You've been spamming CL Detroit with these things for weeks and you have offers on two that are a few hundred less than your asking price? It would seem that you should take the offers you have in hand, as they are fair prices for games with little description of their cosmetic or working condition.
 
Cool. Bash me for trying to conduct a business. Can't sell 100 items in a week, sorry. Also, spamming would mean im posting multiple ads, I post in a few cities; one ad, not twenty.
 
Wow, one comment and you get all pissy and send me threatening PMs. Grow up. I'm not getting my posse to go meet you somewhere to fight.

You have posted at least 20 times on CL the same list. It's old, dude. Everyone in Detroit knows what you have for sale. So what you're getting flagged? Everyone gets flagged on Detroit CL! It's impossible to sell stuff without the handful of idiots (almost all retailers, like you, btw) who flag ads to either get stuff that is posted at a great price or discourage competition. Frankly, your rants to me sound alot like a couple of these more famous jackasses.

I posted a comment simply because I hate the tactic that some people, usually retailers, use, "Game X is for sale for $$$, but I'm taking offers. I do already have an offer of $$$, so keep that in mind when you make an offer." Just put up a damn price or use MMAO. This isn't ebay.

Good luck with your sales and consider your price points if your stuff isn't moving after months of posting the same ads. (I guess I need to retract this last part since edx2x said he sold 56,000 games in the last month. Yes, boys and girls, he's sold approximately 1900 games a day! Where does one keep 56,000 games?)

This guy is spamming, er, advertising nationwide. At least his prices are a bit lower here than they were on craigslist.
 
I said I sold 56k in MONEY not games, fool. I don't spam, I post and repost because assholes flag me, totally different thing. I post one ad per city in about 9 cities in 4 states, theres something wrong with advertising? I have what you guys call "higher prices" as I have bought these almost all NEW and I make a living off this stuff, its not a hobby like you guys. I can't believe how people I don't even know have balls to post nonsense on forums and craigslist but can't confront me in person? Grow up or get jobs guys.

There's a little button that you can use to report those private messages to the moderator staff... Look for the:

and click it.

We do not tolerate threatening messages in PMs. Please report them accordingly.

Thanks,

I have no dog in this fight, but CL policy is you may post an ad in ONE area => your area. Once the same (or similar) ad is posted in a second area, it is spam.

Again, I'm just trying to explain why you are being flagged.
 
I understand what you're saying gutz, I was only posting once in my area until I couldn't stay up without being flagged for more then 10 minutes. What I said to you was hardly a threat, some people are cry babies.
 
Stop being a douchebag who threatens his customers and you might have a better shot at selling your over priced garbage...
There is NO reason to advertise in a different STATE except for the fact that you are
A. Overpriced for your market
B. Pissed off your local customer base
C. An idiot

Welcome to KLOV
 
You must know it all.... retard. I post in other cities as my ads don't stay up in MI. No ones ads do. Which games are over-priced? And who says they are? Who are you the person who oversees the pinball ceiling? LOL Let me guess you still think MM is worth 3000 right?
 
You should stop with the name calling, its not going to help you sell any games here.

Hey ill agree to that, I didn't ask for people to start bashing me the first time I post on here. I already told you I don't like to argue, im a nice guy, but when people are posting in my for sale threads total nonsense what do you expect me to do? People are still interested in the games regardless of what other people say. I have had a bunch of inquires here and on the other forums. I also have operators and dealers buying games off me, they can't be too highly priced like you say... But Its thanksgiving Im not going to argue anymore, things got out of hand yesterday, I just can't believe all of the local pricks on this site particularly. Happy thanksgiving smackaho and everyone else, im done with the BS. Hate me if you want, but I have had many people interested in all of my things, if they don't sell for what im asking, I'll happily drop the price more. Can't blame me for trying to get good money on my stuff as I paid good money for it. I have seen every game I own go for more then im asking.

Happy thanksgiving, no more bs! I do apologize too, but people set me off, the first time I ever post here I have to deal with that crap, and its not cool.
 
