Welcome to the Florida Arcade and Pinball Collector Group Classified Section

General Rules


This forum is offered as a Free service to our users. Please be respectful of it's purpose.

This sub is presented "as-is". You are on your own as far as buying and selling. Please use common sense and fully research any item before you buy it. Make sure it works, ask lots of questions, etc. This is not ebay so typically when a deal is done, it's done. Act accordingly.

Posting Pictures

Please be respectful of the picture policy. When possible please use an off-site host to save bandwidth. More information on posting pictures can be found here.

Posting Rules

Please do not SPAM us! If you are selling multiple items make 1 post not 20. Please do not post the same ad over and over.

Remember to post a location for all items (if your location is not set in your user profile)

If your item sells please update your listing. Also if you sold the item through the board consider dropping a few coins into the tip jar. We just saved you eBay fees and CL hassles!

Off topic items (ie non-pinball or arcade) is acceptable in moderation, please include 'OT' in the post.

If you are posting a link to Craigslist or eBay please make a note of it in your post title, especially if the link is to an item you are not selling.

Price Policing

Price Policing is defined as posting negative comments about somebody elses item. This can be pointing out that the item is overpriced or that you do not like the game. This is bad etiquette.

If you do not like the price on an item you are under no obligation to buy it. Simply move along and let the seller and buyer decide on what the fair price is.

This also includes posts calling out a seller for selling the game at a higher price than what he paid for it. (example: hey I see you are selling the game you bought for $200 2 months ago for $300.. etc). Once again this is none of your business at this point. It's 'merica, people are allowed to make a profit. If you think the situation is somehow unfair or unfriendly.. sort it out in a PRIVATE MESSAGE.

If you still can't resist letting the seller know he is way out of line, USE A PRIVATE MESSAGE! There is no reason to 'call out' a seller on this sub. This sub is not for opinion based discussion, this is a classified sub. Opinions can be freely posted on any of the other subs.

When in doubt on anything, use a PRIVATE MESSAGE!

Buyers! If you are unsure about the price of an item feel free to use our search feature to look for previous sales. Also make use of ebays 'sold' search feature, Mr. Pinball, etc. Finally feel free to post a message in the main arcade forum. You have a multitude of options to help you decide if the price is reasonable.
