I might be interested in the Star Castle. Great game, good memmories.

Do you have any pics of the cab? Maybe a front and a side shot or two?

Thanks,

[ChadTower]

Pictures, please, and lots of them. 

[markrvp]

I might be interested in the Battlezone.  Could you please post pics of it as well?

[missioncontrol]

sweet hey if those guys back out I may be interested...

post some pics though...

last great deal I thought that I had found turned out not so great because it had a busted front panel....

[ChadTower]

I had a blind date like that once.  Thought I had a sweet deal but when she showed up her front panel was all busted.

[KSKID]

I'll post some pictures here later on this evening.

Here are pictures of the complete / nonworking star castle for sale, the game does not come with any locks, even though locks are shown in the pictures.

Pictures of the Battlezone, besides no monitor, and main pcb boards, it will also be missing all the locks and keys as well, cabinet is in really nice shape, the thing thats in worse shape overall is the wooden step (stored inside the game)

nobody is interested , anyone ??

nobody is interested , anyone ??

i would like to know what happened to the people that were interested in these games, they are not that bad of shape, and i am not asking a MINT for them either, would anyone care to explain why i wasted my time taking photos if nobody is interested in purchasing?, feel free to FLAME away.

[Witchboard]

It's the whole, "Holy crap!  I'm interested!"  Then reality sets in.  Either they figured they don't have the room, the wife would kill, or the money's too tight.  Heck, I had 4 19" plywood cabs I couldn't even GIVE away.  I had one person say they were interested, but then when they found out it wasn't a 25" cab they didn't want it.  Post 'em up on the KLOV forums or eBay.  There may be some peeps out there with all the guts to those cabs that need one.

[SOAPboy]

Damn.. im maybe 20 min from you..

Shame i dont have the cash

It's never a waste of time to take pictures of somthing you are selling or representing. Things sell better when people can see the condition. I was out as soon as I figured out that buying a cab while moving from one house to another is a really bad idea.

You were asking $150 SIGHT UNSEEN for an item that REQUIRES the ability to see what you're buying to even have a CLUE if it's worthwhile.

Are you that dense that you think you "wasted time" taking pictures?  Do you want a cookie or $5 for each photo you "slaved and toiled" to take?

NOT posting a pic is a good way to get hosed or even worse, waste the time of the BUYER.  If you think your time as a SELLER is so valuable, you obviously aren't a very GOOD seller, since anyone worth their salt knows the more info you give a buyer, the more likely that when someone finally DOES show interest in exchanging those little pieces of green paper with all the squigglies on them for your merchandise, the deal will go smoothly for both parties and both sides will be happy with the transaction, boosting your credibility and making future sales more likely to happen.

If you want to be taken seriously with a sale listing, you'll post pics until you're an established seller around here.  Not just once or twice, but EVERY time. 

Lastly, you sound angry about putting forth even THAT little amount of effort in order to sell your cab.  If this upsets you, perhaps sales isn't your thing.  Get rid of them in some other fashion and leave the sales to people better suited to it.

Nobody has to buy your cabs, and you didn't have to go to all the "trouble" of taking pics.

Plus, don't sell your stuff in an imaginary state like Kansas.  If you were selling in New England there is a good chance I would have bought them both.

Ok,

i have the two games above, unfortunately though either my wife or my kid neither one is fessing up backed something into the front of the star castle in the garage, cracked the particle board on the very front in two places, repairable, but cracked. did not hurt the sides, did not damage the coin door or the control panel..

also to add to the lot i have a cocktail sytle pong game, its a round cocktail sit around type game, with round top, with a monitor in the middle and 4 pong like spinner controls around the outside, the game is complete, nonworking, willing to throw it in on the deal as well as to lower the price on the other two games in the first post., to get the prices the buyer must take all three games, if you you just want the guts, must come and part out yourself, i can dispose of the cabinets.

