Just read the ‘what’s wrong with my prices’ thread and remembered a conversation on Facebook I had yesterday with Leon (See pic). I had a bit of a long day today but it cheered me up no end seeing him being taken to task on his price / attitude. If he’d honestly have paid £1700 for it I’d feel bad telling him he’d payed too much for it, but it seems he wasn’t honest from the off, it wasn’t even his? The real seller wanted £1500? Where to start..It says on Facebook the listings sold now; maybe to a rich business man.
About this time last year I remember longingly eyeing up a beat up JD (personal dream machine). It was in HLD for £3995 and the price just had me thinking ‘*sigh* one day...’. So Thank You to all the ‘old guys who think they run the pinball empire from the shadows’ (and the first person I asked about Buying a machine- @Moonraker) which led me onto this forum and buying a working JD for less than half that price and some patience. Though still not a small amount of money, its as fair as it can be at market value and I’d of course be back on this forum to look for more while saving up for the next one. Good business is being a good middleman isn’t it? I get there’s buyers for HLD, the sites slick and the videos are good, it’s a good service. Though not for me, I’m either buying private and knowing I may need to fix a few bits or from a business with a fair markup based on their work, given the right price/machine.
Anyway, just to hedge my bets, I have two machines for sale (and anyone else’s) only to rich businessmen. I cannot provide lear jet parking or delivery of machines to your yacht, however I will take say, oooo, £3950 for JD and let’s say... £2600 for SnS. If you want both, which let’s assume you do, £6500. Only message if your filthy rich with money to burn on a canny appreciating asset. Any takers?
