Mike , it isnt really for my satisfaction . you just seem to have this uncanny knack of trying to do a sales job on everyone with little oversights or sales pitches. i understand the value of this site and others like it. as you try to run your business buying and selling i dont begrudge that . But i would also think this site being community driven it is also more than the Mike Dymus president of the LOPL sales site. i trust that you donate to the upkeep and maintenace of the site. it is to provide information share and encourage others in the pinball hobby. So when you put your ads up for sale , that should leave them open for discussion too. I can tell you that i had a pinballer actually come to my door and thank me personally about pointing out that Circus Voltaire HUO discrepancy that you made . You should know too that the majority of people that read these ads are knowledgeable for the most part and there wont be too many naive ones.
oh and as im in the topic of pointing tings out , what is with these price check /interst check posts that you make in the pinballs for sale section . lets see it for what it is , trying to get people interested enough to outbid another on the price. The game is for sale , so why beat around the bush. put your price on it and see if it sells. i think if this machine does sell , itll be one of the first that you posted without dropping the price.
if you would like a price check on that old chicago you are trying to sell at 1500 that you chose not to post here, take a look at this current ad.

to me that is more of a machine and at a third savings. ad it is sitting there (i think after 7 days). i probably would have gone to snag it if i didnt own one already. i know you have claimed a lot about a certain lack of knowledge for EM machines. 2000 cpies of an em Machine isnt ll that rare. i probably have 30 machines that are under a 1000 made and only maybe consider it rare if it under 500 . that is probably my guage and im sure others may vary. i personally like my aquarius and it is the only other one i have seen being sold so there is that.
you have to understand that your customer base is very limited and small in scope and it does seem pinballs are slower to move the last 6 months or so . S sometimes you shoud look at the bigger picture and realize , that extra $50 on a machine sometimes doesnt pay dividends not understanding your clients. there ws a 70s em game you hd for sale a few weeks ago that i probably would have been interested in save for the seller.
that being said, i did see your ad looking for someone coming from the barrie to the cne this past weekend. i happened to have been one of them , well within 6 or 7 blocks from the CNE , and i think most would say i would have done that in a heartbeat but then again my motivations arent about sales
