Pinfest - Machines for Sale (Show Offers)

[James]

Hi all,

As my first attendance, I don't know how these things work...

I am looking to move my No Fear on and am also in the market for a replacement, question is, 1 (@Big Phil) should I bring my game along and look for a sale for it? Is that allowed? Will others be doing the same so I could take something home?

Secondly, is there any ever "Show Offers" on for vendors at the show? Should I start saving now?

Cheers,
James

Normally some games for sale, normally not allowed to be removed till after hours

There will likely be any number of machines with For Sale signs on, I know at least one of mine will be. Always a good place to try and pick up a bargain - especially as Sunday evening looms and the thought of having to pack your own machine away . Got to be worth £50 off the price to sell it before then.

As Poibug said, machines can't be moved out while the show is open, and it's normally good form for whoever's buying to only take the machine on the Sunday evening - rather than buying it on Friday and taking it straightaway thus leaving a gap.

@Big Phil - do you have (or want) a No Fear then?

May take my tdk and put up for sale if room in the van but not looking likely

 

[Big Phil]

Hey James. You can bring a machine and put it up for sale. No problem. You'll still have to purchase a ticket though. Think that's courteous enough as you're using the event to sell your machine.

 

[Big Phil]

And as mentioned above. All machines on the floor are to stay on the floor until the event finishes on Sunday.

Hey @Big Phil tickets and hotel were ordered months ago, but I noticed you said you were full on spaces recently.

 

[Big Phil]

You can still bring it along. I'm sure we'll squeeze it in somewhere and get a for sale sticker slapped on it

There is one room where I'm having a few small arcade machines. We can pop a couple of pins in there too as an overflow.
