If I can sell this Damn Monte Carlo I will be going up there Mark, I can grab whatever you need..

going to kanata Monday if it can help to bring something from montreal.

Thanks Corey - that makes it easier to filter through the posts...

B1 - that would be great -  Hope it sells!!!!

Thanks Hyann,  I'm not sure if that will help or not at this point.  I'd still need to get it to the Toronto/London area.

Me too   Just doing some fishing on kijiji with it... http://london.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-other-Gottlieb-Monte-Carlo-Pinball-Machine-W0QQAdIdZ50813499

WOW I have already received 5 emails asking assorted things that involve me being crazy, being mentally unstable (actually used a R word that I dislike) and a couple regarding a lubricant...

Obviously this is why it's called "fishing" for the home user, I don't expect that; What I do expect is a home user to "lowball" me 900-1000 which is still way better than the 500-600 it's worth.

Keep the colour coming

So you are openly admitting that you are trying to dupe some uninformed buyer to pay $900 - $1000 on a machine that you have said is worth $500 - $600

Yea that is going to get you well liked here  

Not duping anyone....did I ask you buy it? or did I even post it here originally...

It's worth what someone will pay, I recall when I first got into this ANY working SS pin for 1000 was a deal So I thought, and SO I spent, I am not here to offend you any other members but...
A working pin in this condition IS worth 900-1000 IMO Just not to you guys or I guess "Pin guys" in general ONLY because it is a Gottlieb and pin people don't seem to like Gottlieb

So anyway sorry to offend you or anyone else, but in MY opinion it is worth 900-1000 -I only stated 500-600 because that is it's worth to "pin guys"

So like I said you are trying to dupe an uniformed buyer.

It's not worth that price to us "pin guys" because we are informed about market prices on machines.  So because you are trying to find some uniformed patsy to pay your inflated price you think that's ok because you arn't trying to sell it to a "pin guy'?  

I know everyone has the "Man I got hosed on my first pinball purchase story" but do you really wanna be that guy, the guy that if the person you sell that machine to says, "Yea my first machine was a Monte Carlo, this a**hole charged me $700 more then it was worth because I didn't know any better, now that I'm informed I would never have paid that price."  

Yea I know that a pinball is worth what someone is willing to pay, but personaly my morals wouldn't let me sleep at night knowing that I duped someone to pay double for a machine just because they didn't know any better.

Well said. And that is why I would buy a pinball sight unseen from Adam. He's a rare breed.

Good on ya!
