the same but charge half up front, half upon successful sale. You get arguably more money because you’ll get 50% of the non-sales fees, and the remainder is business as usual.
Shit. a bunch of sellers pretend they keep their game to avoid fees even when they sell here
Quoted from Strummy:Shit. a bunch of sellers pretend they keep their game to avoid fees even when they sell here
I believe you, but that's some next level loser shit.
Quoted from Zablon:If it wasn't for people bitching on Pinside, Levi would have nothing to bitch about.
I'm sure he could find plenty of political topics to rant about outside of pinside
"Let me know if you need some specific picture."
Yeah I'd like a picture of the crack pipe you hit before making this ad.
Quoted from Zablon:If it wasn't for people bitching on Pinside, Levi would have nothing to bitch about.
It’s true!
Life is otherwise perfect.
This place is like a fuckin “lighten up Francis” meme come to life.
Quoted from jandrea95:I believe you, but that's some next level loser shit.
Right....We can afford these expensive games but some choose not to pay a fee for selling because they are cheapskates. Fucking pitiful.

Love that!
Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:GLWS Op!
But my XMEN LE for $8,000 is a better deal.
If you keep this shit up someone is actually gonna boy it !!
Quoted from CrazyLevi:If you keep this shit up someone is actually gonna boy it !!
I’m just getting started.
1 week later
Quoted from CoachBacca:Are people actually paying these asking prices for some of these pro models? Ghostbusters is outrageous right now too.
If you're a chump!
Quoted from Amarillopinball:I'll give you $5500 for DP
I’ll sell you mine for 6, I’m 4 hours away.
Clearly he really doesn't want to sell the game; however he will if someone gives him stupid money for it....honestly in this market I don't blame him.
Some of you guys are out of your minds. We got a crap load of men acting like Karen's. Yelling Cancel this guy for listing a pin at a high price! Dudes seriously? I read this shit "Robin should do something about this" Are you kidding me, we live in AMERICA and you can list what you want your commie scum. Move along, there is nothing here for you to see. Simple

I agree with most of this unhinged rant, except that this forum is actually based in THE NETHERLANDS and for all we know they may be commies who also hate freedom!
