Lack of machines for sale

[Dex-Jay]

Yep, gone

Dude, that's like totally rad!
I love the art package on Radical. Not played it but it looks fun too.

Quick question , that might upset some- did we see fewer pins sold on here due to the introduction of a fee?

 

[AlanJ]

^ dont think so. Its just demand outstripping supply and folk hanging on until that ****ing next container arrives from Sternland,

I can't see anyone begrudge paying say £10 for a Pin they are selling for £1000's.

Exactly!
I can’t afford to buy, and got nothing to sell. More than happy to pay the £10, just to be part of the community.
A tenner is a pittance, compared to flea bay taxes

Don’t think so but I wonder if it has put off anyone joining just sell a pin?
Maybe we should let new members sell their pin free for the first week

We'd get a lot of Roscoes

True but you would have to collect then you can kick them in the balls

Doubtful, it's only a minimum tenner after all. I know some people are tight but versus ebay and the like, this place is heavenly

 

[The seeker]

ok fair enough its just it would be fair to say they're was a distinct lack of machines posted for sale after the "listing price" came into effect... may well be covid timing etc . im happy to pay , tho i did and still do find it possibly harder than it should be to find the donate button .

 

[mufcmufc]

I agree with this, I had to talk someone through it last week and it was a struggle for me to find it all. I meant to give @Paul a shout about it

 

[AlanJ]

if you’re on a phone. go to the menu, scroll down and donations is at the bottom. simples

 

[The seeker]

yes if you tell someone how to do it , just have a big red donate rectangle on the for sale page ... simpleres

Don't you mean one of a kind limited edition collectors item , you won't see another one the same

 

[Drew.m]

I can help the thread get back on track:

Genie - £1450
Riverboat Gambler - £1750
Spirit (Project) - £850
High Roller Casino (wrong legs) - £2200
Flash (needs work) - £850

Not all will go, but a chance for someone to grab a cheaper machine.

Hi Matt, is the Spirit still available ?

Looks like this is now sold, pending payment.

Who dropped 9 GRAND on Tron?! I almost crashed my Light Cycle

That's "only" ~US$12k, and looking at pinside Tron LEs are going for $20k or so... So it would've been profitable to buy that Tron and resell it overseas even with the cost of shipping (not that I would do that).

I recently realised I was showing as "registered" rather than "site supporter" as it was over 12 months since I last donated, and it took me ages to work out how to donate.

Someone mentioned that it is relatively easy on a phone, but for those of us old gits with dodgy eyesight who insist on using one of those computer things with a proper screen rather than a little phone, it's nigh on impossible to find how to donate.

I think I eventually found it by searching for threads with "donate" in, and in one found a link to the donate function.

It would certainly be better if it was more obvious/easy.

...and as others have mentioned, £10 is peanuts if it helps a little towards the running of this forum - I'm certainly happy to support it, regardless of whether I'm selling a pin - I've actually never sold one, but have donated each time I've bought one, and now donate anyway even if not buying or selling any.

There is a "Donations" option at the top of the page - right hand side:

But if you have a small screen (or a massive screen and don't operate browser windows full screen) you end up with this:



Then it's not obvious what is beyond the arrow (and most people may not notice or ever go and look)

I feel the same, haven’t been on long and know f all about pinball and haven’t sold anything,but do enjoy the forum and £10 is nothing in the scheme of things.

Thanks for this.

As I do have dodgy eyesight, I have all browser windows zoomed in to make it easier to read the text. This results in my screen looking like this, so it wasn't obvious to scroll across!

Aha, maybe move "Donations" to be on the lhs then! "Home, Forums, Donations, What's new......."

Hows that???

 

[Judderman]

So good I used it twice once - site supporter again now.

 

[Dex-Jay]

Hows that???

That's better! I'd even consider using red text too....

 

[Rob zombie]

Just donated. Another 12 months of Jaguar Land Rover Group bashing is worth it for the money. I can claim it back as charity work.

 

[Poibug]

I thought my Genesis for sale was good value at £1.4k.
But no nibbles, yet.
Maybe just crazy for Dmds and Lcds
