If your selling a pinball machine do a little research.

1- Just because you have a pinball machine doesn't mean your sitting on a gold mine.
2- If it's not working it's not worth much If it's an EM (score reels and chimes.} under $100 a SS (digital) under $200. and trust me it's never just a fuse or an easy fix for somebody who know how to work on these things.
3- If you have a machine like El Toro or some Bingo machine check out this website IPDB.org and you will see the rattings on these games are very low and they are undesirable. worth under $100
4-- Listing your machine every other day or week at the same high price isn't going to help sell it. It just annoys people. Lower your price to a reasonable amount and you might sell it.
5-If your Machine has no backglass or a homemade one or the cabinet has been repainted it's worth under $75
6-Just because you seen a machine like yours listed on Ebay for some outrageous price doesn't mean it sold for that amount. And if it did It more than likely had been gone through by a tech or somebody just got ripped off.
7 Don't hack up a pinball machine and make furnature out of it and try to sell it for $400
Thanks and have a nice day



it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests

If I didn't know any better, it sounds like something you posted yourself. You know, a little self help guide, educational tool for all those sellers out there. Its pretty funny though.
 
It does sound like something I would say. But I wouldn't want a bunch of emails from people going off on me.And I would'nt low ball anybody as much as that guy.

Someone needed to say it, people around here think they are sitting on gold mines, like that guy said.
I know There was a machine listed on CL for $350 and I sent an Email to the guy and offered $250. I got an Email back and all it said was Go F**k yourself.

WOW. I find some people asking me if I'd take less, to test the water, and when I refuse (which isn't often) they still bite at the price I want. He might have killed a potential sale.

Wow,what an absolute douchebag.Who would want to buy something from that person anyway? The dude who posted it probably stole it and was trying to get the most he could so he could score some more rock or go pick up a couple of transvestites.
