Quoted from NightTrain:

Is pirates overshadowing this one for you now? Just a great game! Good luck.

Quoted from KingPinGames:

What are you looking to get?

Quoted from Lawnboy:

This is my old game. Looks like new.

Quoted from Eric_S:

What is with the downvotes? Do people not like the game, the price or the seller?

Quoted from NightTrain:

I'm guessing it's because of the price. Not to be a debbie downer, and not to devalue my own game, but the price is still too high for the market unfortunately. I don't get it, because The Hobbit is an incredible game. I listed my HUO Smaug with some upgrades and found there was interest at $6800. I decided not to sell it, because it's way too good of a game for $6800. I can't think of another game out there that has more to offer for that price. There are some haters of this game (I was one!) that really haven't put the time in on newer code to fully realize how amazing it is.
In my opinion, Smaug would fetch a higher price as well. Nicer armor, better art, limited run. Black arrows are still being made. Nothin limited about them.
I would say a real world price on this game is somewhere in the $6500-$7000 range.
Best of luck f3honda

Quoted from dung:

Why would it sell quickly? There has been a huo black arrow for 7k on klov for ages. There have been various smaug's for 7k or less on here that sat. Is it a huge discount relative to new? Sure, but the market spoke awhile ago on this. Its lumped in with houdini and rob zombie (and yes I own one because it was a huge discount over nib). Market is over saturated with low play huo games at a time when people want to sell and get the next newest thing. It sucks for people who buy and change their mind, but maybe people will learn to buy once they put time in and know they will keep it for a bit.

Quoted from dung:

I said something constructive. You just don't like what I said. If you do not want people commenting on your sale ads, do not create a forum post. Forums are for discussion, both positive and negative.
As for why you are selling, you very clearly list in your ad that you would trade for new titles. That says you don't need the cash and are chasing the next game. Not much of an assumption when you say it yourself.

Quoted from dung:

You know what, I'd buy you a beer for saying that. I did misunderstand, downvote is simply an easier way of speaking your mind without as many people getting up in arms. Being a stand up enough guy to admit you can take feedback is seemingly rare on here so props to you for being able to say that.

Quoted from Coz:

Taking off the legs and setting the pin on a cardboard box in the street usually helps the sale. This makes the pin truly imamaculate [quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from TxJay:

I think your price is reasonable, but I would never sell my AFM LE for $7000 so to me that's not a good even trade. Good luck with sale!

Quoted from Yoko2una:

Jesus Tap Dancing Christ, did we just invent "downvote shaming"?
It's quite simple. A downvote is a disagreement. It's not a death wish. It's not anyone hoping ill will. It's a disagreement. Plain and simple.
Original price was $8K. Black Arrows are not limited. Also Hobbit (despite how good the code may be) is not in high demand. One recently sold in the northeast for $5900. I know of two LE's that went for sub-$7K. So $8K for a used non-LE, and a title that is taking multi-$1000 hits on the secondary market is going to raise eyebrows. Again, do I wish OP gets hit by a bus? Of course not!!! It's just a freggin vote.
And to call the initial downvote "distasteful" is ridiculous. At the time, I felt it was warranted, and because this is a FORUM, where opinions are not only welcome, but we have a F'ing up/down vote system, I used said system. People shouldn't have to keep running tallies on their votes in the event of future changes (I bet Andrew Heighway still has upvotes for announcing Alien... want to go yell at them too?).
It's not distasteful to disagree with something, and no one should have to be shamed into changing a vote. I personally have removed my downvote because OP seems to have some awareness of his FS ad, which is becoming rarer and rarer on here nowadays. But it's never distasteful to agree/disagree with something in a forum, no matter the intent you believe is happening in your head.

Quoted from Yoko2una:

Ok, pinsiders are apparently now offended and butthurt with downvotes. Here's the context - your original price way too high... so much that you had to drop it $1000 in under a week, and it's still sitting on the shelf. You're probably going to sell this for ~$6000-6700, and you'll have taken a bath on this purchase, somewhere around the equivalent of paying $35/play. Feel better? Or would the simple disagreement with your original ridiculous price have sufficed so people weren't bogging down your thread? Again, wish you and others I've downvoted no ill will. It was a disagreement. GLWS.

Quoted from Yoko2una:

It's a great saying. I originally heard of it in this CL post, which always makes me laugh when I revisit.

And um, free bump

Quoted from dung:

Just had another pinside user get very upset with me because I downvoted their fs ad. Its an unshopped game that is 1k over pinside's high price. They felt betrayed because I had sold them an unobtanium plastic set at a high price. Not sure how one correlates to the other, we agreed on a price and since selling the set I have not seen any pieces new or used come up so I can't replace it. As for the betrayal it seems having an opinion on here is something not to be voiced.

Quoted from tacshose:

Agreed, no fucking way am I explaining every upvote or downvote I perform on pinside, that is literally the dumbest thing I have heard suggested on here in awhile. The OP has been here less than a year, so I’m sure the OP will catch on to how pinside works soon enough.
A downvote meaning a shady seller, that’s funny.
