2 for 1 trade

Post by Ran »

Hey guys
Does anyone know this gentleman looking to trade paragon and Rollergames in Waterford?
My wife is a huge roller derby fan and I'm a huge fan of flying tigers.
Tried emailing the craigslist post but no response.
It may be a scam but ya never know.

I got a response, he quoted me 3k for both. I was interested in the Paragon, but not at that price.

Interesting.
Does seem high.
Maybe he'll email me back and I can talk with him about a trade scenario.

Wozers!

That seems high. Wonder if he is associated with the Madison flipper selling a Paragon? isnt he also asking 3k?

$3K? More like 1500-2000. I'm assuming average condition games, didn't check those out real close. $3K is bat-spit crazy.

Even $2K is too much. Chances are if you talk trade he'll way overvalue his own games and downvalue your "much nicer" games. Both Paragon and Rollergames are fun games (I owned a nice Paragon that I sold for $750), but I wouldn't trade away anything in your collection for them.

Mostly toying with the idea of trading Flintstones for two older games since I don't have funds to purchase a game right now to work on/play this winter. And ideally I'd like to have 4 games in my little "Man Cave." One per corner.

I can loan you a game if you want one to work on ;)

Do you want to do a playfield swap on TX...

I don't think you'd want my first attempt at a playfield swap to be your TX ;)
Is probably screw something up and the audio would callout XT, XT, XT...

LOL.

I trust you. Seriously, if you are interested in shopping out one of my games or doing a pf swap, I am happy to loan it out :) You can even play it for a bit after you clean it up.

I can't play them all at once and I will be back onto a house project for the next month or 2 (the deal is pin project, then house project, then pin prohect; rinse and repeat) so not much pin action in the Jones household.
The alternating projects keeps me from getting burnt out on either thing and let s me feel productive.
