Quoted from LORDDREK:People like that only regurgitate enough to support their position. They are not going to give out the whole story.
I had a guy here dispute the history of and claim all sorts of intimate knowledge of a machine I ended up getting weeks after it was listed because the seller was getting low balled and was firm on price. I mentioned he must have lowballed the seller and the dude popped a gasket. Denied and deflected by attacking my character. Pretty sensitive reaction from someone who made claims to the contrary…
“Thou doth protest too much, methinks.”
Oh yeah, speaking of people who lie and don’t give out the whole story just to badmouth and shittalk people they don’t know, YOU!
Here’s the actual quote “LORDDEREK” is lying about and claiming a machine with 88 THOUSAND on the coin meter is HUO
Quoted from LORDDREK:LOL! Ain’t that the truth. In the one year I have been collecting half of my pin purchases have some sort of direct connection between them. And I’m not talking “Hey I know a guy selling a machine” but more like “You bought that? It used to be mine” so yeah wicked tight knit community.
And back to the total play thread I bought a Solar City EM up on the Canadian border that was HUO since 1980 in a pottery studio. It was full of quarters and the coin mech was fully operational yet the counter read 88 thousand plays. The switch contacts were hardly used and inside the cabinet looks like the day it came off the factory floor.
So yeah total plays are not always what they seem…
Quoted from LORDDREK:Yeah well it is what I was told and regardless condition matched the tale. I have a routed EM with a third the plays and everything looks it. But hell I have only been at this a year so what do I know.
You must have been one of those low ballers the guy was complaining about. After seeing it without even opening it (no key) and not powering up I happily gave him the $500 he was asking. Got it home and it was just a pinched power cord…
And here is my calm response “blowing a gasket” claiming I lowballed for a game I never wanted, but just knew the original seller. What is up with people?!
Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:Lol, what? No, I didn’t want it, nor did I offer. Congrats on the pickup, glad you’re happy with it. Not sure why you’re so randomly aggressive on every thread. But as you will learn, that doesn’t get you far in this hobby, good luck!
Buyer beware, we’ll probably see a thread like this in the future when mister <1y sells his mint HUO 88k play game