Battlezone, includes everything in pictures, DOES NOT include the
xy monitor or the main pcb boards, everything else is there.
$125.00 FIRM

Cinemtronics Star Castle, now has two cracks in the particle board
on front of the game, game is complete, nonworking $75.00 FIRM

Sit down, cocktail style pong game, dont think its an actual pong, but
a variant of one, nice shape, non working, complete. FREE with the purchase of the above two games

All three $200.00 Cash, can take pictures if the pong game, just
let me know.

need to move the games, need the space.

[kenmelk]

Hey i want some pics of the pong cocktail, and would you be interested in shipping it?
Thanks

[KSKID]

Here are the pictures of the pong game, dont know who the manufacture is, but it did play pong, i would prefer someone take me up on my generous offer, but if i dont get any takers, will consider offers on individual games, also note  the tabletop is not perfectly round, its oval. Base is round though.  Also if there is any interest i have a completely gutted Nintento VS Cocktail (Red Tent) cabinet, that i would throw in for free also, but its just a bare shell with legs on it, nothing more.

Would be willing to do some trading also, would like either a Taito Ice Cold Beer or Zeke's Peak complete, no water damage.

[SOAPboy]

Just for the record. I offered his asking price. Not a penny less.

[DrewKaree]

Are you even AWARE of how the buying/selling process goes?  You're quite rude for saying that someone's looking for "handouts" by e-mailing you an offer lower than your asking price! 

Do you think NO ONE IN THE HISTORY OF SELLING has EVER taken less than their asking price?  How would they POSSIBLY know you WOULDN'T, unless they sent you a counter-offer?

You play as if you're quite ignorant of how this process works, and VERY rude to potential customers who may have simply been "feeling you out".  Perhaps you ought to save your whining for more people who show interest and then "back out" on you   Maybe your asshat attitude shows people you're not someone to be trusted or dealt with. 

[ChadTower]

I've seen his prices.  They aren't firm.  They're all wobbly and cottage cheesy.

[Stingray]

I'm in Oklahoma, which is close enough to get me interested. Your asking price seems fair, which gets me more interested. The way you have conducted this thread leads me to believe that I might arrive only to find you have changed your mind or sold them to someone else before I get there, which totally deflated the "interested" bubble.

-S

[Havok]

I've seen his prices.  They aren't firm.  They're all wobbly and cottage cheesy.

Unlike his avatar...

And, for the record - I never offer asking price. I AWAYS offer at a lower price. I consider the asking price as a general guideline...

[nostrebor]

I will offer asking price, if I think it's fair. Sometimes I am surprised at just how fair an asking price can be. This was one of those times.

But alas, it was not meant to be

[markrvp]

If I understand it right, Nostrebor offered the guy $75 for the Star Castle which is what he has it listed for:

i have the two games above, unfortunately though either my wife or my kid neither one is fessing up backed something into the front of the star castle in the garage, cracked the particle board on the very front in two places, repairable, but cracked. did not hurt the sides, did not damage the coin door or the control panel..

Cinemtronics Star Castle, now has two cracks in the particle board
on front of the game, game is complete, nonworking $75.00 FIRM

It is my understanding that KSKID then told Nostrebor that he wanted to sell the Star Castle as a pair with the Battlezone and for the trouble of separating them, the price would be $100.

WTF?  Are the machines bolted together?  The machine magically gets damaged, you list the price for $75, then reneg on that price and then accuse a respected member here of wanting a handout?

I call shenanigans.

You are going straight to the bad sellers list.

As I mentioned to you elsewhere, I would have definitely gone in with you on this because I'd love to get that Pong cocktail. Sadly, Kansas is still too far to drive if I'm not 100% certain that the deal will still be there when I arrive.

Just to be clear.

I offered him the asking price for the SC, if he did not sell the games as a group. I was more than willing to let him close the package deal with someone else, if he could get that done. My offer was to be a fallback position, and I offered to pay in full, in advance.

[nostrebor]

I also want to mention that I am only responding to clarify what others are saying. If KSKID would like to come into this thread and discuss the facts of the deal, I am more than willing to do that. If he asks me to not clarify my position, I will honor that request as well.

