TMP, just log off.
it is only pinball

Go outside and enjoy the fresh air

I have actually been on your side on this. However, now reading this post, I have to tell you that your issues are FAR beyond trying to be fair with selling games. Making yourself crazy over all of this bullshit is not normal behavior. I think you should take a serious break from all of this, maybe hand it over to your son, and go get yourself checked out. Somewhere inside you are off balance.

Every time I read this, I want to beat my head against the wall. I understand your thoughts, but how do you know what happens to these games once you've sold them? And why should you care?

Just sell the damn things in a way that makes it easy for your son and yourself and stop with the "I want to save the children" posts.

BINGO!!!

Skip, I wish you well. But please, stop being a martyr on this. Sell them which ever way is best and least stressful for you.

With that being said, I am out. Too much drama and not worth it to me. Good luck to everybody with the buying and selling.

Matt

Trying to "be as fair as possible to everyone" should include yourself Skip. I think you're putting too much effort into it. Scale it back to be as fair as REASONABLE to everyone. A bulk deal requires different ways of doing things than selling a game or few parts at a time. You have unrealistic expectations of yourself and that's contributing to the drama.

It doesn't have to be this way. Just post your ads and be done with it.

Stop telling us what you think and just do it already.
You sound like you belong in the looneybin

As it should have been from the start.

Selling prices? It says first come with cash. I have cash, I will take the lot. You deliver right?

I for one will be glad when ALL the machines are gone and we can get back to "regular" drama like jpop and Kevin. At least those threads have a purpose.

thanks for the heads up on what you had coming up for sale now roll them suckers out

You don't have the time to take a few pictures???!!!

I dunno...Just by going by your posting history the last few days, it looks like you have nothing but spare time.

And now another episode of "The Days Of Our Lives". Way too much drama. Stop selling. You bounce around creating threads to market your product and get attention......again.....and again.......and again. But GLWTS!

O-din
When can I come over to play pinball?

Yeah, Odin . . . can I have a key to your house? And don't forget to unlock the fence gate for me!!!

Mike in Kentucky

Any time guys. On my property it's always happy go lucky time.

Just go right on in. RD blew out the screen door for you

I can vouch for that! And mi hermano o-din has a destination level collection, daddio.
BTW Brian: I am finally picking up my own Heat Wave on Monday! The cab is a "paint it black" edition, but the bg and the rest are looking que bueno!

This is just another feeble attempt to drum up interest in his "warehouse find".
TMP just sack up and sell your games or not but stop with all of the bullshit.

I am very new to the pinball community and I am considering buying a couple pinball machines to put in a spare bedroom at my place. I tried posting to ask if seller was asking realistic prices for the three machines I was considering but since I am newly registered here Pinside limited me to one post. I was hoping someone here could give me some advice but the "community" doesn't look very friendly from what I am reading on this post.

Anyway, I already asked about Road Kings in a previous post. The other two games I was interested in were Rescue 911 and Checkpoint. Could someone give me an idea what those two machines would be worth? Seller said both were in better than average condition and both were working but would need to be shopped? What is he talking about when he says shopped?

Also I am a fairly small female so I couldn't move one of these machines myself. Seller said he would deliver but would need to charge extra for delivery & set up. What is a fair price to pay for something like that? He also said he could fully shop out either for $300 additional. That sounded expensive, is shopping out a pinball machine really that expensive? When I take my car for a lube & oil change they one charge around $40 and the is a big car not a little pinball machine.

An oil change is only a few minutes of labor.

Cleaning and shopping a pinball machine can take hours at least. They are sometimes complicated pics of equipment with hundreds of parts.

Honestly, it sounds like a good deal for someone who doesn't want to do anything their self.

But, just like an oil change, if you wanted to do it yourself, sure, it would cost less money. But half the fun of owning a game is tuning it up.

Welcome pin happy you think this guy has opened a can of worms the opinions on what all needs to be done to say a machine has been shopped is a shit storm all its own good luck with whatever pins you end up with

The pinside game archives have estimated values. 1200 each in this case.

