Marketplace for Coin-Op Enthusiasts

[YourBestBet]

Hello Forum Members,

What's everyone's thought on establishing an online marketplace dedicated to coin-op machines? As you may already know, a few of the most popular marketplaces include eBay, Amazon and Etsy. Of course we could all list our items on those sites but I would like to develop a platform dedicated to coin-op and to serve a smaller community of buyers/sellers.

It would be awesome to see parts dealers like MrSlot1 list their parts on this online marketplace. We've all talked about how nice it would be to easily order the parts we need online and in a centralized location. Also, no more high commissions paid to the platform. It can be done at a fraction of the cost. I'm hoping we can slowly grow a marketplace that fills these types of gaps and gets supported by the many collectors out there.

I've already looked into the resources needed to establish this type of marketplace and built a beta version.

Good idea? Dumb idea? Questions?

Thanks!
CU

[i][i]Hi Guy's,
I would fully support the "Marketplace For Slots" as long as it was controlled by Dave, and a certain amount of the revenue went to him, for his services, this should be acceptable to sellers as the high amount of the sales that the likes of Ebay charge would allow the seller to give a little better deal to the buyer who would also receive a better buy.

Sellers and especially buyers could not wish for a better place to sell their machines than this Forum, that as so many genuine and knowledgible people who really know what they are talking about, especially on the vast range of machines from every country in the World.

Great idea, one that I would support 100%.

How is this different from listing your machines for sale in the "For Sale" section of this forum or listing them on Dave's Price Guide or listing them on the COCA website? All are available to us and charge no commission.

I'm ALL IN for this Marketplace idea, but it should be put into writing, that if anyone lists a "Golden Magget",
(other than an genuine original, that is), will be cancelled-out of this Forum, PERIOD. And we don't want to
see anyone trying to OFF one of the Vegas Butcher Phonies that they got stung with. You should have done
your homework first. In fact, contact the Butcher to take it back. A small handful have already done so.
This Forum, and anything to do with it, should be looked upon as a safe haven to buy & sell with honest
dealers & collectors alike.
