Best quote everThis is a wonderful forum, but the for sale section can be absolutely acidic at times. More and more I'm staying well clear, which is a shame, but the grief is definitely not worth it. As I have said in other threads on here, before you click 'post', have a think does this actually add anything at all, is it really that important that you post, could it have a negative impact on others.
Or in other words 'wind your neck in son'
Thanks those that support me on this... on the now-locked thread i did post about the terrible treatment a guy saying hhe WTB one...
i had put a post on that thread saying i was going to sell it (even before the re-release), and indeed I have several 1-2-1 conversations with an admin/moderator who asked me to post a FS post and he’d moderate it. I knew it would get comments and so held off... so when the remake got revealled I thought, right list it now and expected it to go “Pete Tong”.
So yeah, I had the annoyance before I posted the FS post so was on a short fuse from the start.
its such a sad thign when people are reluctant to use forums that are actually cracking and like football hooliganism - the few spoil it for the majority. Lets hope people take on board the suggests to “Think first” - but I doubt it Sadly!
we’ll see what happens when I list my Star Wars LE pinball!
I simply wont reply and not look at the thread - I’ll write ’please discuss with me privately’ possibly ...

I don’t think Alien will ever be £4k either. Neil’s dislike of Alien has already been established so I think that colours his opinion
At the same time it’s obviously not a £10k game anymore, or $14k (sorry @Rav). That ship has sailed.
The OG Alien has a playfield LCD and larger backbox LCD, as well as illuminated cabinet art (not sure this is on all models) etc, so there is some value to the OG version above the remake, as opposed to CGC ones which are straight upgrades, antique/patina emotion notwithstanding. There’s still a community built up around keeping it running, that hasn’t changed with this announcement.
On the flip side it seems like they’ve re-engineered the boards (or say they have), so it doesn’t seem like OG Alien owners will be able to use this as a new source of parts. I would also be concerned that @Helmut Langenbruch is selling his, given he was part of that whole development. Maybe these OG parts are going to harder and harder to find.
"come on this is a genuine sales thread" or "Please only post things relevant to the sale" is one thing... "**** you all it's on ebay sunday" is completely different....Just want to agree with Will, Rav is a top bloke who has done so much for the hobby. It's clear that he had expected comments on his for sale thread from people who had absolutely no intention of buying the machine, and he got them. I get his responses completely.

"PM sent" should be classed as a swear word so it gets starred out. The OP knows a PM has been sent as he/she will have received a PM!Wouldn’t it be easy to have a click box (if the poster wants to) when posting a for sale thread that automatically locks it from any replies so all interested people have to take it to pm.
Personally the ‘pm sent’ post is a waste of time and potentially puts people off getting in contact and in many cases the machine is still for sale
I find "PM sent" is a useful post - it tells me that somebody is actually engaging with the OP - otherwise it can look as though nothing is happening"PM sent" should be classed as a swear word so it gets starred out. The OP knows a PM has been sent as he/she will have received a PM!