Pin-happy nice to hear your story pinball is a awesome hobby !! There are a lot of friendly people that are very willing to help this is just a forum that created a lot of friction ! Don't worry about them they will get over it . I don't know if there is set price for moving one as evry move would be different . Get to know a couple people in your area that will help assist you in your search and pick up . There will be decent people in your area ! By the way you can check out any game at top of screen by putting name into search and will tell you estimateed value and any other info you need . Happy new year !!!!

You are coming off as a mental patient and absolutely nobody gives a shit about this or your imaginary stash of games anymore. Please go away.

Ignore this thread. This place is great if you just stay out of the nonsense and after you figure out who to pay no attention to.
The word shopped means different things to different people. To some it means tearing it down and cleaning and going over everything. To some it means slapping $15 of new rubbers. Ask questions here, make a thread about the machine you have in mind, the price they are asking and people will tell you what to look for and what the value is. Think of it as taking someone knowledgeable with you to look at a used car. Ha ha.

Pinball players in real life: usually pretty cool

Pinball players on Pinside: unbearable buttholes

You can't please everyone, you can never please Crazy Levi, Pinside is a popularity contest, sell and buy games from people you know and appreciate. Happy New Year.

With the introduction of Pin-happy to this thread, it's beginning to feel even more like a kenada constructed circus.

Does your ignore feature not work? How much shit do you really need to give a person?

Eh, op is a drama queen. There are threads that a few people will get fed up and finally call out an op, but this guy has brought new levels of ire. Short of someone like Jpop or Skit B, who else has managed to create such a shit show on here? Over what? Look at his initial list of still unpriced, unphotographed games that he has created 3 threads over. Best title is a BSD listed as a major project. This guy acts like he has gold and is doing the world a favor by gracing us with the chance of paying *market value* for crap he is flipping. In reality he is buying out an OP, making his profit, and frankly has a lot of junk to unload with a few decent titles here and there.

OP needs to see a psych and step away from the keyboard.

You could also, you know... drain the thread.

This is a DISCUSSION FORUM, right? People come here to talk about all things pinball. There is only so much to talk about when it comes to this thing of ours, though... so you either make posts about warehouse finds or you present your opinion-as-fact about the BM66 you haven't played.

My point is, if people keep giving shit to people who make threads they don't like, this place is just going to be a circle jerk of Crazy Levi O-Din Whysnow Iceman posts. I like a wide range of people's opinions, not just the same handful of posters posting.

Good. Now stop complaining and go make your profit.

<
At this point I don't give a rats ass who buys them. So no limit on number of machines or anything else - just down and dirty get them gone as quickly as possible so I can pick up the next load.
I woulda done that from the start then told the great story afterwards it was to bad your trying to be nice and give a heads up went awry
hopefully things go smoothly from here til there gone

Anybody want to take action on this?

I'm giving 2-1 odds he can't make it to Sunday Night Football.

Give it a rest, you bully.

It's just the same people piling on now. Toomanypins only post in the thread in the last 24 hours has been relevant info about his sale while the biggest whiners keep posting. The shoe is on the other foot.

And yet, they are not

https://pinside.com/pinball/community/pinsiders/too-many-pins/market

So does 99% of pinside

False. You WILL post again, and again, and again.

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/first-14-machines-for-sale-in-carlisle-pa-new-year-information

That list was already posted on one of the 10 other threads started by OP. Still no pics, prices or real info that people post when selling games.

I'm still waiting for vids guide to a storage find

Seems to need the attention, More then posting pictures or prices of the machines.

Welcome to Pinside. You can come on here daily and read the threads that are pertinent to your questions and/or your pins. Over the months/years, you will learn an amazing amount of info. As for charging you to deliver and set up the pin, it all depends on how difficult the situation is. Most likely he will have to bring a helper with him, and if the pin has to be hauled up a bunch of stairs, that is a chore! If it is a very easy entry place, all he has to do is put the legs on, raise the head and lock it in, add the pinballs, and plug it in. To me, that's a $50 thing.

FIRST THING I WOULD DO IS ADD YOUR CITY AND STATE IN YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION that displays near your avatar. That way, people in your area might be inclined to come by and offer a hand. I think it is vital to show your city on Pinside. Just knowing what state/country people live in lends a lot to identifying their personality.

Mike in kentucky

Since this is Pinside, I'm assuming this guy is going to be very busy taking pictures of shooter lanes.

GLWTS !
