    Quoted from Trekkie1978:

    I met a couple people off Pinside a few years ago...they warned me how the buyers all have sob stories. Kid has cancer, wife is dying, etc...then 2 days later, the game will be listed for sale. He said they will come up with any sob story to get the price down.

    There are a lot of sketchy folks in this hobby and industry.

    Most were here well before the advent of the internet. The car salesman stereotype has nothing on these people.

    Quoted from Trekkie1978:

    So you say market will dictate the price...but then you get mad at people for selling their LEs when the market has shown its worth more than distributor pricing....
    Talk about one big contradiction.

    That isn't why he is mad.