[KSKID]

i stated 75.00 in my post i will stick to it, but i am not selling off piece by piece until the ad has been up for awhile, i want to sell all three or four pieces together, i live in a rural community anyway, didnt really think anyone would drive clear to bum fuk egypt for one game for 75.00, i dont really know why i am considered a bad seller when i havent even sold anyhting yet, no money has changed hands, i did not rip anyone off nor did i send anyone a box of rocks, WTF. I have over 300 feedbacks on ebay, i consider myself a good seller, i apologize if i have stepped on anyones toes, but nostrebor emailed some comments off the board that didn't set too well with me and my reasoning therefore not to do business with him, thats MY CHOICE, if he wishes to vent his frustrations on the forum i have no problems with that, but everyone shouldn't be soo quick to place judgement.

[nostrebor]

I agree that you have a choice to deal with whomever you wish. I have the same choice.

My off-board comments were as professional as my on-board comments, and you now leave me no choice but to post the email exchange verbatim below to prove it.

 You have chosen to slander me on a public forum. I have not treated you that way. If you retract your slander and apologize for it on this thread, I'll let the deal slide, and will retract my buyer beware warning. It is only fair.


(note to readers: the email exchange starts at the bottom and works it's way up)

You asked why I posted buyer beware on the BYOAC boards...

2 reasons.

1. I have tried to deal with you on this cabinet twice. The first time you hedged telling me that the front was damaged, then got bent out of shape when I wanted to pay a bit less because of the damage. Then you basically lied to me, telling me it was sold. Time passes by, and you post it for sale again, with no mention of the damage, on BYOAC. I considered ignoring it, until you lowered the price to $75. Then I decided to give you the benefit of the doubt. Maybe you were having a bad day or something before when we were dealing. Well, you decide that you'll just raise the price... I figure that it is worth my time to let others know that you are jacking around with me on this thing.

2. I am an established member of BYOAC. You can do a search of my posts and see that I am very much against poisoning a BST thread, but 2 times we try to deal, and 2 times you dance. I have peers on there that need to know that.

I was more than willing to let you have the opportunity to sell your games as a group. Said it in my first mail. I just wanted a shot at the game at the publicly asked price, if you chose to go the seperate route. Simple. You chose greed, over integrity.

I will be more than happy to discuss this with you on the forum in public, if you prefer. I will not post details of our email exchange without your consent. I will share this story privately with any potential buyer that asks. I owe that to my community forum members, of which many have helped me out in the past with no greed attached.

I sincerely hope that you sell all your games, and make money doing it.

        Corey,

        You advertised seperate prices for your games including a price of $75 firm for the Star Castle on the message boards. Then you advertised a seperate offer of $200 if someone would take all. Where I'm from this is called "take them single at this price or package deal at this price". Honestly, if you wanted $100 you shouldn't have asked $75 on a public forum. Good luck in selling your games.

                Hi Corey,

                Thanks for the reply back. I don't have anything on your trade list ATM. If you do  decide to sell seperate, and can stand me picking it up in late April/early May, I'll go the $75. Just let me know, and I'll toss you the money to hold it.

                    its a complete star castle, the rockola version of the game.
                     
                    broken/cracked front panel
                     
                    complete, but nonworking
                     
                    all have done is plugged it in and reseated a few of the pcb
                    plugs, thats been about it, its not a game i am interested
                    in therefore, i have not spent alot of time on it, when i did
                    plug it in, it didnt do anything, i think the lights on the main
                    boards remained lit, but thats about all it did.
                     
                    i am hoping someone will take both the star castle and the battlezone
                    off my hands for the $200.00.
                     
                    do you have anything for trade?, looking for an ice cold beer, zeke's peak,
                    or perhaps a nice ms. pacman or galaga project.

                        Hi there!
                         
                        Noticed your Star Castle back for sale on KLOV... Could you remind me again about the details on it?
                         
                        As I recall, it was complete with all parts, boards and etc. but with a broken front panel. Art was Rock-Ola. Do you have a feel for what is wrong? Power up at all? Any water damage? etc...
                         
