To be completely honest, I tend to agree with Tyrem.
We have very little information about the machines, no inside pictures. From the looks of a lot of them, they have been converted (Berzerk f.i., even though it's not for sale).
Having the original board-sets and monitor in the machines makes a Huge difference in value.
Is it REALLY that hard to read???:
I told anybody that I have to go back to bring the machines out in the light to make hi-res-images and to test if they work.
Some members here act like I would make a jumble sale....I just picked 2 games and both are not for sale, more to come next time, so why should YOU have inside pictures when not even I have seen how they look inside??? Hell, I did not even really start pulling games out, so screw down you postulations.
Hell I even have to justify the conditions of the Berzerk although it is not even for sale.
Tyrem, to clear things here:
The problem YOU have is that you wanted me to make you an offer to make sure that you not going to pay one cent more than the smallest sum I would accept and when I told you that I (of course) try to get the best price you said:
...wir würden uns nur gegenseitig den preis in die höhe treiben. ist zwar schade, aber ich lasse dann lieber die finger davon....
Means: We only would bid against one another in the forum which would push the price up...so I keep my hands off of it.
Since that very day you try to make a bad mood against me and the find.
I am not going to explain it one more time, the serious guys have email-contact with me and wait for my mails with further pictures and informations about the conditions of there games.
I keep my agreemenst with them and I will try my best to answer all questions and to make the deal as transparet as possible....as for the other guys who does not even have commitment from me, stop you demands!
And btw, I did not ask anybody to purchase from me, in the minute I posted the images people tried to convince me to sell games and now suddenly I have to exculpate myself for the way I handle the clearing.
I am not interested in your criticsm like: "I tend to agree with Tyrem, I tend to agree with Tyrem...." You can agree with Tyrem all day long....but I dont care! I dont need anything from you or the other guys that think I have a responsability to them.
I have contact with a handful very serious members who dont bother me every day. I have the agreement with them that I go back, bring the machines out in the light, clean them a bit, photography them and test if they work, and they are ok with that.
Since you mean I do someting wrong or reprehensable I will stop answering to requests, I keep my word to the guys I have agreements with and just go on just posting pictures of the clearing.
I stop justifying for the work I do and continue to report about the clearing:
The Galaxian went home with me today, some friends came with me and I was able to make around 800€ profit for the seller.
My friend Thomas has bought a very cool Wurlitzer Cigarette-automat, some kind of old slot-machines, a small carousel-motocycle and other atique goods.
Martin took 2 old cocktail tables, one that looks like an poker-machine (buttons only) and a very very nice Phönix cocktail.
We cleaned the Phönix 2 hours long, installed power cord, plugged it in and.....
in worked flawlessly.
I do not have even one game that is in such a nice shape.
Monitor is crisp and clear, the cabinet looks almost like new, the sticks are firm and the buttons looks almost unused....it really makes me a bit jelous that I dont have such a perfect game.
Only negative point is that the image is a bit off-center but I could not find the pots to correct it.