Here is the problem, and it's apparent on most forums (and I have had to deal with this as buyer and seller and as collector and retail/wholesaler)

The rules of the forum say you can't call out anyone's pricing regardless of what that person may think of it.

It is in bad taste to start calling people names because it's a small community, and word will get around quick to "not" purchase so and so game. Regardless of whether or not the game sells you "may" have been able to get more for it from another customer but said customer may have seen these posts or heard about said attitude, etc.

I have had this same problem on Pinside. In fact, instead of dealing with "send me an offer" posts on a trade item I posted I put fair offers out there for games ($2300 on Tales from the Crypt) ($1700 on Flintstones, etc) and I get screamed at by people who aren't even buying the machines or are trying to make sure "their" machines are still worth more, yet in another thread people are lowballing one guy saying his Tales is only worth $1700. I mean, it's pretty ridiculous how this works but the bottom line is this:

Most people are not serious buyers, they are window shoppers or internet trolls, etc, but you can't get caught up in that. Your reputation is what matters the most and it works both ways. I politely and kindly ended my thread and jotted down anyone that talked down to my pricing. Without mudslinging I took down the names and the name of the business in Michigan that did the very same thing talking down to me on my own game for sale when they are a retailer.

See, the thing is, I buy a lot of pinballs and I can choose not to shop with whoever I want to at any given moment, but each party should play nice and abide by the rules.

Money talks and bullshit walks but you still have to have a professional attitude regardless of whether or not forum rules have been broken.

Just my 2 cents.
 
really? really!? this is how people behave now. everyone of you,and you know who you are should be ashamed of your behavior in this thread.my god grow up and act like adults.
 
Hey, I apologized, I did nothing wrong by posting my things up for sale, I had three-four people right off the bat telling me my prices are too high and im a spammer. I went off a little yes, but thats because no one deserves that the first time they post something for sale. Also, I posted these games here for the KLOV community, I can sell them easily locally, I just chose to see if anyone here was interested; and yes I did get alot of PMs. I was merely defending myself. If you don't like my price, ask if I will go down a bit or what they lowest is I will take. Don't call me dumb and say Im a spammer. If my games don't sell for the prices listed don't you think I would have to lower the prices anyhow if I couldn't sell them? Yes, I would. I dont have to move these things quick, so I post for what I believe they are worth, and what I see them sell for left and right. Like I said if its too high of a price for you, just move on. Maybe next month the price will drop if I still have it. Also, you can't buy these from your local grocery store, so if someone wants a specific title they will pay you what you want. Its thanksgiving, happy thanksgiving, im not arguing with anyone on here today. I already said sorry to the people I was rude to, but I would have never been rude if I was treated like a normal person. Big deal if im an operator. Doesn't mean you can bash me left and right. I am a collector too. I have 10 more pinballs ill never sell that aren't up for sale. These are the ones im willing to move, and those prices are the prices I want. If I don't get it, its my loss, not anyone elses. My original posts were not that ridiculous and they didn't hurt anyone. Yes, I made a bad choice and said some rude things after to people who were trolling in my threads, but that would have never happened had people just left my posts alone and let me try to sell my things for what I want (is that not a fair thing to do?) Once again, if you have an offer for a game, send it my way. Maybe I will take the offers I had for my games, but it doesn't mean I can't see if theres someone else out there that wants it for more money first.

Happy Thanksgiving.
 
Enough of this crap.

Edx2x, thank you for your words. Please try to abide by them and stay above the BS.

Everyone else, leave the CL crap on CL. If someone comes here and starts posting, give them courtesy of NOT bringing CL crap onto this forum. If a CL spammer spams here then report the posts and we will deal with it. You are not the CL police and we don't need the drama of CL policing brought here.

This thread is now closed because of arguing and price policing.

Edx2x, start another thread to list your games.

Everyone else, please stop the price policing and thread crapping.

Thank you.
