Prices and photos would be nice in advance rather than this mystery sale.
Interstate members are at a distinct disadvantage if the prices are only revealed on sale day at the premises.

Re publishing every pinballs price, Wouldnt some members want to inspect the machines face to face and make an offer or negotiate a price ? Airfares are less than $200 return if u want to pick up a potential bargain ? And visit some cool AP members in VIC if u don't live there.... Just an idea. Also, members can prob PM Oscar for pricing ?

Hobbyist members must include the price and photos. Commercial retailer sponsors are not required to do so (but are encouraged to include prices and pics if they wish).

I haven't gone through all the machines yet, if you are interested in something let me know and I can give you a rough price. Also as I stated most will be under $1,000.

Which Pinball Machine are you interested in?
Title: Re: Pinball Clearance Sale Saturday 8th November 2014
Post by: Retropin on October 26, 2014, 12:38:39 AM
As an interstate member id be interested in some prices.. if its an auction then let us know the reserves and I can make a highest bid via email.. if its a clearance sale then all good. But in all honesty, if most machines are under $1000 then posting title and BIN price would sell those machines pretty quickly.

No good deed goes unpunished.   @.@

He could easily have 'advertised' them on ebay as untested non-working projects like other Melbourne (we haven't even plugged it in yet) sellers.

The minute you set a price you are going to get lowballers and with prices on most already set at sub-1k, the seller probably decided it isn't worth the aggravation for such small margins.

Couldn't you argue the same thing for anybody with a reasonably priced pin,whether they be a private or commercial seller?

Don't get me wrong if these were over in Perth I would be straight there having a look, however the justification for not having them list prices makes no sense to me. Private or commercial sellers, why would they be treated differently in regards to getting low ball offers? If I list a reasonably priced pin that is accurately described should I be immune from giving a firm price? I priced my pin at least less than $1,000, so that is fair by some arbitrary measurement therefore I am immune by default from listing a price WTF?

No, that isn't what I said.

His "immunity" stems from the fact he is a paid commercial sponsor and therefore by default has a choice whether to list a price or not.

The fact that the pins are regarded as sub-1k projects likely influenced that choice.

stop being so picky

Can these be purchased pre the sale? I'm a little confused with some comments.
Title: Re: Pinball Clearance Sale Saturday 8th November 2014
Post by: Caveoftreasures on October 26, 2014, 10:22:59 AM
The rules should be the same for every seller on the forum, regardless of who or what you are.

A price per machine, a description incl working or not working, playfield description, three photos minimum, and if the persons smart and wants repeat sales and credibility, list the things upfront that you know are not working or need fixing so no one is surprised later.

Money or membership fees shouldn't buy you out of your moral responsibilities.
Just saying if u want to keep the pinball masses happy...... No complaints with the one rule working for everyone equally.... !

Yes, but buying a pinball machine and being picky go safely hand in hand ! Lol
No such thing as too much information when buying ...

For once I agree with the Cavemeister. I didn't know we had separate rules and not sure why either

It is in the pinball community. The only other hobby - community I've come across with as much bitchiness is the dog showing world.
what about beauty pagents especially the little kids. Their mothers are a treat.

I meant as in separate listings for each unit like he usually does on ebay.

Pretty simple in the end....vote with your wallets and your feet people. If you dont like the fact there is very little info make contact or simply just ignore the sale.

Personally for what it is worth I dont like the idea that sponsorship buys your way out of doing what every one else has to do.  This is one of the things that caused alot of problems on a different forum but.......thems the rules.

Hi All ,

We are expecting a Beautiful 30 degree day so come down and have a fun day looking through approx 40 Machines. I have also including a Judge Dredd Project Condition and also a fully working Speak Easy. I have had quite a few emails and messages so I believe it will be a good turn out.

Also I will have a member who has offered a deliver service in the Melbourne Metro area. Price should be between $70-$120 depending how far out he will need to go.

 Hope to see you there.
