Re: FirePower Why such a big hole

I can't believe they are asking nearly $4000 for a Firepower and can't include a decent set of center targets and one flipper is way off alignment. For that sort of money, should be at least a 9.5/10

The key to this is that they are "asking" for $4000. Like the space Invaders that has been on eBay for years - There's no harm in asking for 3 times the value of the game. The question is - is there a sucker who will fall for it ?

I know why they ask for those sorts of dollars but I think most people have wised up and wouldn't pay those dollars for unrestored machines which is obvious by the amount of time these machines sit unsold.

I don't know about others but when I see prices so far out of whack it puts me off contacting the seller because I assume they wouldn't move enough on their prices. I could be wrong but that's the impression I'm left with.

Sellers that list games at massively inflated prices are the same sellers complaining that they can't sell machines. It is never their fault - it is the "tight arse" buyers. Most astute collectors and hobbyists have worked out who legit sellers are.
