    I get sellers want to get rich and buyers want it for free. People REALLY don’t like revealing what they paid/ sold for.
    It’s the dirty little secret of pins .
    What’s the deal?

    Personally, I like the Price police.
    I’d like to think they help keep things honest.
    Seems unfair to pick up a pin, list another one of the same type for a crazy high price then list the same pin ( as a different seller) to justify asking price.
    It’s too bad we can’t be fair and enjoy a hobby without all the deception.
    People will charge what we someone is willing to pay. It just takes decent games out of the pool.
    Decent pins at a decent price seem hard to find...

    Quoted from leckmeck:

    There are many reasons. Here is one: knowledge is power, and it can be used as leverage against you.
    My friend sold a Gottlieb wedgehead for $3,500. It was not an especially rare title. He liked this game and didn’t want to sell it, but the offer on the table was irresistible. He took the money and set out to find the same game again. He kept this windfall sales figure largely to himself for obvious reasons: he doesn’t want to negotiate with another seller thinking their game is worth $3,500.

    That’s exactly my point.

    I’d sell my Cyclone , in its current condition for $4,000.00.
    I certainly wouldn’t buy it at that price but when I am ready to buy I do t want to hear “ that whAt one just sold for”

    Quoted from CrazyLevi:

    Lamo
    Dear lord. Here we go again.
    Surely we have more to offer each other than this conversation again?

    Sorry .
    Just feeling aggravated ....
