    I don't think it's completely black and white like that. Some people may know the value of it, but most do not unless they are really, really into it. To me, no pinball machine would be worth $5k, but I would spend $500. This is not to say that machine doesn't sell for $5k- I don't know, and I'm not insulting you. In the past, I've been to arcades where there was crazy prices on the stuff- I think there may be some way around paying taxes on them if they are "for sale" but (wink, wink) not really...

     

    Maybe when someone does that, you could turn it around on them a bit and say- "Well, I couldn't sell this one for that amount because it's a very valuable machine, but if $500 is what you have to spend, could I help you find something in your price range". You can't assume they are just trying to "rip you off". :)

     

    If you go into a new car lot or collector place, you have to be prepared to have some type of "idea" without making yourself look silly. Hence the $500 people wanting pinballs all the time. You can't go into Toyota and expect to buy a car for $3000. You have to do your due diligence on that. Completely on the buyer. Having them play "I didn't know" is not even an excuse.

     

    I always tell people that the prices of pinballs is wild. The price range helps and I do ask that often, but if your budget is $500-1500 expect a project at the very least or an old machine that may need to be fixed more often just because of the age of the item.

    I use best offer on many high dollar auctions that I have (if I have something of high value for sale) and I use the auto decline for a certain amount because, well, to me it is offensive being offered $50 on an item that is wroth $500. I don't even think people are clueless about it. They want something for a deal to resell. You have many people wanting to purchase stuff on eBay to resell in THEIR stores. Happens all the time. Yet these same people making these offers sometimes will flip out and honestly think that the person with said item for sale is really wanting their initial crazy amount, make posts on Facebook or the internet about it, and not see what the big deal is making "joke" offers to try and be funny in said forum. Heck i have seen these people also freak out about "shipping/handling" eBay charges "it is supposed to be included in your starter price" but don't see the point of why a lowball offer would seem offensive.

     

    The bottom line is the seller should have an auto decline option for something like this and it would not have happened.

     

    I have people come in my arcade that offer me $500 for $5000 pinball machines. We call those people "time wasters." Those aren't people looking for deals and "you can't blame them for trying", it's obvious what they are trying to pull.

    72,000, lol lol lol???

    The game is basically a Official Rom Hack, would be a lot different if it was a prototype of a famous game like Mario

     

    Negative. The game was released by Bandai in Europe, North America, and Japan. Only in the US did it change to to World Class Track Meet after Nintendo obtained the North American release rights and repackaged it. World Class Track Meet is the variant. Not this.

    I looked on ebay and stumbled on Nes Stadium Events for 72k. It was a auction on ebay that I saw made by Dreamtr! I really never heard or gave a shit to know who he really was or was about,however once I noticed the price of this game and what his asking price was,I totally lost it! There is no way that even a mint or new copy of a North American NTSC copy of nes Stadium Events can get up to 72k. It didnt sell,nor did I expect it to.

     

    Sure my offers were small,but that was just to test out what his reserved rate was.He said he wouldnt do less than 50,000 usd,lol. There is not a person out there,not even a filthy rich person would pay that price. What do you think a fair price would of been?

    The reason my "high priced stuff" has been taken down is because...well, they sold.

     

    I have been doing this a very long time with rarity 10 stuff. I don't like selling my things. But if someone makes me a good enough offer, then it will be sold and I can search for it again and help someone else out that may need money by making them a great offer as well. On top of that I have a 4 year old who will need money for college. It all ends up to my kid anyway but all I can say is there are a lot of "private" individuals out there that want things and I am very reputable and when it comes to "authentic" items, people know what they are getting from me. There is no mystery to that. With that all being said I am not going to reveal what that sold for and a handful of other things but I can honestly tell you that when you say "no one will pay blah blah" for something when there is no market value for items of 10 rarity that come up it just reeks (with all due respect) of being naive to the situation of value of these items.

     

    How many people flip out on Atari stuff that rarely comes up and 5 figures are handed out. Is that ok then? The point is I know what I am doing and the item sold. I don't really have anything high valued up on eBay anymore like that nor will I ever need to anymore at this point since they sold.

     

    Also, and just a clarification for Atari Age/Nintendo Age. I recently had an experience with at least 5 members of Atari Age attacking me on the Atari Age Marketplace forum because i put bounties up wanting certain games (boxes) for the 2600 that I am willing to pay high dollar amounts for (and honestly if you know Atari they aren't really that much more than market value "perceived" with someone basically stating I was "bragging" and such and another guy saying I was reseller scum and the Justin Bieber of 2600 stuff. No one sees post of when I sell or not sell stuff or even obtain stuff. I don't have a YouTube channel I don't care about anything other than collecting my stuff. I have never seen so many people follow my threads and then think they know the type of person I have because I collect video game antiquities at times. It's the most middle school petty stuff I have ever witnessed, but the bottom line is you have "elite" Nintendo Age people that treat me with respect but over here I get random people in their 40s chastising me because they think I am bragging over a wanted post by trying to offer x amount for games. I had a wanted post for 8 years and I barely got responses! Finally I put up a bounty post and, well, still nothing. The hypocrisy is insane here as well, it's not limited to Nintendo Age, just seemed to be on the Facebook group for some reason.

    Lol how am i fishy?... im still getting use to this site, i literally just started using it. all i did was type in Pepsi invaders in the fucking search engine and sent a few people messages. from what i read in a post it appeared that you had one .... (But i must have been mistaken appaently) but is this really a good way to treat new members... calling them a "flag" and questioning their integrity on the forums instead of bringing it to my attention via PM?....

     

    - DreamTR - I did not say i obtained a Pepsi invaders... please RE-READ my PM's to you to clarify that.... i simply asked you if you had anything you would sell and you said that river patrol is worth 14k or atleast thats what you would want if you sold yours. but whatever.

     

    You also really need to re-read our whole convo on NA because NOR did i say i found a lochjaw CIB on Atariage.. i do have one but i did not get it here. I said to you that i located a CIB River Patrol on Atariage for much less than the 14000$ you wanted for yours. i hadnt bought it yet but what i said to you was after you said you wanted 14k for yours i replied "Woooooow I actually found a mint cib on Atari age for 5k I guess I should just take it than eh?"

     

    That was copy and paste from our conversation on NintendoAge.. if Anybody thinks im a "flag" as the icemanxp so nicely put it. Please message me on Nintendoage, Username is Mofasa been a member there for a few years, have perfect feedback and never any issues.

    I never said you obtained a Pepsi Invaders, but you just admitted to me in PMs on NA that someone offered you a Lochjaw CIB from Atari Age, which is my entire point. I had this wanted post up forever and you put one up 5 days ago and the "person" contacted you somehow.

    How do you know someone sold him one? That guy strikes me as a flag, honestly. He sent me a pm asking for my CIB pepsi invaders. He said he seen me say I had one awhile ago. I never made any such claim. I wouldn't forget owning a complete game like that. It is possible he got me confused somehow but his post just appear very fishy.

     

    He has a ton of feedback on Nintendo Age, not sure why he would draw a "flag" for any reason.

    He has been messaging me on Nintendo Age about it, he told me he did obtain one.
