Good luck to you Bill, Iam sure there is a sucker out there somewhere. I wonder if Bill Gates and Don Trump collect Nib machines.

Yes. I'm sure whoever this is, they ARE kidding. What's sad is that it got deemed discussion worthy. Which I'd bet they were actually hoping for.
It's pretty obvious those ads are BS. Just move on.
There is enough stuff to deal with here on Pinside. Why not leave the Ebay, MR Pinball, CL stuff over there? Like RCA1 says, its a free world let them post in peace over there... wish we could post in peace here as well but I don't see that happening! 
I ask crazy prices all the time on rare and one-of-a-kind video games, it's part of the game. If real, they are probably just looking for offers...
I offered him $195,000.00 for the pair, he wouldn't budge. So I bought a Judge Dredd and a pizza instead.

This is as large an understatement as these are overpriced 
The problem with stupid asking prices is people that have a pin mouldering away
in their garage see dollar signs and try to sell their game for big bucks. Of course
it doesn't sell, so a pin that might have gone to someone that will restore and
appreciate it continues to rot.
My approach to selling (which I don't do much of anymore) is to list a 'drop
dead' price. In other words if can't get my (reasonable) price, I'll keep it. No
pissing and moaning and no irrational asking prices.

I remember being at an auction and bidding a TZ to $1200. When it sold for $1500 I thought the buyer was stupid.
I remember bidding $899 on a Whitewater on Ebay . My bid sat there for 6 days and I won, nobody else bid. My buddy said I was stupid.
I remember being at an auction and seeing a mint Haunted House go for $800. I thought the buyer was stupid.
I remember a guy offering me $3000 for a nice Addams Family, I thought he was stupid but sold it to him.
All true stories. Prices are only stupid until one person pays that amount, then it it the new normal.
Assuming they have what they're saying they do...I have no issue with a high asking price. I don't see why anybody does. Its an asking price, nothing more. However, if you contact the seller and he says he won't budge, flame away.
I've listed video games on eBay in excess of $100,000.00

Now, that's funny!!!!!
Quoted from Tseamans:I long for these days!!
Not really, it is all relative honestly.... I remember buying a Whitewater about 6 years ago for $700 with a missing display and busted boulders and some cracked ramps. At the time the repro parts were not even a possibility. This was at an operator auction and I was basically one of two bidders even willing to take the chance at $700....Passed on TZ for 1900, and AFM for $2100...
So basically no one was paying more than what I listed because that was the going rate back then. Look at the EM market, if you get over 300 for a decent one (desireable ones aside), you did well.... A lot of people saw prices declining on a lot of different titles.
really a good point to make is whats the condition of whats in the box, we all know that the ad is bullshit. but if it were true, how was it stored,where was it stored.and whats the PROOF. There are lots of posts on here that are dumb, its a forum. So mine is dumb too.
Quoted from Buffpac5:This is about as ridiculous as this Milwaukee Craigslist ad....
