So, last night, out of the blue, I get a text from a woman I do not know, asking me if I would like to buy a nice Earthshaker. Apparently, she runs an estate sale business and saw my "for sale" ad on CL (I placed it a month ago). She has seen ads on ebay for near $2000 but would take $1000. She only called me. Its 3 miles from my house. "Hell yes!" I said, of course.
Went over there today. The house is a mansion. The pin is in absolutely mint condition. She bought it 12 years ago from a high end retailer and it has like 100 plays since then. 12 years HUO. The kids went to college. The backglass was like a blinding mirror, I needed sunglasses like the character in the car. PF, plastics and cabinet perfect too.
Well, the game turned on but wouldn't play. Then it did but just one time. I could hear the sounds, they were just low. Its something simple, its just been sitting a while. Battery, fuse, etc. Should take my tech guy 10 minutes to be 100%. She lowered the price to - $750.00.
Sometimes the pinball gods smile at you. This is one of those days.
