Not Cool

Good point gweempose (how you feelin by the way?).

I sent the seller a question basically asking him if his product was different than the one posted on CPR to make it worth $250 more than theirs.

I also pointed him to this thread so he could see that some in the pinball world don't appreciate that type of over-inflating Pinball prices. (Hope you don't mind).

Totally un-cool...

I agree. Not to mention the fact that it's practices like the one you pointed out here that artificially inflate the Price / Cost of Pinball parts on the eBay market.

Unfortuntely, he is within his right to post a product at a rediculous price, and unfortunately, someone will probably eventually buy it. But, we can speak our mind also eh?

Greed!

Well, he did reply to my question... see below.

Dear doglilly2,

I could careless, if you think you can get one for $149 go get one. Who cares? Usually the people that couldn't or didn't buy one care. How many people do you know that buy a machine that sell it for more than they paid for it? Free enterprise.

WOW, what a prick...

A real winner for sure...deserves a "kickass" but not in his "pinball"

I think ebay is so yesterday does anyone really use it anymore?
maybe on the small crap but on whole machines it's C-list all the way.

Got an email not too long ago about a pin I have on the pinball owners site out of Italy,
a fellow in the UK found that someone used a photo of my 'Alpine Club'
to try and sell his or hers on ebay (UK) Of course I have a bar name and phone #
on the backglass that was an option for those Wms/Rockola merger era pins.
I think he looked up the bar and phone number and found it was a pub in N.J./U.S.A.

Always be suspicious

Does he have a two per person limit?.....I might want 3 or 4 at that price. The sad thing is he may even sell a few.

Yeah, it's free enterprise. But scumbags like him tend to take the joy out of a hobby.

Kickasspinball = Suckasspinball Nice work guys, we all know now NEVER to deal with this ****ass*******

Sweet Jesus that's an awful website.

"Sweet Jesus that's an awful website."

Amen to that! I went to check out their actual website and my browser kept bogging down and locking up! It looks like they are promoting a high end refurb service for machines (above the normal grade service??).

You too could own a Medeval Madness for only $10,000. Did you notice the disclaimer on the main page? "What's the difference? We Buy Sell Trade with the collectors."
Know any collectors that deal with Kick___?

Well, the auction apparently ended with no bids on it...

ebay.com link: New Twilight Zone Pinball Mini Playfield Proto type

I thought you guys were gonna jump on that and bid!

G

good, glad no body bit

It's because of lame asses like this that people who don't know any better think they can sell their parts/machines and a ridiculous prices then wonder why they are having trouble selling. Thanks for the post though I will not do any business with this company.
