Quoted from Blackbeard:Sorry to burst your bubble folks but this isn't a 2500 pin.
Funny, it was the last time that I sold one. Are you suggesting more or less for a players condition EATPM? Sarcasm is so hard to read over the inter-webs sometimes.
Quoted from Blackbeard:SNYPER: you didn't sell one like the restored one in this thread. I think you're confused at my comment. (I went and just edited it to make more sense)
My comment wasn't sarcasm at all. The pin listed here in this FS thread isn't a $2500 pin. It's worth a lot more based on what's been done to it.
As I've said, 3750 is high, but not crazy. It's got new ramps, decals, and a shit ton of new parts. PLUS the labor of stripping the cab and applying decals to make is nice.
EATPM, on average, without all the stuff OP did to it, is a $2500 pin. Base.
Hmmm, ok. I suppose that's possible. One thing that I will never understand is this...
Pinhead A buys a pin (title not important for this example) for $1500. It has cracked ramps, a trashed PF, and needs plastics and $500 more in parts. If you add everything up, the total they have into the game is 3,000. This is not counting time/labor. That person immediately assumes that they can sell that game for at least 3K. Why? The part list/ect. does NOT determine what this game will sell for, the MARKET itself determines it. $ for additional things like plating, mods and other eye candy IMHO adds nothing to the market value of a game UNLESS you match up with someone that either has $ or time to burn, or really does LIKE those add-ons -->(less likely).
Pinhead B buys the same title (different example of the same game) for 3K in VERY good original condition. That person immediately assumes that they can sell that game for 3K or more. Why? The price that you privately paid does NOT determine what this game will sell for, the market itself determines it. Do you just fear that you overpaid and you price it higher than you paid in the hopes that you didn't?
Are you one of these 2 people? Do you buy pins to play them? These are rhetorical questions, not directed at anyone in particular.
