cool. but i've clicked on every link on this page and none take me to it. so, now what?

edit: found it with a little searching...
ebay.com link » Rick And Morty Pinball Machine

This ought to be interesting.. I think it’s fair he started low at no reserve.

You will have to pay EBay $500 for that listing instead of $35 on Pinside.

This is brilliant!!

When it sells, hopefully you pay Pinside for posting your ad just to get traffic to your external listing.

Like this idea so long as you donate to pinside as well for the sale. Let the market truly dictate what its worth and avoid the squabbling over price gouging vs fair market Kudos and best of luck with the auction!

This should settle the ongoing feud over Rick and Morty prices, but it probably won't unfortunately. Lots of people will still be looking for a handout.

Well. I am certainly glad these pins went to pinball players and owners that want to enjoy the game at the price Spooky sold them, and not used as a opportunity to flip for big profits. Right?

just wanted to say... does not really take balls to list an item at no reserve that you know will be sold for a profit.

Turns out... That’s not actually how the market works with respect to supply and demand. Really not worth the time to worry about it imo.

You'd hope so, but you'd be wrong. Either that or there are an awful lot of people who are super stupid when it comes to buying things. Oopsie daisy, I didn't mean to buy this rare item. Me neither. Me neither! Same here.

For fuck sake.

Ummm. You are already in profit based on current bids.

i NEVER count other peoples money GLWTS i have number 501 and i know i am gonna open it and play it when i get it. its win win cause if l dont like it i can trade it or sell it.

You aren't actually missing the point are you? You can't be missing the point. Because people that don't fucking want it bought it to screw people that did. It's not rocket science.

Neither is logging on and buying one when they go on sale.

If you missed the opportunity to reserve a spot back in 2019...you should expect to pay more. Tough Titties!

If you had one, how much would you sell it for?

I wouldn't? Anyone that knows me on here knows I sell my machines for cheap because that's what I'd want for myself, this why I do it for others. I'm aware that makes me weird, but it is also why this act really pisses me off. We just gotta kick each other in the nuts instead of help each other.

Paying $1300 in ebay and paypal fees combined at $10000 bid. Just end your ebay listing and sell it here, I'm pretty sure you get one cancellation per year without having to pay the final value fees. Double check with ebay if you go that route.

This is like a bookie with consert tickets.
They are contributing to the community by taking other community members money and in the long run helping the pricing on machines go up even further.

Fair enough

Aren’t you exited to see what it sells for though?

Should be an interesting thread after the auction.

Maybe spooky should sell his games on ebay? Small run is better...

Not really. eBay is a mess and can’t be trusted for things like this.

4 outcome options from eBay.

1. Legit sale, no shill shit, and all good. This rarely happens from anyone selling high dollar collectible stuff on eBay

2. Shills push it up but last bidder is legit. They over pay from reality that they got shilled and that is the eBay model.

3. It is overbid by a shill, non paying buyer, etc and behind the scenes the sale does not happen to that high bidder.

4. Profit off underpants or some shit.

They just need to:

1/ adjust switch on power supply to 230v

2/ go buy a new Aussie power cord ($5)

Looking for ebay bidders on pinside drives me mad.

Just bid.

Never.

Guy saying op needs to donate hasnt donated in a year and a half... haha
Everyone else complaining about him taking a game from a potential buyer that would have played it instead of selling it, there was ample time to buy the game. I know it sold out quick but if you wanted one you could have got it when it was released.

Im watching the ad on ebay, excited to see what it fetches.

I sell a shit ton of high end collectibles on eBay. No issues. My stuff usually sells for high market value or above. No schill bidders needed.

And, I have only encountered a non-paying bidder once in 20 years.

Others mileage may vary, but there is little to complain about other than their Fee Schedule.

What did these cost when they went on sale from Spooky?

$6500 or so prior to Options.

The blood suckers edition?

BSE’s were roughly 1500 deposit, 6000 balance due. plus options.

If I had the time, I could go dig up the one shilled AFM back in the day that caused that game to skyrocket in price.

It happens quite often in the pinball world.

I stopped using eBay for pinball after the 3rd instance of being 2nd bidder and then getting the “first bidder did not pay, would you like to take it as 2nd highest” BS stuff.

eBay actually encourages shill bidding since they make more money.

Open market is fun to watch in idea... but then you need to stop and realize how many flaws their are.

Well, NOT Policing it enough and allowing it are 2 different things:

IF you report schill bidding, they will suspend / remove the offender(s) accounts.

BUT, they would have to be really lazy/ham fisted to get caught out

... and with eBay benefitting from the increased fees involved they ain't looking hard at these situations, unless they are forced to.

Can I have your Hobbit for 3500. Dibbs!

eBay has improved some in dealing with shills and non-paying bidders in recent years.

So, where does everyone believe this one will end? My guess is OP cuts a deal with one of the bidders before the auction is over and removes the listing. I have no clue what the final dollar amount may be.

I would agree with your assessment.

Probably 12ish? That seems to be going rate for new and ready for delivery?

BSE I believe is more - 7250? That’s NOT including tax or shipping. With the options you need, not including butter it’s around 8800. tax and shipping add up.

How is build cost 9k?
What options cause it to get that high?
