What are you going on about? That shit won't hold up in court. He could tell them anything, the tube broke, I accidentally busted the game up with a sledgehammer, I accidentally gave the game to the salvation army, I forgot my brother really owns the game, the cops stole it from me, blah blah blah.
All this legal advice on this forum is ridiculous. Print all the emails and lock them up in a safe? What? How much shit have you sold? I've sold probably 10 thousand items in my life to people. I've probably talked to 50 thousand buyers, I DONT HAVE A SINGLE FUCKING EMAIL IN MY SAFE. LOL
It is hard as hell to sell games right now in my area. I sold this Burgertime for $550 earlier this year:

And I had to drive it with me up to the Allentown Pinball show to get it sold. I was headed there anyways but regardless...
This title used to fetch $800 regularly but nowadays its hard to get that coin unless the game is super mint or restored.
If my game looked like that I would have kept it Simply beautiful.

I was already offered $1000 for my fully restored one.

Simply beautiful.Agreed. If the guy didn't say OK I'm in for $450 in an EMAIL then there is no contract. You can offer up something for sale and take it right off the market with no repercussions. Just because you offer something for sale doesn't mean it has to stay for sale. Get while the getting is good I say!
Actually that is not correct, they have clear emails where they were haggling over price, the price was thrown out as a meet in the middle figure,.
* until a verbal talk or email canceling the proposed sale it is still on as a contract. I didn't pull this crap out of my azz watching judge Judy....until one of you guys have actually sat down with a Attorney and are involved with a suit you really are offering Jerry Springer couch advice.
you can say anything you want it fell over tube died whatever...bottom line if your called to court for damages you will be under oath to tell your side of the story if you can bold face lie in court so be it.
Seriously guys not trying to be jack azz here or start a stupid argument not my style, just relaying a personal experience that cost me thousands of dollars and allot of stress in my life, I hope no one has to look down the barrel of a lawsuit that is for real and in motion…not good times!.... I was merely offering some advice to maybe save a guy from a hassle is all.
Peace, B.

That's fine you are definitely welcome to your opinion. Did the buyer accept the terms? What's to stop the seller from selling to another person? Are you saying because an offer was put out there that the game is in limbo until the buyer says yes or no?
The way I read this thread an initial offer by the seller was put out there. the buyer states that he wants to spend less. The seller states this is the price and then nothing else. That is not a contract, that is a stalled negotiation.
sad but true until a formal "no deal, not for sale", message is given to the buyer verbally or email.
The tone of the guys reply about the game and trying to lowball him screams weasel….weasels usually know how to get things from people and navigate the law as well as a attorney or better. He may have gone away or not……my deal was very similar….I went ahead and sold the car…guess what Mr. weasel emailed wanting to pick the car up two weeks later..I said no deal…he reminded me of the emails, I said so what, go away, no deal, anyway I sold it……guess what…the short story is,
I was on the hook to provide him with said car at the price on the last email or pay up in cash the cars street value by bluebook so he could buy what/comparable to what we had agreed on…which was twice what it sold for…….called the attorney for advice, that's when I was brought up to speed on the deep stuff I was standing in, and the weasel was not messing around………had to buy the car back from the guy I sold it to, more money than I sold it for… lots of begging….had to sell it to the weasel....cheap....pay attorney…. This was all over a 3k car……*weasels want what they want don't matter if it's a 50 dollar arcade board or 50k collector car.
not my opinion, it's the Law in the state of Washington for sure....yours may very but I doubt it, the contract thing is very strong being verbal, written, handshake. the courts and attorneys don't mess around when it comes to one, serious stuff.

I did send an e-mail last night, explaining that I hadn't heard a response from him in 6 days, and since I hadn't heard anything I assumed he was no longer interested. I gave him until this Sunday to get in touch with me and told him, if I heard before then and he still wanted the deal, it had to be picked up before Thursday, August 25th or I would consider the deal off. Guess we'll have to wait until Sunday to see what transpires.
