I normally try not to sell on CL that much but I thought I would throw up one of my Trons to see if I could get any bites. Had it listed at 1000 but figured I would be lowballed to 7-800 roughly. Anyway I get this email and of course I responded but would this have annoyed anybody here? Feedback much appreciated and i'll post my response.

I know you will instantly reject this offer, but this is in the event that no other buyers emerge, which might happen. I'll put up $200. I'm not looking to turn a profit or anything, i just want to play a classic game, but that price is not worth it. Arcade machines aren't too good of investments especially in this economy even with collectors. The movie that came out doesn't add much value to it either. That kind of buzz died months ago, and the movie didn't even do too well, plus this is a 30 year old piece of machinery; maintenance alone is going to screw me in the end. Arguably Space Invaders is sought out as much as Tron, but i've seen the same guy posting the same machine 4 times and still no one is taking his asking price of 400.
