Re: Opinions on How to Sell

Thought you might have been referring to me but needed to clarify.

Your post is wrong... I wasnt most unhappy at all. What I wanted was the machine gone.

Machine was sold 3 times.
Once on this forum for a tad over $2K after what could be described as very little interest. This transaction was later mutually cancelled as the buyer wanted to purchase a BNIB.
Machine went to Ebay at 99c start and finished lower than expected at a tad under $1700. This was then cancelled because the buyer and I had an argument.
Again, machine went to auction at 99c start and sold for a tad under $2k.

All throughout the sale of this pin I stated that I would jump on any offer over $2K because realistically, in todays market, this is what the title is worth.
A touch under... a touch over. Makes no difference really.
Even though I was told it was worth $3K+.. its utter crap... it is what it will sell for and when sold 3 times for a round $2000 then this title is worth that amount.

The first Ebay buyer who was a member here posted that I pulled out of the sale because I was unhappy with the price.... this wasn't true, I was unhappy with him.

Ive sold all my Ebay sales via a 99c start and its always been good. Money is tighter these days, so don't expect the prices machine demanded say 5 years ago. Project EM's were selling for $1000... now fully working ones are struggling to get that

If we go back to the Embryon, then the $3500 was for INSURANCE purposes. So in other words, if it got stolen and you had to replace immediately, then walking into your nearest dealer and buying off the shelf, expect to pay up to $3500... doesn't mean that this title is worth $3500 and any lack of sale is a testament to that.


Make sure you know what you're talking about Cavey before posting..

I thought , and anyone would have potentially thought, all that all added up to

1. Starting the auction at 99 cents
2. With the saga of it all and the low price at the end, an unhappy result.

It certainly wasn't the $ you wanted on either of the 2 first failed sales or the last sale which worked but was still too low. I never saw you say anywhere anytime you were "happy" .

But if your above large post says you were happy well then that is great Gavin.
