I bought a machine from 1950 for $100 last week and have been playing the heck out of it. Does that mean I am a low end pin man? I think not! It just means I have good taste.

Quoted from dasvis:Don't sell yourself short....
Ok I'll admit it. You may have put it down on paper but I wrote the book on low endness. Even in the EM world.
Quoted from electricsquirrel:What were they going for?
It looks like the list is still up. There were lots of machines. If you hit the watch only button you can see them.
Quoted from JoeNewberry:I will make it work anyway.
And we will try to sell the mice at the pet store.

Quoted from jrpinball:it may not pay to get a new glass for an otherwise marginal machine.
And if you do order a new glass, make sure it's a game you plan on keeping for a while.

Quoted from dasvis:It's an honor to have you in the club O-din.
Thanks! I grew up digging beer cans out of trash cans and delivering newspapers to deadbeats that didn't want to pay, so I know what being a low end man is all about.
Quoted from Al:Digging beer cans out of the trash, wow that brings back memories...thanks for that reference.
There is a lot of competition in that industry now, it seems.
They were half a penny each when I made my living that way. Of course living with my folks there was no rent to be paid.
Thanks!
Like when my three year older brother got a new Schwinn ten speed for his 12th birthday, and I was drooling over the Krates all lined up and my mom said "you can have a new bike when you turn twelve too."
Yeah, I got my brother's beat up ten speed.
Low end man strikes again!
Oh, I know!
Here's one for the low end Krate man.

Quoted from PinballFever:Is there no glory for the HEPs?
Yes. They can be placed closer to the window in the room to shade our low end machines to keep the original paint from fading anymore than it already has.
Quoted from electricsquirrel:Guitar guys are paying big bucks for brand new guitars that are pre-stressed.
These are new guitars that are made to look like they have been drug behind a truck.
Why doesn't this concept work for the LEP man?
Just imagine what your collection could be worth!
I was pretty tempted to drag Metallica behind my truck when I owned it.
Quoted from Roostking:you don't on dinasaur rock themed games!
Depends on if can get one cheap enough.
Quoted from tamoore:I got my Klondike at an auction for 120 dollars not working. It's in pretty good shape, and a few hours cleaning it up and switch adjusting got it working.
Klondike is now a $140 game folks!

Quoted from guard:And I just picked up another Jolly Roger for $350 with a mint BG and very nice PF......going to combine to make a very nice pin for me and a free, not so nice pin, for my friend.
Love me some Jolly Roger! Congrats! I sometimes wish I still had mine. Probably the best 4 Player EM I owned. Everybody loved it It's so fun to play.
Only reason it's gone is I was thinning the herd and the layout is kinda similar to Pit Stop.
No Pit Stop, Jolly Roger would still be here. Mine was kinda rough. If a nice one shows up, I may get another.
