    Quoted from d0n:

    I usually have to unlist my games due to the pinside peanut gallery price police. I have NEVER shirked a fee on a game I've actually sold through pinside. I've also donated to pinside for no reason. So, lets keep this on topic and not turn it into a personal witch hunt.

    The point here though is that you are complaining they aren't using recent sales data, but you also aren't giving them any recent sales data. I understand if you didn't sell these machines on pinside, but how do you propose solving the problem of getting sales data if you yourself don't even sell games through pinside? Where should the data come from?

    You also have to factor in location. A Waterworld may be $2800 where you are, but is probably much less in bigger markets. Pinside includes everything. It has no mechanism for adjusting to your local market.

    Also, here are the "recent" sales ads for Waterworld that I see. One is $4000 for a "high level restoration". One is $2500, the rest are under $2000. This is the data. How do you propose we fix this?

    Hell, I'm looking at sales posts on one of the larger Facebook sales groups and they are all low $2000 or less. Waterworld ain't worth $2800 to most people in most of the country. You may be able to find someone to pay that, but that doesn't reflect the value to most people in the market.
