Hashman Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 IMVE - Did I miss something?!? Some people sell at what it owes them or less. Some people try to make a profit from their machines. Nothing new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So speak out...I'm getting sick of the back slapping when shit like this happens...."Oh great price, awesome machine", "xxx looks after his machines, can't go wrong" Are we the nanny state in here as well where we can't call bullshit on ppl for fear of lynch mob mentality??

This thread might not last too long but ridiculous asking prices get called out from time to time. People vouching for sellers and their reliability is no issue. But if someone puts a 15k Indiana Jones up here, for example, someone will say something. I think having the ability to comment on for sale posts at all is a plus.

Noob-A-Tron Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 AC/DC a classic example what people paid in 2012/2013 and what they want for them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryza Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Nothing wrong with the price. If people think it's too expensive they won't buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkOZLAD Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 No two pinballs are the same. Even location can matter. I remember there was a guy selling one from central WA. The shipping difficulties from there meant it was less desirable. Sent from my iPhone using Aussie Arcade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People can ask what they want. I'm just starting to see a lot of people deliberately trying to inflate prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryza Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Well people pay they think it's worth. Do you think all the 12k totans that sold this year's where bought for 12k? Supply/demand. The price it's worth is what someone will pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toastie Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 We just have to hope the majority of people on here are honest . I have sold machines at fair prices and I hope I can then buy at a fair price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most blokes on here cut through that crap and simply speak with their wallet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
