Quoted from rogerroger:I look in the marketplace frequently and notice people list their machine as only being for trade. I get this is a hobby for many, and when participating in a hobby, trading is done quite often. However, I don't understand why you would want to box yourself in when trying to get rid of one machine and pick up a "new" one. I can see offering it up for sale for a certain price and also offering it up for trade for a few desired machines in return. Obviously, to each his/her own. And not trying to bash anyone who only wants to trade.
What say you all?
For me, it completely eliminates the nickel-and-diming that happens when you try to sell or buy a game “oh, but this mod, and this was the only playfield made in the month of April that has this inspected-by sticker on it so it’s worth another $500”
The decision is - do I like the game more than the other game I’ve decided I’m tired of? And is it in reasonably similar condition? Ok cool let’s do this.
You wouldn’t trade a CQ game most likely - because the set of potential traders is so much smaller
