Not of actual machine...
« on: May 15, 2007, 11:24:44 pm »
Guy is selling a Donkey Kong Cocktail for $1200 (or a big screen in trade) and the pics aren't even of the actual cab.

Isn't there a rule somewhere that you need to show pics of the actual cab, especially one for that much?

Even better, check out the keywords he imbedded in there.  :laugh2:

An who would trade a "nice 42" or larger flat screen tv" for $1200. He's so clueless about the value of this thing, and merchandise in general, that he probably thinks it was worth $10,000 back when it was new. He's cutting us a real deal by only asking $1200 for it.

At least he stated that it wasn't a pic of his machine. That's a step ahead of some of the eBay sellers.

Brevity is not my strong suit.

I just asked him if he meant $120 instead of $1200.

Lets see what kind of answer I get.

Muahahaha...

In his defense on the price, I've listed things on Craigslist before that I thought were reasonably priced. When I received 10 emails in the first hour asking when they could pick it up, I knew I had under priced. Better to risk over pricing and relisting than losing money (depending on the motivation for selling). That being said, I would pay $250 tops for that.
