I would trade my 1985 scooter/moped, but at the price ratio it's worth 20 grand! So, plz don't try to full me and my intellijence!!!!!

Some of the ads are funny. I way over paid/traded for my HS but I knew what was going on, and I really wanted it for a project. Right now! I've seen some steals on craigslist too! 3 em's for a hundred bucks was one, not too long ago. They did not look bad either. I think they were on for less than an hour. I always see them too late though! Someone around here is faster at it!

Or.....I bought this at an auction or garage sale, paying way too much for it, after watching storage wars and American pickers. I thought I had gold and hit the jackpot! Then found out I way, way over paid and I want to pass the loss to some other poor sucker!

I do like the playfield on that one. It looks kind of cool! Might not be a bad deal if it is a simple fix. I doubt it though! I've heard that line many times before! In cars,bikes,4 wheelers,boats, you name it! It ran/worked when I parked/last played it...... If it's just a simple fuse? Why not change it and up the price?

That Bat shit covered HighSpeed wouldn't scare me! That's my type of project! I always seem to end up with shit!

I'm the bottom of the barrel project guy! Wish it was closer!

Wait till you guys find my project for sale! There are all kinds of jokes there!

I'll try to post a link, when i originally listed it I was serious, I have little experience in buying and selling, ...Then I did the research on the machine last night. It has been floating around for years, and many mentions of it in threads up to 2 years ago... I had no idea......I was going to pull the ad in a few days. Just in case someone is really looking for that title for a project. I guess I way over paid...it's a mess!

So, here it is! Cracking on my own ad!
nwga.craigslist.org link

I don't think he's too out of hand...$150? Isn't there enough parts there?

I'm still fairly new...So I don't know prices yet...If that was local, I'd be the guy offering 100 bucks for the parts...But maybe I'd be way over paying?

Who knows...The original might look half way decent under the vinyl?

WOW....I have no idea what those games are worth...But...Look at that side art!
Ya..7500 seems a little bit out of my range for a project!

You were nicer about it than I would have been.... I don't mind people trying to negotiate price. I do it too sometimes. But when they get insulting or have "advice" when things don't work out their way, and have to act like little kids? Ok! It's mine(whatever is for sale) and I'll sell it how ever I want! And now that I've gotten advice from them in a negative way like above? The price just went to $600 for them. Even if they don't buy it you still have to let them know an A-hole fee was just added if they actually want it.

Some of these guys are bad! The last machine I bought the owner was hesitant to even talk to me at first. His first offers on the machine were a 100 bucks in texts......After he told me that, I said.."My first offer is $350? without even seeing it!"and to me that would have been stealing it! We ended up at $500 with some other things thrown in. A little more than I wanted to pay but I wanted the machine as a project pretty bad. I couldn't believe the offers he was telling me people were giving at 100 bucks though...haha And It probably works sometimes or they wouldn't do it.

No way could I look a guy in the face and say..."ya...Well..I know your asking 700 but...She's a little rough...I'll give ya 100 bucks!"

I could care less what people offer. It's their offer. I either take it or leave it. It's when they start getting mad about it. On the flip side? I may want too much for some things. It's just what I want for whatever reason. They don't need to get mad about that either..Just don't buy it! haha...And If I have to sell? They might catch me on the right day and get it cheap. I've done that too!

I agree!! When I sell stuff, It's either because I have to to get some cash. Or just a her it is, take it or leave it, just to see if someone has more interest in it than me. So, I'm all over the place on how I price my stuff. If it's one of those times that I don't need the cash? I may like the person or even want to help them out and practically give it to them. Or if they start to get an attitude? I may not budge.

If I have to sell it? Sometimes it's just to scrape up money, other times I try to recover what I have in it. Like my last sale. I was upfront with the condition, and had to get what I was asking.

So...I'm all over the place with prices at times. Just depends on a few things. And never to "rip anyone off" it's just my price.

Now...Watch!! You will get a $600 or $700 offer for your new listing! Would not surprise me one bit! In other hobbies we use to play with prices to see what would happen. You would be surprised sometimes! Price it reasonable and they think something is wrong with it...

I had a car motor on craigslist years back....A guy asked if I'd trade for a Python and really needed the motor for his car. I said sure! Thinking a colt python.....I didn't realize he meant a freakin snake! I backed out of that one!

I've even messed with people back.....Sure I'll trade! I'll even throw in my wife! She eats a lot of chips, smokes cigs all day, and stays on the couch so no one steals it! Doesn't cook, clean, and is mean as hell! Usually they go away after that. I use to have all kinds of come backs for everything. People didn't know what to think.

Here is why....

http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=804

At first look I thought I had one too....The first runs must have just been mixed. I don't believe mine is a prototype, but it does share some of the same things that link talks about. I can see how someone with the early games might think it's a prototype. I have number 95184

Ya..My cab art doesn't match that...I have the red lines. I have no clue how they would know for sure other than the X after the game number 554-x....If I understand it right. I have most of my stickers and none of them have that. But by reading that article I can see how people might get mixed up. Heck the bottom of my cabinet is even a little different than what I see in pictures. So these things must have just been changed here and there along the way through production...Like anything else.

That's when I stopped looking and realized there were just batches of differences in production.
I would imagine "inspected by" stickers are a dead give away too!

This might get people confused too......My sound Roms are marked "P-1".....No clue what it means, but someone could take that as a Proto sticker too...

I'm going to use that in my next ad..."I'm unloading it!!!!"

Thats custom! Just "like" factory!

"The ball occasionally sticks."

So? Uhhhhhmmm? If the ball didn't occasionally stick? Then how much would it be?

That looks like something My grandfather would have done. "fixed it!"

It doesn't even have to be 2am here...2pm is close enough!

That spider man pic cracks me up! That almost looks on purpose. How do you miss that when listing?

"must unload ASAP."

"unload" is a word that people should stay away from in ads.

The last time I heard that? I was in a bar parking lot years ago being motioned to a trunk...."Psssst...Come here. You want to buy any of this stuff? I have to unload it ASAP!!!"
