CL Zookeeper in NJ - Overpriced ?

**** This is the email I got from the seller ****

Hello,
I'm a buyer and seller of arcade machines. The ZOOKEEPER is one of 7 that were in a lot that I just purchased out of a storage unit
in Philadelphia. I use KLOV for reference, not a member. I saw that there are 34 VAPS members looking for ZOOKEEPER. I checked
Ebay's completed listings and only one ZOOKEEPER was sold. Even the marquee and other parts for this machine sell for quite a bit on
Ebay.
I'll have this in my possession this coming Tuesday. I put it on Craigslist to see how much interest is out there outside of Ebay. So far,
there's quite a bit. The machine is in working condition, after we move it to my storage unit, we'll go over everything once again. I'll play
it for awhile and enjoy it, then either contact those who are serious locally, or put it on Ebay.

I'm usually very fair in my pricing, on this machine however, I'm going to be piggish. In 5 years of buying and selling arcades, this is the
first ZOOKEEPER I've come across. I have college loans to pay!

I won't be letting this machine go at a bargain. If you have serious cash or room on a credit card for a PAYPAL purchase, let me know
what it's worth to you and I can send you detailed pics of the machine next week.

Have a great day!
PS... Also have a SINISTAR coming in from this lot. That seems to also be somewhat rare.
God Bless,
Mvc
 
"I won't be letting this machine go at a bargain." Really?

Between that and his comment about being piggish, methinks he will not be letting this go at all. What a doofus.
 
For his sake, he would be better selling it at a reasonable price "while" it is still working. Move this game an inch and it is liable to go down.
 
I sent a comment on CL. "drugs" His response is enlightening :)

LOL.

Was it DRUGS when someone got 1,640.00 for a ZOOKEEPER last month?????

If you don't ask, you don't get. 5,000 or BEST OFFER.

What is it about Craigslist that brings out lonely losers ?

Why do you feel the need to comment?

If you're not interested, move on. If you have a ZOOKEEPER, appreciate the fact that the value of the machine keeps going up.

People like you would have HOUSES still only costing 500 dollars as they once did in the 1930's.

Bunch of moronic aholes. In this case, WEINERS!


Have a great weekend douchebag.
 
Price-hyperdefensiveness is the greatest.

Works every time when someone is overpricing, and on some level of their diseased brains, they know it.

(for posterity)
