That’s what I’m talking about!

Saw those too. It's crazy. Just now too ... a Corvette just got posted for 11k and an Elvis for 15k lol

Also not sure why people get angry and tell others to STFU? We're just chatting about pricing and how nuts it has gone. This is Pinside. You've gotta expect it. These conversations happen all of the time.

Honestly, those are 2 great games and the price is good. I'm sure they will be gone soon.

im just tired of people telling shit to others. i started in this hobby during covid time. I bought about 10 pins and arcades.

im cashing them out now and loosing lot of money and honestly, im happy to quit this hobby and the pinball community(pinside). i will stick to one pin and thats it.

reading all comments here from a new pinball hobbyism is very bad, some of you are killing the hobby with your badass attitude.

The lack of self reflection and projection in that one post is truly amazing.

Congrats on bowing out of the hobby in the least graceful manner possible....your shitty attitude will not be missed.

see ya! (insert waving bye bye emoji here )

Who cares what price someone sells a game for or anything for that matter, no one is forcing anyone to buy it, if price is high wait until you find one cheaper or make an offer on what your willing to pay. Everything has a value to someone and someone’s value of a game might be different than someone else’s. Maybe someone over pays, maybe someone gets a really good deal. End of the day it’s their deal, their price, same as buying their money, their choice.

Everyone should mind their own business and be better than that. IMO

So you're saying were not allowed to discuss things? ?

Bad ass attitude? You got that from my above message? Alright. If that's what you think. All we're doing is commenting on prices. Not sure what you mean about being tired of telling shit to others? I dunno man. People can list at the price they want and some of us chose to comment on those prices openly. People do the same thing if it's a good deal and they'll comment that's "someone got a steal on that one". Nobody is being a bad ass.

There seems to be an inability for sellers to admit that prices are ridiculous.
It’s ok for someone to charge a stupid price if there’s a buyer for it.
Doesn’t mean the price isn’t ridiculous!

It's a bit more complicated than that for those who care about the scene, and context is everything.

Prices are ridiculous for sure, but has anyone bought a house, car, truck, went to the grocery store lately, look back 20 years ago what you pay for these things let alone a pinball machine, always going to be someone trying to make a dollar from something so understandably can be frustrating seeing high prices, of course discussion is always good, just seems a lot of hostility here about buying and selling a pinball machine, end of the day it is a game, play them and enjoy them

Yeah, So much of the valuation can be subjective. My only beef is if I know a person is either only in it for $, or selling off poorly maintained machines to noobs at high valuation.

The rationale is that I believe there are many amazing people who have donated so much of their life to improving and growing the pinball scene... and then with this, you basically have some parasites that choose to try to leech a few $ from people who may not know any better. In so doing, they create a trail of those people trying to get out what they are in.. kind of creates a mini inflation bubble almost. lol

Like why I can't sell a working led'd/shopped Old Coney Island for only $1100? Because I wont say "Ultra-rare game is the only one authourized by the Coney Island Assocsiation so you better not miss this once in a lifetime chance. Won't last long at only $3900"?

By the way, GP Old Coney Island for sale,...$1100, less then the cost of some em projects. One flipper is a bit weaker then the other as its a Bally coil and not the very strong GP one.

Check FB Marketplace in Guelph, Ontario. No shipping....I like folks to play it first.

You definitely have to be careful - I only bought from somewhat known PinRev members.

Always some risk without seeing so always some luck also.

Nice machine. Price is great. Kind of a funny era, that early sound and LED display seems to be a blocker for many pinballers... which is unfortunate as there are a lot of great games in that era, and when you get the feel for them, quite enjoyable and the sound grows on you.

Probably a good time for a pinball person to pick it up.. get some games on it, if it's not a keeper.. will be easy to sell at that price into the late fall I am sure...

As did I

Pinside: Come to sell your overpriced games, stay for the hot chaff! Then leave because this wasn't the chaff you were promised!

Pinball is the best hobby. Pinside is definitely full of toxic agros but it's also a valuable resource when you are stuck. Enjoy pinball and stay off of public forums if they trigger you

Seperate!

I saw this thread had 20+ posts since I was last here, and thought people must be going nuts for my slugfest! Alas, sadly that does not seem to be the case. sigh...

Maybe he will throw in a puppy?

There is a real Corvette for sale here cheaper than that pin ...
GLWS

I would love a Slugfest, such a fun game for two people, but i'm already over capacity. I think anyone who doesn't enjoy that game hasn't actually played it

Then I might be in! Lol

I agree! There are some forums here I stay completely away from! There are also more that are just awesome, friendly, helpful and just plain fun!

Any tips for shipping to the US? I've only ever dealt within Canada. I have an interested buyer down south.

I shipped a GOT to the US in the spring. It was pretty easy from my standpoint, the buyer had it picked up at my house and only needed to prep it for shipping and attach some documentation (the shipper provided) to the game, and sign an invoice for customs. Also attached game to a skid.

This is the contact they used: [email protected] (John Fletcher). They seemed pretty happy with the service, game went from Ontario to Utah.

Indeed it is a slugfest! Just not the one you were referring to.

Make the buyer make all the arrangements, you should just be responsible for palleting, packing and strapping machine. The buyer will send you the Bill of Lading that will you sign and you will affix to machine and make sure you get paid before you ship. Pretty easy…

Contact Meegis he can help you

Thanks a lot. But if they are going to sell as a package someone better step up fast. I have a good offer on the Deadpool …. might be gone.

Ya, sometimes deals are hard to pass. But if someone starts in the hobby and are looking to have 2 really different games and fun as well at the same time, this is a great combo.

Who here would be so kind in sending me some lessons learned after importing a game through Buffalo NY.
Seller says he has used shippsy recently for another Canadian pinhead.

I also remember a recent convo about shippsy in this thread that I will try to search for later today but was hoping that someone could reach out to me to explain the nitty gritty.

I have experience importing a game but it is always good to hear to other experiences as well.

Anyway… thanks in advance.

I have Used clearit.ca 4 times in the 2 years and it’s been great. The do not ship but they will be the customs broker.

Very simple online tool to use. The message you with any questions.

2 pieces of advice.

1) have the shipper lower the value of your pin unless your really concerned and want a lot of shipping insurance on it. You pay 13% tax on the value of the invoice.

2) if you have a business, you can import it under your business name, use your GST # and save ½ the tax.

May seem overwhelming but it’s pretty simple. Congrats on the new pin!

If doing #2 and you get audited, be ready to fork. The game needs to be proven a business asset and on your books. Also, will need to be declared and taxed when you sell as well.

Yeah, I had a guy off here repeatedly lie to me, even with irrefutable evidence in front of him. Blatantly ripped me off. No honour at all.

I'll only buy in person or from people I know. If you don't follow that rule, you'll run into a similar asshole eventually.
