Did what I needed to do - sold enough the rest will fit into my existing storage units and that is all I cared about. Anyone that knows me knows I do nothing because of money - I hate money and our "more, bigger, better" mindset these days.
Now I just need to decide if I want to deal with the rest of the stuff or just offer the balance to Lloyd.
I just was trying to follow up on those machines. My wife and I were going to make an offer for both machines. I got the impression that he was not interested in any offers during our talk, so I just said we are going to be too far apart and walked away. I have dealt with alot of sellers and many of them are sometimes open to offers if they go unsold. I was only curious who he was to see if he still had them and wanted any offers if he didnt sell them. He was a very nice guy and I am not complaining about anything with regards to him or his machines.

Do nothing because of money.. hate money
Yet will put yourself through all this turmoil of moving games through several stages and places.. repeatedly.. because you couldn't get the price you wanted.
I can't reconcile these behaviors... (and I skipped the whole 'just get the game out for people' angle too)

Yet you want to recoup your costs by listing games at above market prices? I don't think you hate money that much.

Please, for the love of God and all that is holy, offer the balance to Lloyd.

I'll let the math decide that for me. Once I finally figure out where things stand "once the dust settles" I need to look at the numbers and decide if I want to do that much work again for that little cash. I hate the idea of turning it over to Lloyd not because I have anything against Lloyd himself but because a good bit of what Lloyd sells is going into containers and getting shipped out of the country.
Most of the local pinball guys know me and understand why I am doing this and they are really the guys I care about because I don't ship machines. Anyway - just got back from Allentown with the last load and unloaded here in Carlisle. Now it is time to see where things stand and let both sellers know what I want to do with the rest.
As far as your earlier comment - most "smart" people realize older people have had more life experiences and try to learn for them. Not so smart younger people already know it all.
I was talking to my buddy Jim (JT Amusements) on my way home and like he said "now at least you don't have to feel bad about parting machines out" - "you gave people a chance to buy what they wanted so now it is time to do what you need to with the rest".
