Title: Arcade Game For Sale
Post by: mag48 on October 16, 2005, 08:56:21 pm
Hi, I have a Ghost N' Goblins Arcade Game for sale. I live in Morrison Illinois. The game works excellent and there is nothing wrong with it except the coin mechanism is not wired up so the game is set on free play other than that works GREAT! Contact me if your interested!

I would advise posting more/better pics, possibly an asking price, and adding the name of the game to the subject line...  Might generate some more interest.

Consider this a free friendly advice bump.  ;D

Price? 

Sideart?

Art quality as a whole?

Love the game and might be interested...  But a lot of factors before then.

mag48, I think you'll find that very few people are going to want to pony up $400 without at least a couple of decent pictures, which you seem to be unwilling to provide (which will make people nervous about dealing with you).

And even then, you're asking the same price  (after currency conversion) as I just paid for my Asteroids machine ... I think that you are a tad on the high side.

Cheers.

Yeah, put it on eBay -- best shot for the most money.

Borrow a camera before you list, though.

Good luck.

Cheers

I think he already had bids, so the BIN had gone away ... maybe the $400 man didn't see it.

I don't think you can do that on eBay... and if you are found to be doing it with another account, you'll get banned

It happens all the time ... there is a seller here in Toronto that always has zero feedback accounts bid up his machines up and very often relists the machine a few weeks later.

Cheers.

Thanks! If you're a shill and win your own bid, wouldn't you have to pay ebay some sort of fee?
Title: Re: Arcade Game For Sale
Post by: miles2912 on November 03, 2005, 10:25:06 pm
Stupid idea bidding up your own stuff.  If it doesn't sell to a REAL bidder you end up eating a bunch of e-bay fees reducing totall profit.  Now you have to try to get a higher price to recoup the lost funds on an item that obviously did not have the value in the first place.  All my auctions start at one dollar.  Let the market drive the price and if you have doubts about a finall selling price don't put the damn thing on e-bay.

My apologies in advance for stating the obvious....