                        I am interested, but could not come up to get it for at least a month (we are moving in 2 weeks).  Is this a problem? Would you be willing to meet me at St Joseph, or somewhere between us?
                         
                        If we could nail down a few of these details, I will be glad to pay for it to hold it, and come get it out of your way as soon as I can.

Maybe we did get off on the wrong foot.

 I offered a trade of a bubbles for a defender. You felt it wasn't a good deal. I said OK thanks and moved on. No harm done. I have the PM exchange handy, if you would like to see it.

The first time you offered the SC, I was interested. It was at $175. I offered $150. You said that it was damaged. I became much less interested, but offered $125. You said you would MAME it first, or pass it to a neighbor. Then you maild me saying it was sold. I just assumed your neighbor had it No harm done.

You offer it up for sale again, lower the price to a great deal, I offer to pay asked price if you will hold it until I move. You raise the price. I say well that sucks, and thanks but no thanks. I'm trying to figure out what I did to make you not like me? So far it has simply been trying to do business with you.

But hey! Good luck in life and all that it brings you.

The first time you offered the SC, I was interested. It was at $175. I offered $150. You said that it was damaged. I became much less interested, but offered $125. You said you would MAME it first, or pass it to a neighbor. Then you maild me saying it was sold. I just assumed your neighbor had it No harm done.

You offer it up for sale again, lower the price to a great deal, I offer to pay asked price if you will hold it until I move. You raise the price. I say well that sucks, and thanks but no thanks. I'm trying to figure out what I did to make you not like me? So far it has simply been trying to do business with you.

But hey! Good luck in life and all that it brings you.

Dave.

Same to you Dave, if you feel you can set this stuff and asside and still want to try and work somthing out i would be open to it now that the air has been cleared.

I'm gonna pass on the deal if you don't mind.

[pointdablame]

Dave,

has the thought ever occured to you, that i actually dont like you and dont want to do business with you, you really cant take a hint can you?, read between the lines.

haha.... wow. just wow.

Another person to add to my Do Not Trade list. 

You need to learn some tact and realize that lowballing and lower offers are a normal part of forum selling.  It ALWAYS happens.  You show some restraint, counter offer, or outright decline and move on.  There is no need to attack someone because they offered less than you were asking.  I hope you never have a garage sale, you'll probably get arrested for stabbing someone for offering you a nickel for something you wanted a buck for.

If you don't want to deal with negotiations, stay off forums.  You'll never just sell everything you have at list price.  It doesn't happen that way.  Most people actually ENJOY the haggling part of the deal on forums.  If you don't like it, go back to eBay.

no problem, figured you would pass

[DrewKaree]

in the future i suggest you try not to lowball everyones asking price or try to trade something i dont even have a remote interest in

He didn't lowball "everyone's" asking price, and the price offered INITIALLY - I'm emphasizing that point because following what's going on doesn't seem to be your strong point - INITIALLY you were offered what anyone here would consider a fair counter offer.  You're simply an idiot if you consider that a "lowball" offer.  THEN he offered you EXACTLY WHAT YOUR ASKING PRICE WAS THE *******SECOND****** TIME.

Again, you're an idiot if you're telling us now that meeting your asking price was a "lowball" offer.

There was no way of knowing PRIOR TO ASKING YOU - PRIOR means BEFORE, to help you follow along sparky - if you would have been interested in his items to trade, so if you're claiming he was trying to "hoodwink" you by offering a trade when you had STATED you were interested in a trade, you're an idiot.

Lastly, you very well may have 300 feedbacks on e-bay.  I notice you don't specify, much like the broken control panel on the Star Castles, if they're GOOD feedbacks, merely that you *have* them.  Congratulations.  Seeing as how I've pointed out that you're a liar, unless you can show us you actually HAVE an e-bay account, no one here has any reason to believe another of your claims.  Guess what?  Now you have feedback HERE too, and NONE of it is positive because you're demonstrating yourself to be two things.

1.  You are a liar.  Stating you'd sell something for one price and then saying it will cost him another, higher, price, means you're a liar.  There IS NO NICE WAY TO PUT IT.

