Jim  (Jvegas), do you realize that ever since your $1500 Fire Sale post,
you've caused MASS Hysteria on this board  .

Just look at what's going on...

People selling-off their Grails,
others trying to sell pins they just got,
...families are being torn apart by this...

You are reaking havoc and leaving a trail of carnage and destruction along the way.

So thanks Jim ...,  thanks alot !



Steph

...oh, and before I get flamed for my previous post ,
let me clarify that this was s-a-r-c-a-s-m  for those who missed it...


[ ...I spend too much time on this forum....]

I know, (...your last post hinted that it was someting else...), but it's fun to blame Jim anyways  !



Steph

Let me throw my two cents in by saying that Jim has flooded the market here with all his pins, and with so much being available it sure makes it tough for others to sell their pins and buy others. Never seen so much for sale on this Forum. With supply being so much, no wonder that prices are dropping. Good luck to all on your sales!!

Guilty as charged...but this is truly the end of it. Its absolute zero fun for me now and I want to be done for good. When these are finally gone I will be too.

Wanna bet?

The line in Vegas is 5:2 against the above statement.

I'd put my house on it this time..if you lost before you'd get it all back this time around. I'm just fed up with it.

Ouch...

I didn't mean to touch on a sore spot with this [intended] humurous post...

I thought you were still having fun ( especially after Allentown and your HD pin pick-up),
but I guess the novelty probably wears off when you try to sell 25 pins every month...

Part of me is saying "take a loan out and buy all these incredibly low-priced pins NOW",
but the other half is saying "hey, moron, you work at Nortel and you could be without
a job next week, ...  with 3 kids to feed and bills to pay ... "

Hope everything plays out for the best...

If finances weren't a factor, I would have rented a trailer by now and be on my way to Kanata.... even BEFORE the firesale.

House not required. G&R would suffice.

Are you getting the message yet?

If finances wern't a factor you'd have to beat me there

Why can't he flood the market with the A list titles I still want?

I'd like to unsarcastically thank Jim for his hard work in bringing lots of games into the local area. People seem like they're complaining about him increasing the supply! Nonsense, more pins = more fun.

I own one of his machines (that he acquired from a local operator), and helped deliver a TZ to another member, and dealing with Jim has been a pleasure. I for one and greatly saddened that he has decided to throw in the towel, and hopes that at some time in the future he returns. Hanging out at his warehouse and chatting with fellow MAACA members was a lot of fun.

If I had more space/cash, I'd help take more of his pins off his hands. I look forward to picking up my Mars Trek though

Here here! I have bought 6 pins from Jim in the past and always was happy with what I bought, but most of all just chatting with Jim was always a pleasure (and still is).

If I can offer some advice Jim... slack off the massive buying/selling, but don't stop collecting for yourself. Just enjoy the hobby for yourself. Period. You will enjoy it MUCH more. And if there is an older early-SS pin that you have and want cleaned up, send it my way... I will clean it up for you. (cheap bribe to keep you on as a member!!!    )

I just wish he was closer too me; there's a couple that I am even considering the drive for anyway, damn

I too have to thank Jim - I have bought 5 pins from him (and have been satisifed with all of them). Please don't quit entirely Jim!   I will miss your show-room visits. I agree with Sparky though - slow down a little (maybe only 3 - 4 pins a year) . One thing is for sure - You go whole Hog!

Perhaps all us Ottawa buyers should take Jim out for a beer one night. Maybe we could do a pin crawl   (might have to spend a fortune on taxis given the few areas to play).

If people in Toronto want these pins, I am going through TO this Saturday with a big rental truck.  

As long as Jim & I can make arrangements to get the pins on the truck early Saturday morning - and you meet the truck at the Islington exit - Walmart - then you can get the pin delivered.   Asking $100 for delivery - but if there's a few - and the logistics are easy - I'll lower the price.

I'd be at the drop-off point sometime between 2 & 4.  

I'm trying to facilitate a few members that want these pins - but don't want the hassle of delivery.

I honestly don't know the final destination yet - but have been told Cambridge area.   I'm trying to avoid this turning into a milk run - as its going to be a long day already.   If you could meet us @ the destination (Cambridge) that could work.

Dave

No problem. I will make it all the way to Calgary for ya. Except I won't be delivering anything.

I will be willing to school you on a couple of games, which is far more worthwhile than any pin is.

Unfortunately timing is everything Jim and the cash flow is too low right now.  If cash wasn't an issue, there's a couple of pins I'd take off your hands for sure.  It's been a pleasure to pop by your show room and your place, hope you do stick around in some capacity but if it's not fun, it's not fun, I understand.
