[KO Amps]

I should have dumped my kids with a sitter and drove down tonight, lol.

Hard to see on these pics but it looks in decent shape. Should sell for more than 4500.

Kijiji should not be used as an auction! Happens all the time in every category. Here's the simple rundown.

SELLERS :

1) Pick a selling price you can live with.
2) Add 10% max to let the listing price so that potential buyers can talk you down so they think they stole it.
3) When you get a solid offer and the guy is on his way over - stick to that agreement. Do not entertain higher offers at this point (you douche).

BUYERS :

1) If you see something advertised at a price close to what you are willing to pay, contact the seller and tell them you are interested but your max price is ????. (should be within 10% of asking) or offer full price and arrange a time for inspection, payment and pickup. (ask them to follow rule 3 for sellers) You have to actually show up at that time and be willing to pay that agreed to price.
2) If the seller says he has a full list offer, ask them to contact you first if the deal falls through and you'll be there. Don't spoil a deal that someone else has made - you know how it feels to be on the other end of that!
3) Don't respond at all if you want to tell the seller that it is worth way more, or their price is way too high or you have a really good trade, ETC. Let the market do what the market does.

3 simple, easy steps.
In an ideal world it would word like this.
Yes, there are a million exceptions to these rules that make sense but if you stick to them as close as you can than -
No hard feelings after and no drama.

Can this be the first thing people see when they log into any pinball site/forum?

 

[mitch_a]

You guys do know that most of the time these people selling only have one machine, bought it a long time ago and know nothing about pinball or the current market.
What do you expect them to do when the receive dozens of emails right away offering more then asking.
Blame the buyers offering more if you want not the sellers but then again sometimes the buyers are just being honest and don' want to rip off a uninformed seller.

this would be nice but reality is quite different

I couldn’t agree more underachiever. A deal is a deal, and your word should be gold. Old fashioned maybe but there’s too much greed out there. Integrity shouldn’t be worth a couple hundred bucks.

I wonder if a Mod shouldn't split this off and make it a new topic. I have the feeling we ain't done here yet.

Key words in your response are the last 2 "uniformed seller".
Sellers that are too lazy to spent 5 minutes (literally) to find out what their stuff is worth, should accept what they ask.
It's like the sellers that want to list something of huge value (which might be the correct price) but can't be bothered to post any pictures or pictures that aren't fuzzy or taken with a flip phone with no flash from 100 feet away. Sellers have to do a little work to sell their stuff otherwise just put it out to the curb and someone will pick it up.

So who got the TZ for $7000 in Barrie yesterday?

 

[Fleetwood mIkea]

Well, I thought I had it a few minutes after it was posted but apparently it was sold by 7am. I guess I should have driven out there after midnight. See my above post.

 

[roar]

I just got a reply on the mystery Flash Gordon that was posted... new pictures show it to be in worse shape than I'm interested in bidding on and even if you "win" the bid you need to wait until Spring for it to make its way to Ontario. From the sounds of the email it will take more than $1K to get it, needs a new coin door and playfield and a ton of other playfield parts.

 

[singlezero]

Exactly....the buyers are setting the price.
I was going to check out Mr. Astill's Gladiators, but it sold the night before I could head up, so now I'm thinking of TRYING to save for Pinfest to see if the prices aren't quite so silly. Dollar notwithstanding....

its a shame you didnt get up to Daves to see the gladiators. im going to do much the same and try and save money too for pinfest. im not really hoping to buy a machine there moreso looking for some things of specificity but i dont want to not have the cash if one of my 300 holy grail pins are available either.

 

[GUARD]

if one of my 300 holy grail pins are available either.

And then right after that I drive 2 hours each way to pick up a Gottlieb Buccaneer wedge head.

Ebay is dead now.. .kijiji is the new ebay, its just unofficial.

Could say a similar thing to all the guys posting the wanted ads every 35 seconds who just rape the random guy trying to sell a pin he's had for years. They hoard the buying market to themselves never letting those deals make it out into the public.. Just part of the game. What's that old saying? don't hate the player, hate the game

That Medieval Madness didn't last long on Kijiji yesterday.

I don't think it was real , something seems fishy

If it is because of the lack of snowbanks in the background it is probably due to the warm weather we have been experiencing this week. Also doesn't everyone always setup their pin on the driveway for pics before you put it up for sale?
