Quoted from Jvspin:
I remember going to an auction years ago. Was a bit disillusioned when I noticed owners bidding on their own machines.
Many of the games were won by the owners when the bid price didn't get high enough for them. Later learned this is called a "buy back" and is common.

Good auctions are long gone...Captains is mostly consignments, so you're really just buying games under the guise of an auction. The true auctions were Super Auctions, before Captains came onto the scene. They auctioned equipment that large companies just wanted to get rid of...there was no vested interest in pumping prices - the purpose was CLEAR IT OUT by the end of the day. I never actually bought a pin at Super Auctions, as they were still a bit pricey considering the condition and work they needed...but man did I get some amazing deals on dedicated classic arcade games!!!

This seems...ethically questionable, but I guess if they pay the buyer's premium and sales tax, the auction house is happy. Plus, having a reserve would actually decrease the chances that some of these things sell which hurts the auction house.

What a world.

Can you imagine eating $750 on a $3,000 game of yours that you have buy back?

The owners didn't have to pay sales tax and buyers premium, just a small fee to buy the games back.

There were some deals to be had as I don't think all the owners were buying there games back or they were there to move games, not maximize profits. This was about 15 years ago so things may have changed.

I'm selling my AFMr (LE #34) (green trim), purchased from Larry @ Flip N Out.

I just don't play it much, and decided to keep my MMr as I prefer it more.

Located at 94583, prefer local buyer...no trades.

Im got two games that need to find new homes: 1)AC/DC Pro original run- all lamps changed out with comet LED's, bands all changed to clear, just cleaned and waxed. Plays great. Not HUO but is a solid 8 out of 10. 2) Aerosmith Pro- cliffies installed, corners reinforced, cleaned and waxed. 9 out of 10. Would like to get $4k for the acdc and $4500 for aerosmith.

Selling my Gottlieb Amazing Spider Man project. Was really looking forward to restoring this machine but i have too many projects!

The game comes with some rare pieces.

1. Beautiful N.O.S. playfield - looks like it was cleared at some point but not by me. Check pictures to see inserts.
2. N.O.S. plastic set
3. N.O.S. backglass.

The game lights up, flippers and coils work but i have-not gotten any further with it.
The cabinet is in really nice shape for its age, a few bumps and bruises but overall very solid. Looks like all the flippers have been rebuilt and the underside of the play filed is super clean.

The coin door is restored but i lost the key so i had to drill the lock.

It comes with an extra populated playfield too.

Coin Mechs including a SBA

It also comes with extra new parts, rollovers, plastic pieces, flipper parts, rubber rings, etc.

And a manual.

Everything you need to create a near mint example of this title.

$4200 obo or trade

You call it low ballIng but I’m just stuck in the time I paid $3k for my mint original Attack from mars
And even less for all my other games

I don’t even recall you and I trying to do a deal
But if it did not happen means you were too high priced !

was intrigued by your comment even though I was clearly having fun on your sales Techniek
Only interaction I have ever had was 1 year ago on your Star Trek you were selling for $8200
And here was my offer:

Hello

I am local and can pick up the game for $8k

I had one myself sold it while back
And miss the game

Let me know
I can come Saturday

If you call this lowballing you must have really flipped when I offfered you $7k

McLarens are for drivers who actually know how to drive the car, especially when destroying Lambo owners who think their cars are fast lol
