But really this is what makes America great. It's the free market in its full glory.

Just out of curiosity, what about that bothers you? Honestly, I'm not trying to be confrontational or anything like that. I'm honestly curious how it negatively impacts you to have guys do that, given that you could go to the auction and buy the stuff cheaper if you wanted it?

How does this kind of thing affect the retail market in your area? Does it drive prices up or down? Does it affect demand?

I've always wondered this because I'm blessed or cursed (not sure which) by the fact that there are no game auctions real close to my market.

Thanks for indulging my curiosity,
John
 
I just find it to be decietfull to try and jack the price up on somthing you got for a 100 dollars and didnt put any work into. Then these ads sit on craigslist or ebay for months becuase everyone knows its overpriced except the seller.

o yea... and "thanks you"
 
That kind of activity has died around here, for the most part.

The economy here in CA is terrible and the market for the average arcade cab is lousy. Driving to an auction, buying the games, paying the buyer's premium, lugging them home and then expecting to make it worth your while to flip them for a substantial profit, has become a very iffy business model.

True...I figure profit is only $100-$150 per machine, but I enjoy the hobby. And that profit is after I get them working 100%. It's definately not a business model, it's just a way to have some fun these days.