2.  You're an ass.  You've meandered back and forth, both nicely with Dave when wanting to do the deal, to blowing him off, back to being nice to him, then telling him maybe you don't like him, to now acting as if the problem is the written word that is easily discernible to everyone BUT you, that demonstrates you're the asshat in this deal.

Dave has demonstrated far more class than everyone else here in his replies to you, but you've chosen to deal with him as if he's a pariah in this community.  You've made a mistake many here won't soon forget.  How you've treated him should speak loudly to everyone considering buying your machines, and your failure to see you're acting like an ass is what's more than likely the cause of your inability to sell these machines.

Telling Dave to get a life?  I'd throw my money at you if I were him.  In nickels.  One by one.

[Stingray]

It makes me feel icky all over to say so, but I agree with every word of Drew's last post.

This has quickly become my favorite thread!!!!  I usually don't like to get involved with a lot of these types of "intellectual" conversations but, I work with Dave and can say that I stand by his posts and can vouch for his integrity like most of everyone here.  Drew, I actually peed a little with your last post!  I may be the only one but, when you read KSKID's replies, do you hear the voice of Zoolander too?

Perhaps we should both whip it out and measure next?

Grow the hell up kid.  And if you aren't a kid... I sure hope you had some kind of head trauma at some point, cuz you can't be serious with this crap.

look, i'am just F___G with you at this point not trying to start anything that either one of us can finish., i will make one statement though, i would much rather be WITH you than AGAINST you, this board is like a pack of wolves when somene feels they get rubbed the wrong way, and that is an understatement.

i know i brought all this one myself, but i am trying to make the best of it and get along with everyone.

it should be mentioned that this particular school of jellyfish would be extremely lazy.  So very lazy....

[mccoy178]

KSKID,
I'll tell you most of the problem.  You come off like a complete ass.  You posted above that after throwing the pics up, you were pissed no one bought them after you put so much effort into it.  You also put a retarded link post on klov saying you're too lazy to post the details.  That combined with you just flat out disrespecting Dave, is the asshat trifecta. 

This combination of stupid moves has labeled you.  You are the guy who will show up in the software forum, cry like a ---smurfette--- that you can't get mamewah to work and when someone tries to help you out, you'll get pissy because they didn't come over and personally fix it themselves.  You know what, go get your head out of your ass(see asshat trifecta), try to kiss ass a little on here, and maybe you'll be welcomed with open arms.  In the meantime, stop trying to save face in this thread, sit the hell down, and relax.  You have wronged a member in very high standing here and your attitude comes off a little arrogant.  We need nothing from you, you are here because you need something from us.

... what happened to the pong being free??

[SithMaster]

wasnt it only free if you bought the set?  kinda like those infomercials where you pay 3 easy payments of 99.99 and get a free set of knives.

are jellyfish anything like gummi bears?

[KSKID]

... what happened to the pong being free??

i agreed to throw the pong in for the $200.00 which included
the star castle, battlezone, pong and the vs. cocktail bare shell,
but since there were no takers on the package deal, decided
to sell seperately since there was/is some interest in this game
by itself.

Dave,

has the thought ever occured to you, that i actually dont like you and dont want to do business with you, you really cant take a hint can you?, read between the lines.

Sounds like you won't be doing much business around here with anyone else mate.

just trying to make a point, nothing more nothing less. $200.00 worth of games thats probably going to landfill anyway, i am not too upset over this, not trying to make a ripple in the pond with anyone else.

When they hit the curb, lemme know ill come haul em off for free..

i picked up the star castle many weeks back and wanted to thank kskid for the good deal and staying up late to meet me after a snafu at forward air. can't thank you enough. sorry to take so long to coment, it's been crazy on my end, i bought a place and have been tying to get settled.

anyway, the game was just as described and is getting a makeover right now(which is why i remembered to write this).

i know there's was a misunderstanding between him and dave. i'll say i've done business with both and have had no bad deals. as a matter of fact dave is getting my old sc and the inards from this one. it's almost like a happy ending! heh heh.
