This is over. I'm wondering if anybody nearby may have bought them.

Only the Star Castle and Gorf mini seemed interesting to me. The way games around here have been selling recently didn't really make it too appealing.
It may have been difficult to sell off the other odd ones for even $150 here.

Choplifter

Which reminds me.... I have a nicely working Choplifter board for sale cheap. Anybody need one? How about a bootleg DK Jr board? Gals Panic II PCB/marquee/bezel_stickers? Super Pacman PCB?

You don't have a Super Pac Bezel do you?

Games not selling? By looking at the prices of arcade games on Charlotte's CL you'd think business is booming.

Yeah- new listings in Charlotte / Rock Hill EVERY DAY!! Of course, most of them have those stars in the title and are simply repeats from the last month or more.

I'll tell you one thing- I think all of those 'retail' game postings make casual sellers list their crap at higher prices than they would otherwise. Alas..

(I don't think a Mr Do's Castle is going to fetch $350, do you?)

I'll look for the Super Pac bezel. Chances are that I never had one.

It definitely affects the prices people list things for around here. But there's nothing I can do about it. Which reminds me; someone put up a pretty mean spirited post about in on CL a few weeks ago.

Anyway... thanks for keeping an eye out for the bezel.
 
I was working on a deal with another KLOVer from the area - got outbid at our "cap". It may have been worth it - depends on the "up close" condition of it all.
Yah, those ads in Charlotte with the "stars" have been there for the last 6 months that Ive been down here. apparently there's something "special" about that guys games - as they ftech a higher price, oh - and they dont sell!! LOL!
I filter his ads out in my CL search as I know hes not going to list a deal on anything.
Nice to meet another member from the area - Kstillin. :D

He's/They're a member here, you know.
 
well, I wasnt sure - most people usually say "thats (insert klov name here) ads - hes a member here too you know" or something to that effect. The way you posted let me assume it was you.
Anyhow, Nothing personal - just an observation from being here 6 months, checking CL regularly, and seeing the SAME ads in multiple CL areas at the same prices. Not price policing, however, I get tired of seeing those over and over, so my CL searches are filtered so I dont have too.
It could always be to my disadvantage as he may list something I am looking for and may be close to my range.
 
I think anyone in the Charlotte, Greenville, Columbia area are quite tired of the "star" ads being plastered everywhere

The CL post the lashed out on those ads was spot on

The prices are retail, we get it... The ads look nice too

But do they need to post 8 or 10 per day? And its the same games over and over..

The games are on E-bay too.. which is a perfect place for retailing games with the best exposure

CL was never intended for commercial use

Ok, Im done ranting..

Hmm - I guess I missed that - well maybe it got filtered as well - lol!:D
 
I didn't take it the wrong way... I knew what you were saying. I'm tired of seeing them myself- there I said it. It sort of gives people who are going to post a game on CL the wrong idea on what something's worth. Maybe it's my imagination, and maybe there's stuff like this going on in every other major city, and it doesn't affect prices one way or the other.

I've kept my mouth shut about it for a while, as not to piss off any people local to me.
Ahh....
so the door was left open for me to do it - LOL! Well if im gonna be good at something......:D
Yah, It does happen everywhere - this is nothing new. I lived close to Madison, WI and I would constantly see ads from Chicago area and Milwaukee being posted. I feel that people know what they are looking for, and if im looking for something im going to look at ALL of the nearby areas that im willing to drive too. When you see the EXACT same ad posted im multple areas is just SCREAMS retailer. Which isnt a bad thing - just not what Im personally looking for (or what CL is really intended for I may ad). Hence my opinion on filtering - saves me the hassle of having to deal with it and no ones offended -that is until I open my mouth on forum - :eek:
 
Who knows, maybe we'll see these same games in the ebay auction on CL with stars next to them in a few months.

Yeah I guess this kind of thing happens everywhere. Although I think several posts each day, every day is quite excessive.
 
Well, I think the 'star' ads on Charlotte are from klov'er lyonsarcade.
He's a friendly guy, but I don't think I've ever bought anything from him. I think he bought a couple of monitors from me a few years ago.

He used to go to the Winston-Salem auctions pretty regularly.

I found out who bought the Columbia games. Yeah, local guys. Maybe I'll get to see the Star Castle in action!!
