Selling my RBI Machine

[Re-Peat]

For my part I can assure you that I'd be there ASAP to pick it up... no hassle.

Here is a quick pic of the RBI machine... ...I'm thinking about going through ebay because of the interest (and the suggestion from Brookens)... ...I have to pull it out of it's corner and clean it up a bit though. Stay tuned.

Why would you put it on EBay if there is enough interest on here?
You could avoid the fees by just selling it yourself.  I would just start the bidding at the lowest reasonable price you are willing to sell it for, and just let people outbid eachother on a first come basis.

I would agree.  Your biggest bidders will be RBI fans in the area.  And all of them are on this site.

These Nintendo sit down jobs aren't the greatest of sellers anyway.  Why let ebay take 8% or whatever?  You can go to any number of Arcade type sites and get a value estimate of the game and just price it at that or let the couple of Dee-Neers bid on it over a couple of days.  You'll come out further ahead most likely and ensure that one of our own get it.

Start the bidding at $200 or something and put the bid increments at $25.  Have people bid and whoever has the last bid in without someone beating it (allow 12 hour windows) sell it to them.

10-4, let me put the thing together and sort out the golf side issues... ...then I gotta get it out of the basement into the garage... ...this is quite the process but I'm enjoying it.

I only paid $150 for it, so whatever parts I buy to refurb it added to that would be the starting bid.

I'll  keep you guys posted.

You might as well put it up on craiglist then.

Can't really do bidding on craigslist.

If this thing ends up on ebay, I'm gonna be really disappointed.

For some reason I think I first linked to this one on ebay like 2 years ago.

You might have Attezz... ...it was up in Green Bay... ...no worries, I'm dedicated to it going to a proper home, so I'll dee-nee it, just thought the ebay thing would've been an easy way to auction it.

My main concern is that I don't want to sell the thing to someone and then have the thing explode on them two weeks later.

I didn't think it was going to live through the trip in the 1989 Chevy Cavalier station wagon from Green Bay to Milwaukee, remarkable it turned on when I got it home.
