This one takes the cake. I love the reverse psychology pitch:

"Does my price seem high? Maybe. You see, I don't really want to sell this machine, but I thought I'd throw out the idea, just in case someone was dying to own a beautiful, original Ms. Pacman arcade machine. This one is about as beautiful as they can get in unrestored condition. It spent its first year in public use and still has the state gaming stamp on the side. After that, it went into a family's private game room and never got beat up, dented, scratched, abused... no cigarette burns or missing artwork. The marquee is perfect, the side art is beautiful... the monitor has some burn-in, but is still the original monitor. The only thing that was changed on it were the front and real cylinder locks for a new key.
So, yeah, I know this probably won't sell at my FIRM $1500.00 asking price, and I'm fine with that. I love this machine and want to keep it. But, I'm moving in six months, and thought to myself, "If I ever DID sell it, this might be the best time, so I don't have to move it." So, you want a rare, unmolested, iconic, fun-as-heck video arcade game that's over 30 years old? Now is your chance! Email me or call me at 214-five, three, five-1062 and ask for Jason. Thanks!"
