Citing the lack of interest, it would appear to be priced too high to sell in any venue. You can wait it out, drop asking price, rinse, repeat...

If you have run out of patience to do that - then use EBay in auction mode as suggested and it will certainly sell. In an auction, you start with a large market of buyers and work backwards, whittling down the number of buyers until you have one who's willing to pay the most.

Let me know when you've got your next R&B for sale at $1000 - I'll take it!

Smaller auction houses may be another option for you. One I follow a little bit is capitolonlineauctions.com - they mostly get restaurant and inflatables auctions, but sometimes have pinballs. When they have pinballs they seem to sell for premium and interestingly, the auctioneer attaches the fee onto the buyer above their winning bid. So, if they bid 1800, you get 1800 and the buyer pays 1800 + auction fee. Compare to the eBay model where the seller pays the fees and I think you will like.

Agree with some earlier posts that you need to fix the DMD because you want to appeal to the "plug and play" buyers; otherwise you are targeting smaller audiences - the fix-up crowd and the part-out crowd. These two groups value your machine differently than the "plug and play" buyers... you seem to want the "plug and play" price.

Location seems to be a killer.

IMHO selling a high dollar (let's say over $1000) item on eBay is probably not a good idea if you are an inexperienced e-bay seller.

Although I don't sell on eBay, I would not be afraid to do it for smaller items.

With Pinside and other pinball communities you probably have your target customers better lined up to see your ads right here than on eBay.

Probably, if they find out you're doing it. Don't actually say in the listing that you want to sell independently of Fraudbay, just include a Best Offer option, make it clear that the listed price is much higher than you expect to actually get, and include your contact details in the listing. Recommend that people personally inspect the game before they make an offer. When they contact you in person (not via Ebay's email system) let them know you want to sell away from Ebay.

If you're really worried about breaching Fraudbay's policies, tell anyone who contacts you that the reason the price is so high is to cover fees and the potential for scammers/refund demands (since this is open ended you haven't specified how much you've inflated the price by), and that they can contact you after the listing ends to see if you've still got the game. Once they do, name your price. Ebay would have to look pretty deep into their terms and conditions to find something to get you on this way.

I have sold many pins and high dollar games on eBay. As a seller-I don't like ebay and pay pal. High fees from them and also in most cases the buyer is too far away to see or pick up the game. Even with games in great shape you can have problems. The upside is the exposure. You almost allways will sell a game if priced correctly to condition. Craigslist is the worst! Half price offers and no shows. Only upside is if you do get a legitimate buyer it's cash and carry.

I used to sell on Ebay, but I am going to try to avoid them in the future. They no longer protect sellers at all. For example, I sold an item for $19.99 with free shipping. The guy got the item and demanded a full refund. His reason was that "he no longer needed it and wanted it to go back". I sent him a response and said I would refund him what he paid for the item minus the shipping cost. I had no idea that just responding to his request opened a return on the item. To make a long story short, he sent the item back and I lost the amount it cost me to ship it to him because Ebay doesn't allow partial refunds in that situation. I'm done with them!

I'll add to this that if you do sell it outside while the auction is still running you can't just cancel the auction. You have to jack the price to something no one would ever pay and shorten the legnth of the auction if there are a lot of days left.
Also be aware if someone sent you an offer and you counter offered, that counter offer will stand even if you jack the original price up. I had that happen to me & I had to honor the Ebay sale. Luckily the off-Ebay guy was very understanding.
