    My favorite opener from a buyer: “what’s the lowest you’ll take?” Adults seriously do this. As if they were born yesterday.

    Quoted from Nevus:

    If the game is listed on Pinside, you have to choose.
    It would be great if there was an option not to choose, but there isn’t.
    This thread and many like it show how much people project on to sellers for simply picking a box.

    I don’t think you have to choose one. Just don’t check any and the ad will list without any of those specified.

    Quoted from chuckwurt:

    OBO maximizing sale price? How? I see that and immediately think I’m going to get this game for less than listed. Or sell this game for less than listed.

    For decades across all society, it has indeed meant “I’m flexible and may take less than asking price”. If a few dozen people in the pinball hobby have decided it means something else, then I can’t explain that. We are weird, I guess.
