Re: FS: 1981 Williams Solar Fire

why don't you stick up for your buddy on Pinside where people are actually bashing it? Because you are some old dude that is too afraid to stick your neck out on pinside for your "buddy". I guess everyone on pinside posts where ridiculous as well, except your non existent one defending him of course :roll: .
You know, I didn't really see any bashing on the pinside thread. A few people suggested that the price was a bit on the high side, but several more said the price was spot-on. Once you take into consideration the exchange rate (I'm speaking in Canadian dollars and the pinsiders didn't realize that at first), it becomes pretty apparent that this EXTREMELY OVERPRICED SOLAR FIRE is actually off the mark by, what, maybe $200 tops? That's negotiating territory, for sure. And for a rare game that is on many people's "grail" list. But what the fuck do I know? I've only been buying, selling and fixing up pins for 10+ years.
In a world where MM and CC have tripled in value over the course of four years, I'm not sure why anyone would care about the asking price for my Solar Fire. I've seen some pretty damn ridiculous pin prices lately, but I don't think my asking price is one of them.
Further, I've also determined in my time dealing with pinball that people can be pretty awesome. When you start saying that someone leads a "pathetic life" and that you feel sorry for them simply because of something critical they've said about you on a hobby forum, it might be time to take a step back and re-evaluate how you conduct yourself. You're not going to make many friends by being a fucking asshole. Food for thought.
Have a really great Friday.
