To be fair, you'll note that I said in the ad that I'll add cash on the trade. I'm NOT expecting straight trades. I paid $2,000 for this game over a year ago and put about $600 into it, and the market has gone crazier since then. You'll also note that I never said the price was firm. My plan was to list it for what I thought it might be worth and adjust the price over time since, as I said in the ad, I'm not in a rush to get rid of it. I also laugh at folks who list a NIB game for $30k, but I don't think it's unreasonable to ask around $3k for an uncommon early Bally. However, shortly after I adjust the price this evening, I will turn myself over to the Price Police and await my community service, which will presumably consist of replacing Bally wedge lamps for 15 hours a week.

I also wish that you could still buy early '80s Bally machines for $1,500, but based on archived ads, the fact that I already turned down one full price offer because I didn't want to ship, and the fact that I'm in no hurry to sell it, I'll let it ride for now.

Thanks guys. I'm trying not to be defensive, but I pride myself on being the kind of seller I like to deal with. I've got 100% positive feedback and I've made some great friends in this hobby. I had originally listed Embryon at $3,250 trade value, and maybe that was too high, but I'm always open to reasonable offers and I try to be square with folks, just as I hope folks will be square with me.

Everybody needs a creepy embryo!
