Yeah- he got throttled pretty hard. Wildly immature for a bunch of men in their 20s-50s to treat a teenage boy in that way, in my opinion.

Pinsider tankpinball started the thread. I just searched his posts and it looks the the thread was not only locked, but altogether removed as it is no longer in his 'threads started'.

Yeah, lots of people were getting downright in a tizzy about that thread and one of the mods made it go away. I honestly thought he was a teenage boy on here as well and didn't see a problem with it, until it went downhill fast. He'd had other threads about drawings he'd done in art class, saving up money for a pin because he still was in high school and lived with his mom, etc.

Couldn't have said it better myself but happens daily on pinside.

The Williams IJ is still there at the arcade. It looks quite nice. I may give it a test ride tonight.

But muddy, you forgot the pinsider that is currently on his 3rd Identity. Not sure he can be excluded from the list.

LMAO this thread is still going! Has OP returned yet?

I'll be honest -- I have lost count of the secret identities on pinside. I'll leave the detective work to you and Dito.

Back on topic:

Folks,

I know Apollo personally.. Great guy, done LOTS of good stuff for folks during the r.g.p days, even ran a small arcade business.. One of the better board guys around.

Fast forward a bunch a years, wife and lawyer got you selling what you don't want to sell and THEY set the price!!!

You post it on Pinside for what THEY say to have to get for it... And this thread happens....

And you wonder why the OP doesn't respond? Really?

I know it's Shark Week on Discovery channel, but really? Is this community gotten that blood thirsty?

Ok so we all know its a high price, but no one is making you pay it (unless you had his wife's lawyer then you would).

Yeah just what I would want if the judge and my ex-wife's lawyer set prices on my toys and were forcing me to sell them,,,,, a bunch of folks calling up just to bust my chops on the price with no intent of purchasing. Classy.

so then are you suggesting that he should thank us for the harsh reaction from the pinball community?!? his soon to be ex's mouthpiece will have no choice BUT to lower the value of the HUO LOTR by thousands of dollars. we just established $5200 as a fair price for said game and not the ridiculous $8200 that the attorneys lackey suggested.

It seems most likely that this thread was posted as quick way to gather a great deal of expert testimony to discredit the original appraisal and show that there was no interest in a sale at that price.

Wishful thinking, ain't happening.

Appraiser says X, wife says X, Lawyer says X, JUDGE says you must give us X to your EX when you sell the machine.

If he sell its for $8k, or sells it for $4k, either way the judge and EX gets $8k.... So let the guy ask $8k and continue to play his game until it someday sells.

Legal System = unfair. No matter how much you tell them it isn't they don't care... And yes, I think that this thread proved no interest in this price a lonnnnnng time ago.

It also proves you really should not tear apart a guy if you do not know the backstory.

her side can say whatever they want for the price. he has no obligation to buy. if the price is too high they can sell the game and split the proceeds. also if the choose mediation too many overinflated prices could cause the mediator to punish her side for abusing the estimation of assets. after all binding mediation is, in fact binding.

Mike's not new, he's just new to Pinside. He's been a flipper (mostly vids) since at least the late 90's. I think his old site is gone but there's still info out there about it:

In otherwords, he knows it's not worth that but he's hoping there's a sucker in the crowd.

Then he should be more respectful......NO SUCKERS HERE!!!!!!!!!

You're half right. No need for the sucker part, he's just doing his part in trying to sell it.

Doing his "part".....

I am sorry he has to go through this divorce. I hope he hangs in there. If I was rich I would give him more and not tell the ex!!

A troll signs up and gives a bullshite story with no retort just to sit back and watch the comments fly.

Read all the posts....

You sir, are wrong.

The use of expert and appraiser are not interchangeable in this scenario.. that is the op's first mistake imo.

Divorce sucks. Now the pins are threatened. So ugly indeed.

I say "Let the man play pinball!!!"

well then if they over quoted your games by almost double, you give her pins equal to the value she had quoted, and you keep the house. There you go. You just got double money for all your games. If she thinks they are worth so much, there you go. Win, win.
