Pinside.com Information

Pinside offers a Marketplace for used and new pinball games, parts, mods etc. Listing an ad is free of charge. There are paid promotional options to select when you place an ad. Pricing is listed right beside each option. When you successfully sell a pinball machine via our Marketplace, there is a sales value fee, based on a tiered system. Wanted ads and pinball parts ads do not have a mandatory sales fee. A voluntary donation upon ending the ad is requested (and appreciated!). A sales value fee based on a game price tier? How does that work? Pinside assigns each game in our archive to a game price tier. This classification is done yearly, based on the average sales price we see in our Market for that game, over the past 2 years. The tiers are: Tier 0: $0-$500 games Tier 1: $500-$1500 games Tier 2: $1500-$2500 games Tier 3: $2500-$3500 games Tier 4: $3500-$5000 games Tier 5: $5000+ games Each tier has an associated selling fee, which is charged when ending the ad and only upon successful sale of your game. Are there any refunds on donations, market promo- or sales value fees? Donations are not refundable. Once a donation is made, a red heart icon is added to you username and will be displayed red for a year. After a year it turns gray as a subtle reminder to donate again :-) Marketplace paid promotion fees are not refundable because they are effective immediately. Once an ad is promoted you might well sell it within an hour! The sales value fee upon successful sale of your game (requested when ending your ad listing) is not refundable because the service you're paying for has already been provided. robin edited this story on August 04, 2016.
