In regards to the shadow he has listed it numerous times, that one must have been a mistake.. Was listed from $2,700 down to $2,350..

I went to look at it and while there fixed the error for him and showed him how to set it on free play so he didn't have to keep opening the coin door to 'drop coins in'..

The machine is OK'ish, orginally came from bumper action so he is upset he is already loosing money, that's what you get buying off bumper I guess..

The listing was about to end and he had listed multiple times at $2,350 with no bids, I said "if it ends with no bids again, maybe don't relist it and offer me a cash price and I will take it".. I wanted at least the money he was going to lose to ebay removed so around $2,000 or so, but he wouldn't discount at all even for cash sale offline.. I walked away, it needed too much work from my point of view to justify the $2,350, even at 2k I was hesitant but enjoy fixing them up...

I had the same problem with a guy listing a Star Trek Next Gen (lot higher price obviously) and lots of mechanical errors.. Refused to budge on price and months later he gave up trying to sell it I think... LOL
