Quoted from AbacusMan:Who got #666?
I know who do.
Quoted from ZippyThePinhead:I don't think it helps our hobby to take advantage of one of them by selling them something that, as muttonboy put it, could potentially drop in value.
.
Zippy I respect you, but you are reaching brother!
Your argument is that Mutton is protecting newbies from the possibility a pinball machine could drop in value after they buy it? Really? Maybe robin should put a sticky on the top of the forum page warning all newbies of this potential danger.
What Mutton did and what I think you are wrongly defending was to say "WOZ is the ONLY game GAURENTEED to go down in value" how can he say that? He can't! It's a guess! I don't believe that he stated this was his opinion he stated it as fact... Does this help a newbie?
Would you like Mutton to jump on to your FT thread (link below) "my MOPLE for your BIBLE"
and say.... MOPLE is the only game GAURENTEED to go down in value?

Since you called Gweem out on owning WOZ i will also make a quick observation I noticed you cancelled/sold your WOZ order?
One last note about Guarantees...there is only one that can be made
The only thing "GAURENTEED" in this life is this moment right now!
Quoted from Concretehardt:I noticed you cancelled your WOZ order
Not sure where you got that from...I have never ordered nor cancelled a WOZ order...why exactly would you think that?

That's not my argument at all...I was merely stating that anyone should be able to post their opinion on any thread as long as it is about the topic, without getting crucified for it. It is then up to the reader to take those opinions and decide which ones they believe are credible...add that to their existing pool of knowledge and then form their own opinion on the subject. My point was that newbies don't have the same vast "pool of knowledge" to draw from and depend on our opinions even more. Censoring some opinions could possibly make the newbies slightly more vulnerable than the rest of us.
And BTW, I agree with a lot of what you wrote in your previous post...

Zippy you make some good points!
Sorry for the misunderstanding
Happy flipping
Quoted from Concretehardt:Zippy my apologies I got you confused with another Pinsider "Zippydapinhead"
He is a really good guy and has a WOZ on order. My bad!

You gotta love Pinside...it takes all kinds...

Nooooooo!
Not at all, as a matter a fact I haven't met a bad Zippy yet
Quoted from BenetBoy78:the JJP games are all American
Of all the (predictable) noise on yet another FS WOZ thread, I'm surprised no one has challenged this nugget.
Built in America but the parts aren't all made in.. All the metal,cabinet,wiring are made in America. The motherboard in Taiwan the CPU in South America the harddrive in Malaysia and the memory in china . Such is every other PC component on the planet.

They are assembled in America.
If you want to nit pick. Open up a Williams game, or Stern game. You'll find stuff from other countries.
We have a world market.

Not nitpicking. Just questioning the quote.
Thanks, Lloyd. You are indeed a loyal JJP employee.
Quoted from PismoArcade:Thanks, Lloyd. You are indeed a loyal employee.
More than that.
Back when JPop posted on RGP about Stern looking to China for production and pinball should be a product of the USA. I pointed out that if you open up a CV or TOM and look at the boards, the IC's all have things on them like Taiwan, Indonesia, China, etc. etc.
So I'm a loyal Stern something or other too.
