OP
Quoted from too-many-pins:

CLIMB INTO MY SHOES AND SEE IF YOU WOULD POST PICTURES YET. I asked people in my first post please do not PM me about these and yet I have gotten over 50 emails so far in less than 2 days. What do you think would happen if I posted pictures and people actually knew what titles I was selling?

I kind of ask myself the same question about why the thread exists.. I get being excited about it.. but if you start a thread about all the games you are going to be selling.. and have no info about it... it seems pretty premature.

But I mainly started this thread because I had a little time to kill over the past couple days due to dental surgery Tuesday[

I'll blame the drugs then

OP
Quoted from too-many-pins:

This is a post about dozens of pinball machines that are coming up for sale on a pinball forum. Isn't that what a pinball forum is actually for?

Sure, but you can't be surprised about which way it's gone given the conversation and details...

Post a date, time, and location.... have your own little auction. If you are serious... you show up. That satisfies your locals angle.

If it doesn't sell, put up an ad and take them in order they come in.

I really think you are setting yourself up for some unnecessary pain because doing things based on timing, but no money, no photos, long distance, etc... your just going to end up with so many variations.

People who want to buy Ned to put up or shut up. You don't want to deal with everyone's excuses x 50...

Quoted from dmbjunky:

The only problem I see with a public auction is the original seller might feel ripped off if he sees the prices of what the games bring

Then they could have sold it piecemeal by themselves. The whole reason people score warehouse raids is because you 'take the lot' and free the owner from dealing with it. Be it time, effort, or whatever... the original owner is selling in bulk and knows with common sense they aren't getting optimal dollar compared to selling piecemeal.

Sounds like the owner is getting more than they normally would anyways. Warehouse junk is more junk than gems.. its why they are in the warehouse to start with.

Quoted from too-many-pins:

You know what I am done with you guys! Maybe I'll have stuff ready next week or maybe it will be a year from now - if you can't understand why I listed these here or why I can't get stuff done sooner by now there is no sense me posting any more!

You keep saying that.. yet have made 97 posts in the thread. People see 30 new posts.. click on the thread.. and its just more recycling of the same stuff. You are fueling it yourself. Just let it be till you actually have for sale ads.

Holy cow....

Photos? Pick your free hosting service of choice. This is not hard
Listing Ads? Pinside has them

This didn't need to be 400 posts or sixteen different theories

Either do an in person auction or sell the games via ads

But for god sakes stop posting in this thread
