“A setup or pinball property is a house listed with an unrealistically high asking price that is visited by lots of agents and shoppers but that attracts no offers. The problem is this: Real estate agents, including even the listing agent, are using the overpriced house as a negative example to bounce buyers over to similar homes nearby that carry lower asking prices.”

If an agent tried to show me something like that, I’d be asking “why are you wasting my time with this overpriced junk?” inside of five minutes.

Damn, I thought this was about a vintage arcade opening up here. Read the article in the UT earlier, but miss the old arcade games at Chuck E Cheeses and those other spots.

It’s not the same playing on MAME. 🙁

Fisherman’s Wharf in SF is generally speaking a tourist trap, but if y’all are into that kind of thing, the Musee Mechanique is highly recommended!

One of these days, I’ll invite folks over to play on my still working Atari 2600… Combat….
