Atari Posters for sale.

Jeff F was looking for a BZ poster and I suggested that he contact you. If he passes, let me know and I will make an offer - if you can roll up the BZ poster I can pick it up from you at CAX and fly home with it.

if you have an idea in your head of what the minimum offers should be, then include that in your original post. I'm sure that like me, 90% of the people here have no idea if these are worth $20 or $200, so if you just say "make an offer", I'm not sure what your expectations are.
 
Please tell everyone what you're looking to get from these items. I really get sick of "make an offer" BS.

Do these interest me? Yes. But not of you're going to treat me like a twat-waffle by telling you what they're worth to ME.

Are you looking to retire on a tropical island from 30 year old arcade schwag, or what?

FULL DISCLOSURE: I have not bid anything for these items.
 
Twat Waffle is tasty.

No offense Scott, but if that's your reaction to the responses on this thread, you weren't terribly interested in selling these items in the first place.

I've been genuinely appreciative of your sharing of Atari information based on your past acquisitions of their material, but think you set yourself up for a Fail on the way you chose to post this poster sale (and your reaction to the responses you received.)

Sorry, but the whole, "make an offer" thing is just a waste of time.

I sent a pm asking what he was looking for, and of course, got no reply.

Thing is, I have no clue. If I offered $20 each, is that too low? I'd rather not waste someone else's time by sending an offer that could be perceived as "lowballing".

If you have some idea of what you would like for each poster, just put it down (or say so in a pm reply.) At that point, the person can say, "Sounds good" or "Thanks, but that's a little more than I'm looking to spend."

Thing is, the same reason you (or anyone) doesn't want to list a price is because they might receive an offer higher than the price they listed. Then they missed out on that extra cash. But on the flip side, if someone offers $50, and you were willing to sell it for $30, then they got screwed.

It's almost cyclical in nature.

So, I can appreciate that you don't want a host of idiots wasting your time, but the attitude is a bit of a turn off.

If you know what you'd like to sell them for, just post it or respond in a pm. That way, you at least get what you want.
 
I recently learned that these posters are quite valuable to the right people. I'm sure he got lots of $20 offers (I would do the same thing if I didn't know better), and then got all butthurt about it. Whatever.
 
Offers on these posters should of been $100+ from what I have seen in the past. Even that might of been an insult. My understanding is that a mint original Major Havoc poster just sold for over $1000.00.
