No the loonie is pretty well bottomed out I think. All the bad news is failing to drop oil any lower (not for lack of trying) so this is just the worst time to buy. Keep it within Canada and Australia if you want to buy. My advice is save your walking dead dollars. More zombie shit is coming down the pipe.

VG has his TWDLE for sale right now.

anyone have a look at that STTNG on kijiji for 3600.00?
located in shushwap

Spence , yea i just pm'd you the link about his redemption stuff.
shit i was in anglemont for 3 weeks this summer, staying just down the road, if i would have known then i would have loaded up.

Have a nice Frankenstein we maybe interested in trading....I did send you a email on KIJIJI

Off market.

Machine is off the market and is pending sale, looking to replace it in my lineup any of the following machines: Doctor Who, Fathom, Centaur, Flash Gordon

What's your guys thoughts now about buying pins nib or from the USA with the cnd so low.

I wanted to buy wrestlemania LE but I just got a quote and I have to say no to it now

The weakness of our dollar has effectively killed any notion of buying anything NIB (well other than my MMRLE which I paid for last July) or used pins from the States for me at least. Shame....cause I see alot of titles I wouldn't mind going after but after figuring out exchange and then customs....just doesn't make it worth it at the moment.

We have no choice but to wait for dollar to come back close to par. The games aren't going anywhere. Buying a huo in a year will save you even more money too. Just be happy with what you have or buy local used pins in the meantime.

Of course this requires patience...Not our strong suit!

Yes NIB LE purchases are going to be a tough sell in Canada right now due to the low dollar. If you are patient thou you can still get some good deals. I just got my Mustang LE for a little lower then what I bought my STLE and that was 12 months later. The chance you take is that they might sell out of LE's but everyone is in the same boat with these NIB's now until the dollar goes down. I have also made a pact I will not buy a NIB until the code is mature after the MET and STLE fiasco's...

Speaking of which......I'm looking for a Mustang Premium or LE if anyone is thinking of selling. TWD Premium or LE is on my want list too.

looking for an gnr mystery when lit/axl plastic and an wh20 left boulder if any of you Canadians have these kicking around and don't need them, txs

P'med

Bump. Price now $7500.

7500cdn is a pretty good price for this considering the exchange rate.

Yes it is......but he won't ship. So for that reason, I'm out!

Haha... dragon's den.

I prefer shark tank lol

Those show's are great, I don't miss an episode.

still hoping to find the left boulder for wh2o, the one where the mine is. anyone got one kicking around they can let go?

Indeed. The one time when paying the full value in advance saved a pile of toonies. 20% extra for shipping I can live with for MMR.

WTB: Been trying to track down a nice 8 Ball Deluxe Standard Edition.

Figured I would post in here too as people may not check other threads

WTB - 7 Digit numeric display for a millionaire.

I think its standard center nipple but i will confirm when i get home. I'm sure i can drill a hole regardless since its on the botton of the board, don't think there are any traces there. either way i am hoping someone has one before I hit up MAD when they get some in stock.

Thanks,

Wrong forum

A pretty nice Dr. Dude just got listed in Ottawa here for $1650.

I thought GAP had a pair of these posted for sale recently; can't comment on price or how reasonable shipping or picking them up would be, but FWIW...

I thought they looked cool.

4200usd for the pair plus exchange plus 12% at the border U.S. maybe $500 shipping.

hey thanks - this is my ad

Pinside users can PM me here as well if they're interested

Thanks Guys for the leads but looking for the DX version.

Pretty sure it was a joke, hence the smiley.

Lets all get mad at each other like every other forum.

In case there's anyone out there who doesn't know Bob from Red Deer yet, I bought a CFTBL off him and had to replace basically everything on the playfield. All the plastics looked like someone had gone at the machine with a hammer. Scorch marks on the playfield and some warped parts where the ball ejects from ramps.

Plus no creature hologram. It was "Marked down" to 3200, but really should have been 2500 max. And I hate getting the machine with no hologram because I have no idea if he just took it out and sold it separately. But I'm sure it just went black and got thrown out, as is common.

He warned me it wasn't cleaned or shopped at all and the middle ramp had been glued. But literally everything needed replacing. Fortunately I bought it expecting a project machine (having heard stories of Bob) so I was happy to rescue it from him. And the game plays great so my friends and I love it.

Cabinet is in good condition so it looks great in my collection. No regrets for me, just want to give another heads up about Red Deer, make sure you see and test the machines there before buying.

Yep,kidding

Hi Guys! Long time reader, first time writer... I need a new pin! I have a really nice STTNG and an impeccable LOTR (thanks Al!). There's room for one more, and the wife says 'go ahead'... I need to strike while the iron is hot. I've been spoiled by these two great machines, so I'm looking for something equally as nice. I'm not fixed on anything in particular, but something from the top 20 would be preferred (AFM & IJ would be near the top). Any thoughts/offers would be appreciated!

BTW... great forum! So many helpful people... I've had to make a few tweaks to my pins and the info on this site has been invaluable. Thanks again!

PM sent

I've purchased from him - as long as you know going in that he's a business, and some (many) his machines are in players condition, then you're fine.

Bob's actually a really nice guy, and if you hate what you end up with he'll let you come back and swap for something else.

As long as you're educated about what to expect & what you're getting, and you can deal with paying more because he's a business and not a hobbyist, I would say you're fine dealing with him (which seems to be the general consensus!)

_{Post edited by robbiedoo: Accidentally re-quoted a quote!}

so... we should be okay he takes advantage of people trying to get into the hobby and leaves a sour taste in their mouth because they have literally no way to know what to expect? Trust me, i've seen how he describes his machines, they are to swindle the uneducated, not most of us.

Gimme a break....

Yes, that is the one. I dealt with the rust by soaking the screws and nuts in CLR, replaced some that wouldn't be salvaged. new ramps plastics and rubbers. Full flipper replacement. Will be polishing the playfield and replacing Mylar in due time. Fully LED and have mikes hologram mod on the way. Ordered the ramps from Australian pinball parts so got a really good price. I would say in the end I will have $3200 in purchase price plus $1500ish in shipping and replacement parts including hologram and tv screen. That leaves me $1000 to grab a replacement playfield down the line and you'll be on target with your $2500 estimate to repair. Gives me a $5700 fully restored cftbl... A little steep but I also paid 5k for my shadow getting it from the states with shipping and exchange etc. (great condition). So yeah he had no problem ripping me off but as I said I had a feeling it was coming and wanted a project machine for the satisfaction of fixing it anyway.
