I'm glad you pointed that out. Would most likely not take $300 - $400 to get this pin up and running and cleaned up so that shows that mine is a better deal.

im kinda glad i pointed it out too because really this should be a site connecting people with pinball interests with other people with pinball interests and fulfiling their needs for machines/advice/conversations about pinballs. i think you would have a pretty hard time convincing those that just because there is a saving of"actual" dollars makes yours is a better deal . youre negating the time and effort put forth by another to bring a machine to working order and quite possibly dismissng the credibility of or a lack of regard for making a machine saleable in good working order. As your post stated from the outset the machine is a project. to me a project is "as is where is " with work to be done on it . Some may consider they would rather put the time and effort into such a project for a few hundred but as ive been noticing with all the conversations i have with my one friend that owns one pinball, that nearly everyone in ontario that has this addiction of pinballs is up to their eyeballs in projects. There are a great deal many more that prefer to buy a game that is being sold in playable condition . To me being very limited in SS/Dmd experience, a solid state game working for 3-4 hundred more makes it much more appealing and in my ignorance a better deal . of course i dont have anothers ebay credibility that is policed for good standing, making it totally irrelevant to the pinball market to fall back on regrettably.
Truly , i should just realize and accept your comment for what it is , a salesman trying to convey theirs is the better deal for the sake of a sale of a commodity.

He is not saying that there are SS or DMD games for $300-$400. He is saying he would rather pay $300 or $400 more for a working Lectronimo than spend $300-$400 and how ever many hours to get it up to the same condition and playability.
I have to agree with Singlezero. The seller is assuming that who ever buys it does not put any value to the hours of work it will take to get it working again and assumes that the project plus the extra money to get it working is a better deal than just buying it working for the same price without any labour.
I am not saying that $800 is a bad price for the project. I don't see a "better" deal though because hours of labour are not being taken into account. Although it is also hard to place a value on labour and time put into these things.

This IS a site about those things but maybe you are lost. This is the “Pinball for Sale thread”. The other topics are available in their respective threads.
I am not trying to convince anyone of this. People can judge that for themselves. That is correct, as you stated that I stated, right in the title, this is a project machine.
This reminds me of a post I read where you mentioned to someone that was looking for an EM project that you have a bunch of EM projects available and you would send him a list. Might be a bit of projection going on here. I’m addicted to pinball and admit it fully and proudly.
I think it is pretty obvious that most people would prefer buying a pinball machine in fully working order but it is also clear that there are people who like to buy projects, do the work themselves and save some money.
Anyone who suggests that ones eBay standing (or better business bureau standing, google reviews etc for that matter) is completely irrelevant when considering a transaction with that person is using very poor judgement. People who do not do any research are more likely to have a bad transaction experience and possibly even fall victim to the scammers out there.
Hey that reminds me of the time when you were bragging that you got your Aquarius for only $250 in fully working condition in my Aquarius for sale thread. You got a good deal there!
You should head back over to the “machines/advice/conversations about pinballs” threads and spend less time trolling the “pinball for sale” threads. I’m guessing that most people find your activity here more unproductive than it is helpful.

Well either it will sell or it won’t regardless it’s not anyone’s place to set a price but the seller. I wouldn’t personally buy it for 800, cause the 1200 dollar game isn’t selling and I won’t buy a game unless I can get close to what I put into it and if the 1200 dollar game isn’t selling then to me neither are really a “good deal”. But it is always up to sellers to price their games. They sell or they don’t.

Mike seriously im going to dispense with all your gobbledygook retort BS. i posted only about a machine for sale in pinballs for sale . you are the one that brought it up for discussion saying it was a better deal . others posted opinions as well differing from yours A professional probably would have spent time trying to justify why you felt yours was a better deal , ie a better bg ... all it needs is some bulbs or whatever. perhaps posted pictures or something yet you continue to just make everything about me being a troll. the not mine pinball for sales thread is rife with people being critical of pricing both from members and others , where ones opinion is their own .
You can never really make a good argument or retort with any criticism except pulling your rant about me being a troll which is rather extremely laughable. Anything i have put a question to any of your claims on prior threads there usually is a comment or two supporting my opinion.
I am not sure if it is your flippancy(no pun intended) , ignorance indifference or arrogance when you make misleading comments about your machines at times. Most are very informed and knowledgeable here so any time you take us as idiots or mislead, i wont apologize for calling you out on it.
Gee you need to lighten up man . laugh a little! i certainly did with the 30+ texts i got of lol's and high fives with my apollo ad making light of its ipdb rating !

Chris. I am not going to continue playing tit for tat with you. You mostly just regurgitate the same crap over and over again anyways but I do have a couple comments to make.
You say you being called a troll is “extremely laughable”. Let me ask what you would hope to come out of this comment you posted in this thread (one that I chose to ignore)?
I mentioned I needed space....
This is typical troll activity and there is more. I would actually argue that you are one of pinball revolutions top trolls.
On a side note, when Mike Hanley posted his CV for sale on Facebook he listed it as HUO. When I listed it, I followed suit without giving it much though. After thinking about it I retracted that portion of the description but it was not misleading as the condition is still HUO like condition. You don’t seem to let this go but HUO is a statement of condition. The machine is mint with or without the HUO descriptor.
You kind of remind me of my cat. She will often jump on the couch and look out the window, observing what is going on out there but mostly waiting for the orange cat to appear and when it does her hairs stand on edge and she starts hissing and attacking the window.
I also think you should really chill out and especially stop trying to be a singlehero.
