You're quoting pricing on machines you bought 4 years ago? That seems kind of silly right? Prices have exploded since 2010. As for the 7/7/14 for 2900, where did you get that machine? CL? pinside? That really is an amazing price. Was it HUO? That's awesome though, good for you!
I seem to recall calling out Neo on some crazy low prices he was quoting in another thread myself.
I'm not taking any sides but I follow CL and Pinside all the time and never see these prices. There was a STTNG that was crazy low on CL and maybe that's the one you bought but it was gone in minutes.

The OP would do well to consider that if it's a serious offer.

Pezpunk, your point regarding market price is valid. Certainly, finding outstanding deals doesn't make it the market price. There's no doubt that whatever Neo pays for a game becomes his definition of "market" price and instantly becomes "available all-day" at that price. My point, was to show that the prices he quotes can be found if you're patient enough but wouldn't want to imply that it's what the market price is.

Kklank, again, my point in including prices from 4 years ago is that games can be found at good prices if you're patient, regardless of what the perceived "market" price is. I was just trying to show that the crazy prices that Neo sometimes quotes can actually be found. Again, I'm not implying those prices are the market price for this game.

Bump for the op and his awesome ST:TNG.

...says the author of the RGP thread, "Pinside Can Totally Lick My Sweaty Balls."

Your childish bickering is impressive.

Now be a good hypocrite, go back to rgp, claim how smart you are, and whine about Pinside some more.

Bump for the OP

NO game? How dare you sir....what about LIONMAN????????????????

Just another data point, but I got a STTNG for $2900 in April 2013 (NW Indiana). However, the MPU had alkaline damage, it was dirty, didn't have keys or manual, had a few broken plastics, gun handle well worn, etc. It actually wasn't even playable. You couldn't start a game due to locked on diverter coil that melted the sleeve. Cabinet and playfield in good shape though.

Even with all the work/parts I had to put into it, I thought it was a fair deal but not a steal. As Neo pointed out, prices for run-of-the-mill games don't really have any bearing on the one for sale here which looks amazing.

Then you can sell it, buy Neo's collection for $96,500 and still have a few bucks left over.

I had to un-ignore to see who would write that on RGP. I wasn't shocked it was that tool. Back to ignore.

That was a joke, idiot.

For a while, the only way you could get anybody to read a thread on RGP was to disparage Pinside. That thread was making fun of all the pinside exiles coming over to RGP and whining about pinside - which were pretty much the only threads getting any traffic at that time. Ironic that you'd be unable to figure out that I was making fun of ...uh..hypocrites who wine about pinside some more.

And what does that have to with "RGP is forever" anyway? I stand by any of the millions of words I ever typed there. Certainly, my opinions on stuff may have evolved, but that's human nature. I'm not 24 anymore.

Congrats! Someone now has a sweet restored STTNG.

Is there anything more obnoxious than someone who continually "ignores" people, yet unignores them all the time just to re-ignore them, all the while making a big production about it?

Is it really "ignoring" someone when you continue to respond to them or comment about them continuously? Seems like a lot of effort to show just how you little you care about a certain poster

Congrats, can you tell us what part of the country gets it?

Just keep on talking. That's what you're good at.

You ain't kidding when you claim a million words on RGP. You used to live there until you lost your audience and had to come over here, like a defeated little hypocrite.

You got me boss. That thread (which you clearly didn't actually read) was in fact a SERIOUS call for pinside to lick my sweaty balls, and now I come crawling here hat in hand since my "audience" - and in fact 98 % of RGP - has abandoned RGP.

I apologize to Pinside for that offsite joke request for ball licking. Since I do not want to be labeled a hypocrite by the likes of hacks like RTS, I will now offer to lick all of your sweaty balls. Offer good till end of the week, and you have to pay travel costs (either to come here to NYC, or transport me to your preferred site of ball-licking).

Are we even now?

Just ignore him, I had to see if it was him or TeeKee that was crapping on the thread and others. The guys opinion isn't even worth looking at.

Just ignore me. Like dantebean. Who responds to my posts all the time.

Glad you got a sale on what i think was a fantastic restoration.
Cheers.

Your welcome. See...nothing like some good ol fashioned bickering to sell a game.

If its coming to Houton I would love to see it in person.

I called you out and the truth obviously struck a nerve, so you were understandably defensive.

But getting so frustrated that you resort to name-calling is just childish.

Congrats to the OP on the sale.
