I'm sure this topic may have been brought up before, but does anyone else get sick and tired of the same ads being relisted every day? The worst ads have to be offering repair or conversion services and ones stating paying cash for games or will haul away your unwanted games for free. Even if a game is unwanted, most people are not going to just give it away, even if it is in non-working condition. Am I the only one that feels this way?

I could have gotten my Star Castle cocktail for free yesterday, couple just wanted it out of the house, I basically made them take $25 for it, it does happen so some people feel the need to ask I did not and wouldn't but I do see in some situations people give them away, it's better than throwing them in the garbage imo.
 
I've seen this before.....in CANADA. Not so much in the US.

Yeah, that was up here in Canada... But for what it's worth, cabs up here seem to be listed for more than when they are listed down in the US. Rarely see a cab for under $500, usually just shy of $1000. Stupid...

I've got a lot of free CL games over the years. And a lot of dirt cheap ones. They usually need a bit of work but I've gotten some really nice ones too. Just gotta be quick. But be prepared to take heat from people. Especially if you fix them and sell them fast. You gotta wait a couple months so everyone thinks it was a difficult fix or else you end up with hate mail. :)
 
There is definitely a lot of garbage on ebay, between the wanted ads, way overpriced conversion cabinets, and hack job 60-1's for $1K, it gets old quick. It seems like in Florida just about everyone thinks their games are worth 3X actual value, lol. I talked with this guy about his MK2 for a long time before he could get me pics, he talked about how it was an original cab and his price went all over the place.. from $500, to $300, now to $700 because I inquired about it, lol.. turns out the thing is a huge Piece of crap, lol

I talked to the guy on the phone about coming out to look at his original MK2 for $300, and he said sure and that he would call me back. The next morning, he listed it for $700 and didn't call me back.... and I swear I didn't pump up the game to him, I showed an interest and that was it.

Maybe original to him, lol. That is a piece of crap, even at $300 I wouldn't want it.

Speaking of living in dreamland. Check out what this guy thinks his UMK3 is worth...

I love how he justifies it by linking to another person auction, who is also living in dreamland. What the hell cab is that anyway? Wrestlemania? MK?
