welcome to KLOV

we all bitch about prices, but no one hates them when they post something FS (imagine that!)

for what it's worth, the massive price spikes are a relatively recent thing, so the folks that have been in this a decade or more are having continued and sustained sticker-shock at where prices have gone

edit: I should have said (to be clear), nothing against you at all OP. congrats on the purchase! prices are what they are :)

Call BS all you want man. Cossackwarrior knows who I am we did business before. I'm in Canada and a real person. I won this, so not understanding what the issue is here. What I notice about KLOV is the majority of people here are very cheap when they want to buy, but when they want to sell it's another story.

For example they want to buy a TIT for cheap and make posts like this one omg can't believe this and that meanwhile when it's time to sell on here I get members refuring me to eBay well it last sold on eBay for this or that etc, but when it's to buy the eBay price doesn't matter anymore it's the KLOV price that matters.

It's getting harder and harder to sell something on here without giving it away. My last two sales I made nothing I just sold the items for the price of shipping because nobody wanted me to make not even a cent. I had the attitude at least it's preserved and not thrown away and that's what made me feel better about the packing them and driving to the post office.

i did that with a friend who was selling something and he asked me to outbid the guy so we could start a bidding war.

so i won the final bid and he sent second offer to the next in line guy and got more money and paid cheaper ebay fee since he started his item at 99 cents.

Cool so you shill bid someone...fantastic! Probably someone here on this forum care to share the item # so the person you bent over at least gets a reach around?

Yup, I've only been in it for a year and a half. No bitching here. I'm quite used to the current price market. :D

Like someone else said, supply and demand. And there are more and more people getting into retro gaming these days, especially 90's stuff. My generation has disposable income now and blah blah blah.

Your one to talk about the reach around...




And for all intents and purposes, this is another non-us collector getting tired of waiting, and bidding a crazy amount to finally get what they want.


This is almost double what tit boards have sold for on here, and like 5-7x the amount that canadian arcade forum that islandpirate was banned from will even think about letting you list for.


What gets me is this.... T.i.t. was not that much more of a fun game...

It like the pinball machine.... Gets old quick.

I agree with you I spend money on my hobbies. Some of us on KLOV have careers not jobs. Extra $100 is no big deal

I think many on here are operators. If I want it / need it I pay up.

I have in the past given a deal or two to people on the site. One said he needed it. Saw it on Ebay a day later.

Just deal local now.

Congrats on a cool PCB if want to sell it you wont be out more than a $100 and will likely make a buck or two if that matters.
 
I'm going to be selling less and less on here I think because just nobody wants to pay when I try to sell something, but when it's time for me to buy on here I pay through the nose. I'm getting tired of it. Be smart list on eBay so I could return the paying out the nose favor.

I buy on here

Seller look it went on eBay last for this price.

I sell on here

Buyer look how much it sold on here last.

Me but but but look on eBay

Buyer nope I'm not paying that the correct price is from here not eBay.

Sadly, that's the way things run here. Here on KLOV there are the cliques who will threaten to kill your children if you dare use a non-original screw on a monitor frame. There's the clique who thinks that prices should be exactly what they were 20 years ago and should NEVER change. There's the clique who wants to brag about their rare pieces and gets upset when more of those pieces show up and make them less valuable. There's the clique who only cares about making money and will fuck over whomever they can. There's the rich clique who are able to travel thousands of miles on a whim to pick up a rare cabinet and then put it in storage for years until they finish their 10,000 square foot basement, and all the while they can't comprehend why folks don't just go five states over to pick up a cabinet.

It's easier to just not respond to many of the threads where those cliques are getting into their middle-aged arcade gang battles. Heh.
 
Hey dude, wasn't trying to shit on your win...congrats. I thought you were joking. People bid up auctions they start all the time, thought that was the case.

Games and parts are worth what people are willing to pay. I over pay for stuff all the time if it's something I really want, no harm in that.

Enjoy your TMNT...cowabunga! :)

I would rather sell here. I ask what I want. If you do not like it, do not buy it. I do not want to sell working stuff on e-bay and have something else returned in it's place.

This is still a relatively small community that you can rat out the scammers.
 
I'm glad this didn't escalate.

Congratulations sfernandes. I thought I did pretty well bidding up but those last second high bid gets me every time, REALLY got me this time. Anyways, enjoy the game. It's one of my favorites. Do you have an original cabinet you are putting it in? Something built?

Congrats on the win, I know that I've paid more for games I've wanted than people here would be willing to pay but hey it's your money, if it's something you want and don't have a problem paying for then who cares what other people think. Prices have gone up substantially, heck look at my old FS Post. I used to buy Irem M92 boards for $50-$65 a pop, In the Hunt used to go for around $100 when I was looking for one, this one on ebay went for $358.70 inc shipping. All I have to say is that those of us who have been in the hobby long enough to have gotten great deals can count ourselves as being lucky but those times are almost long gone and the new prices are here to stay for now. Enjoy your board.
