I'm new around here, but I have a question. I live in a fairly small town with maybe 5 or 6 fellow collectors. A guy posted on CraigsList about a storage unit with 7 games in it. I went to look at the games and ended up buying all 8 for a good price. Not a steel, but an Ok price. The games were Pacman, Asteroids, Popeye, QBert, Galaga, Crystal Castles, and a Joust pinball game. I don't know much about pins and it looked to me a lot like those cocktail pinball games that aren't worth much. So when a collector/friend came over to look at the games he saw the Joust pinball and said he had been looking for one for a while. He offered me $350 for it which at the time I thought was a fair deal.
I then found out a few weeks later that the Joust pinball game was worth quite a bit more. At first I felt taken advantage of but then I decided to give the guy the benefit of the doubt especially since he wanted to keep the game. Well I just found out that he sold the game a few weeks back for over $3000!
To be truthful I feel a little taken advantage of. I mean if this guy wasn't a friend I would have probably researched the value of the game before selling it. And its not like he is my best buddy or anything just another guy who also likes arcades and we have bought and sold games from each other in the past. Am I wrong in feeling this way?
