For sale ads are a major reason to come to pinside. Start charging fees to list and a lot of sellers will just go to Facebook market place or CL and list for free. If you don't like the price or think it is a joke, then just drain the thread and move on.

Crackheads like this, need removed. This site is becoming a joke.

Crack is indeed whack.

Still some good bargains out there! Heck I saw a pretty nice STTNG for sale, with pictures! for under $10,500. Sold tho. But deals do come up!

No way this one would get to the best of thread status.
Not enough personal attacks, underlying premise is almost plausible , certainly not enough memes.

private message sent. very interested buyer here! Trust Pete from SD. the guy knows the market, and always has top notch games. talk soon

Some of you need to learn how to use this.

Damn, he said you beat me by 5 min. If you decide not to buy he said Im next.

Dumb dumb dumb

We never mention bom when we talk selling prices. Scares and confuses the masses.

Besides, then we gots to do all dat explainin’.

BLWS. Wish I was farther. Seller farted in it.

My FS ad selling a piece of pinball toast gets shut down but this thread doesn't? Both are equally ridiculous.

Is this the bitcoin edition. I’m in

Is it bright and tight? Tell me a little more about this game right before you drop the hammer.

Dave says these games are fun, with great art.

Listing Entirely Bull Shit

This sucks .. waste of time

Soon to be the new Pinside slogan!

Link to the video?

He must have meant he was accepting monopoly money at that price!?
What a joke!!!!

Short for lebsians

Since it's a Joke post thread, I feel ok going off topic.

Question. Is there a way to search the Market forum only for Games for sale in your region or city?

Thanks.

You should be able to set a radius I believe, based on your location.

Is there a way to search the Market for only actual pinball machine sales, not jokes? Maybe Pinside creates a separate “Silly Listings” thread for the laughs.

You can also go on the pinside map and click the classifieds button and see what's listing are for sale on the map around you.
The only catch is that it includes WTB as well as FS.

Got it! Thanks. Went into my profile and was able to limit the search radius, set it at 1000 miles, for the Grails.
I can always hope can't I?

I'm confused... why don't you just go:
Marketplace ---> Classified Ads
Then set what you want to search by. I have 'Machine' and 'Other' ticked, with max radius set to 300 miles as my default search. Is way less annoying than the map

Your confused?
Me too.
Often.

How much did some poor sap pay for a Monopoly just out of interest?
I really do feel for these guys when the whole market eventually collapses (and it will)

Great idea....too bad it couldn't be implimented

That is the whole joke: He listed these games for what they sold for at Captains Auctions over the weekend (before the 18% buyers premium, sales tax, and shipping)

Yeah, compared to the auction Monopoly, this one's a bargain!

A Stern/CGC Distributor, also an operator that has owned hundreds of pins scooped it up for his personal collection in NV. I had Three other buyers in line behind him.
You obviously do not know much about pinball value sir. The Condition of my Flintstones was excellent and totally worth my asking price.
That's why it instantly sold 4x in less than a day.
If you don't like the theme/title then fine. But it is an excellent layout and rules packed with features.

I've sold over 40 pins here, and another 40 on Facebook. You sold One pin and now you are an expert?

That did look like a really nice Flintstones. I just sold one too. Underrated title. Fun pin!

I've been collecting for over 30 years and I collect mostly older HUO games from the 70's, 80's and 90's so I have a very good understanding of the value of pinball machines, especially when it comes to nice originals. So F off sir for assuming that just because I only show one machine sold on Pinside it's all I ever sold or that I'm some kind a newbie. The games I collect go for 2-3x the normal selling price because of their condition and Pinside is not my target audience since you need to find collectors looking for machines in that condition. There's only a small percentage of collectors who appreciate the nice originals and most would rather just send a game off to get restored instead.

A perfect example is look how people droll all over your machines for sale which while are nice don't have much original besides the wiring and mechs since you use brand new cabinets, mirco playfields, repro parts, etc. Personally I prefer all original when possible but it's a lot easier for most to just buy a new cab and reproduction playfield then it is to take the time restore them.

Part of the fun for me all these years was the hunt of trying to find these time capsules. I recently sold a machine from early 90's for over 12K when the Pinside average price is only 4K because mine was likely one of the nicest originals in existence. I have also paid out the ass to acquire many of these older games in this condition so have been on both ends as a buyer and seller. So please don't come here lecturing me about not knowing much about pinball value. I expected a so called expert like yourself would know better then to judge someone based solely off Pinside when it's only a small part of the pinball community.

I judge you by height.

So a outstanding example $3000 game would be worth 6-9k maybe this is a little higher being for sale in California

Yes, but I'm not talking about these so called HUO examples that people make claims of all the time with a shooter lane that looks like a butt hole. I'm talking about a game that looks like it was stuck in a time capsule and just pulled out of the box. I hate to use a cargument but it's like a car that was always garage kept and only driven a few miles every year.

When people are paying $20-$25K for games like POTC or $15-20K for MMr Royal or Tron LE I'm not sure why it would be so surprising that someone is willing to pay a premium for a near NIB example from 20-30 years ago. There aren't many out there like that because back then people were not buying NIB games for their home. My comment about the Flintstones was a bit tongue-in-cheek because of the craziness of today's market. It was not a shot a turbo2nr but more of a knock about the crazy prices buyers are willing to pay. But he decided to make it personal but guess I should not be surprised after seeing some of the comments in his FS threads.

The shooter lane can dressed up either before or after the sale.
Meaning; in my opinion a shooter lane that looks like crap is an honest one, one that looks unused may not be.
