    If you offered me 1500 on a 4000 game, I wouldn't even respond.

    Seller: "This game needs a new board."

    Buyer: "Ok, ill give you a ham sandwich for it. Delivered."

    Seller: "No, I want a 5 course meal in Napa."

    Both parties have no idea what they're doing.

    Quoted from Aurich:

    What's disingenuous is pretending a few hundred dollars worth of boards cuts a game's price in half.

    So I'm sticking with you sounding like a buyer who's not worth dealing with. Walk away, stop annoying those poor people with your bad offers.

    You posted as I was writing, agreed with that for sure.

    Nailed it, Aurich.

    Pinball machines are emotional impulse purchases. Add that to the personality of the typical pinball person and you get some really odd deals. In the short time I've been playing and buying pinball, I've seen some really terrible, head scratching decisions/behavior/negotiation in multiple deals.
