Seriously? That's a great way to make a first impression - offer the guy 20% of his asking price in a total douche kind of way.

You'd better learn some better manners if you plan on sticking around here.

Hey at least give the guy credit for putting ridiculous offers out in public. Far more respectable than the low ball PM approach.

Whilst every one is breaking your balls though....this ain't Ebay so don't waste your time with a low bid.

E****z   $100.

Now easy....

Fantastic did state on Oct 29, that it was $450 and dropping 'every day'.  On Nov 26, he reposted it in another thread for $250, so that's a drop of $7.14 a day.  At that rate, Fantastic should be actually PAYING $78.57 as of Jan 9.  So a $100 offer is more than reasonable.

Ok, back to work.

you rock.

like i mentioned on ANOTHER dead post you dug up.... QUIT DIGGING UP DEAD POSTS!!!!!  if it's more than a month old, send a PM. No reason to revive posts of long trashed and sold machines, unless you like to be the object of ridicule.

If you want a cheap working game or a cheap cabinet, go to the next SB auction, theres ALWAYS crap games going cheap....

Nice way to make friends. I just love and respect people that lowball AND laugh at a seller when they find something cheaper. Classy.

Well he found 2 working cabs for $225. Should we fill him in that we have seen people on here pretty much give away that sort of thing?

Oh and the obligatory Muahahahahaha!

Ummm,

Business IS business... almost nobody here considers coin-op their "business"  we're collectors.

If this was a forum for operators? maybe that would fly but i doubt it.

And having the MAJORITY of senior members who participate regularly on your "unhappy" list????  I don't know why you're aiming for it. These guys have been massively helpful, both online and in person.

But I guess you aren't worried about burning bridges before they are built.

Evilblitz...Deal with him if you have time to waste...He inquired be email about an empty cab I had and said he would call the nexy day, he never called...A couple of days later he sent me an email for my Tempest cab. I said call me when you can pick it up. He called and said he would be here around 11-12am the next day...I went to the warehouse at 10am just in case he arrived earlier...I waited until 3pm...never showed up, never called me on my cell...I sent him an email the next day and he never replied.

Well, since this thread is no longer really about a DKJr for sale, I moved it to the Forums (SEE???? I DIDN'T DELETE IT!!!   ).

My 2 cents in this is that this is a very small community dealing in a hobby. If you crap on a few people enough, the whole community will turn on you pretty quick.

Reminds me of an analogy... an eagle is a majestic animal and people like to look at them. But if that eagle swoops down on a small farming community, steals lots of chickens and rabbits, and then takes an occasional mess on a farmer's pickup truck, eventually you have a bunch of pissed-off farmers pointing shotguns in the air, just waiting...

And if you don't believe me? Ask me about what happened to Clomizac... a member that got too greedy too fast.

I think an eagle swooped down and took a mess in his mouth  

Subsequently he has been a test subject in clinical trials of a new drug to cure the effects of eagle mess in one's mouth..."Clomizac".

Unfortunately, Clomizac is not a drug... it is a guy that came in, talked a lot of tough talk, and then decided to make a quick buck a little too quickly by buying an EM Evel Knievel for 150$ on Kijiji and then Ebaying it for 2500$ even though the original ad in Kijiji was still there. He pissed off the original seller, all MAACA members and pretty much everyone on RGP by his actions and attitude.
