Quoted from d0n:Honestly, it's really difficult to sell a game through pinside. Mostly due to the pinside average game values being so far off. Then, based on the incorrect average values... the price police trash the game, the asking price and the seller in a subsequent attached forum post that all potential buyers see, most buyers aren't local and want shipping but most sellers don't want to ship, sellers want cash on the glass not an electronic payment etc etc etc.
But there are obviously LOTS and LOTS of sales on pinside each month. Those sales could be better categorized and data compiled & presented for members in a more useable way.
Sorry but that’s not really true. We have sold some 15 pins over the last two months via pinside (listed on one of our volunteers accounts not mine). The bottom line is you want high dollar and complain when people aren’t offering high dollar or considering the amazing deals you are offering that pinside is ruining your sales with artificially low estimated prices. A machine is worth what it’s worth. If you list it and someone pays it then it is worth that amount. If they don’t then it isn’t. We listed at or just below the estimated price. Money left on the table ? Sure. But I didn’t have 15 pins just sitting there waiting to get my price. And before you go saying that we are just throwing cash away here, I have some 15 video cabs listed elsewhere. Only sold a handful. Why ? Well pins are more sought after, but honestly because my prices are too high. Now I can argue all day long that the cabs are worth more sold off as parts (they are) or that I paid $X (and I did overpay thru coinopwarehouse that gets sales at prices nobody else seems to achieve), but it’s all irrelevant. People will pay what they think it is worth. If it’s sitting and you don’t want it to sit then lower the price.
