Quoted from RCA1:

...is an attempt to avoid paying the fee for an ad.

Correct.

#8002 1 year ago
Quoted from RCA1:

I always assume that a "Thinking about" or "Will be listing" post is an attempt to avoid paying the fee for an ad. Or an attempt to run an auction. Or both.

Or a way to gauge interest on a sale/ trade before committing to sell a machine. There’s the market section if you want to browse what’s listed.

My personal take is that posts like that are to offer locals a chance before a public listing. Honestly, what is the purpose of this particular thread otherwise?

#8004 1 year ago

For instance I have a few machines I’d be willing to part with for the right trade. That doesn’t mean I want to list them individually for sale and explain to potential buyers that they are only listed conditionally. I have no problem keeping them either if the trade isn’t right.

Exactly.
It would be different if you could sort ads by distance/ state/ etc.

If you have nothing to do this weekend and can make it to Kalamazoo, PINBALL AT THE ZOO is happening! Lots of stuff gets bought and sold at the convention. I love how laid back it is. Lots of friendly and familiar faces PLUS an auction (NO-FEES )on Saturday afternoon. Post what you have for sale here and what you'll bring pre-sold!

Jump into the thread here!

#8007 1 year ago

I always "mention " my games going for sale to give local guys a chance. I didn't list my games yet because I realized it was Easter weekend about 5 minutes after I posted it. For the record I always pay if I sell through Pinside. I also encourage people I have bought from to pay.

#8008 1 year ago

Here’s the universal translation guide:

“Thinking of selling…” = look, people just don’t value this game as much as I do. It’s my prized possession and it’s gonna cost you your first born. Hit me up but expect a very high price.

“About to list xxx, PM me with interest before I list it” = I’ll probably be putting a reasonable price on this when listed because everyone will see it, but if you Actually PM me before I list it then I’m adding $500 you sucker!

“I’ve got some games I’m listing soon…” = look, they’ll be listed when I get to it. I have 7 kids, or a long honey to do list, or both. If you hit me up before I actually list, you just did me a solid and saved me time. Fair price coming at you.

#8009 1 year ago

I think there is one more.

Usually there is a post of a truck or trailer full of machines fresh from the wild, “Got a great deal on these” = pm me Before I spend the time shopping I might give you a deal!

That’s a good idea. Due to the extremely high prices on Shadow, I’m thinking of selling mine. No children accepted as payment, but I would take a very high price!

Seriously, this market is crazy.

Agreed ^ Hopefully they are honest and pay the fee

#8013 1 year ago

How about a slightly used girlfriend? Lol

#8014 1 year ago

“Thinking of selling…” = I bought ___ and have not received it yet to flip

“Thinking of selling…” = still trying to fix the board problem

#8015 1 year ago

Also, some people are just looking for emotional support and encouragement. This is a friendly site, we are all pinball people. “I’m thinking about listing my Whirlwind…”

“You can do it! Wax that baby up, clean those ball trails, and replace those cracked plastics and filthy flipper rubber. Vacuum all those crumbs, mouse poop and random screws from the bottom of the cab. Clear that credit dot and replace any burned out bulbs. Now create an accurate ad and list for a fair price that won’t earn you several down votes, and please include more than 5 low res pics. Now, list that game, Mister!”

Very supportive!

#8016 1 year ago

Also, I’m thinking about listing my Whirlwind.

#8017 1 year ago
Quoted from Pinkitten:

You can do it bud, we believe in you.

Shiner up and sell that puppy!

#8018 1 year ago
Quoted from Pinkitten:

I'm not thinking about listing mine, however always listening to absurd offers!

This market was "crazy" a year ago.

It has crossed over into "obscene".

#8020 1 year ago

I’d love to work out a deal/ trade for a DP Whirlwind if anyone has one.

#8021 1 year ago

I thought there was 20+ new games for sale when I checked this thread.

#8022 1 year ago

Any pictures of the playfield?

Is there anyone in Michigan that does quality playfield touchup work? Specifically just looking to touch up the “Return to Duty” portion of an STTNG. Too fine for me to attempt.

Everything in everyone's collection is "for sale". It's just that some games are more "for sale" than others.
