For you guys near the Canada/Buffalo border...
I have a nice wh20 and a nice flintstones I'd sell or trade.
Wh20: cab is nice and unfaded. PF is very nice without planking, etc. 1 cracked boulder. Leds. Backbox has it's dings but I have decals for those so inclined. New topper dome. $4500 obo (US funds).
Flintstones: cab very nice. Head just a few minor dings. PF gorgeous. Leds. $3000.
If I were to trade, I'd look mainly at system 11 type pins, specifically Dr. Dude, bad cats, diner. Although open to ideas.
Thanks!

Yeah, it just seemed... abrupt. Usually if people take time off, they leave a thread to say they are taking a break to save $, have more time, etc.

Let people here know if you get in touch again.

That's what I thought too. Hopefully he's just taking a break and we're all just reading into this too much.

i was just talking to him 2 days ago about he wanted to know if i had access to my old MSF and if it was available for purchase i told him yes and never heard back from him it is really strange to say the least i hope he is OK as well

Hey man, not quite sure of what the rates are. Just putting it on here as I'm close to the border.
Nevermind, I won't post FS threads on here this thread.

Nevermind him The more games to buy the better.
Nicer games are hard enough to find,it's just that our dollar sucks right now.

Just pointing out the reality of the situation, not trying to bring you down.
Quoted from eh97ac:Just pointing out the reality of the situation, not trying to bring you down.
Well what do you want me to do? Drop 2k off my price because you live in Canada? My asking price is somewhat standard for a wh20 in the States and it is OBO.
Ever think that maybe I'd deliver, therefore you wouldn't have to pay a tax?
I've purchased pins in Canada and deliver pins to Canada and never paid a tax as I'm from the US.
Quoted from Bigbossfan:That's a great offer BlackBeard. Don't get that often!!
Got a GnR or Soprano's??
Had a GNR a year ago. Sweet pin but sold her away!

Good luck with that. Those prices are super high even without the exchange.
Quoted from Gorno:Good luck with that. Those prices are super high even without the exchange.
No problem. I'll just sell them in the states. Just thought I'd extent out and offer them to my friends up north. Never mind.
Blackbeard.... Always nice to see an extended offer.
If people dont like your price, then they wont buy. No harm in expanding your sales though. Dont be put back by some of the negative nancys here.
I always like to hear whats available to me, and if its something I want, and the price is fair, Id go for it.

Yeah Gorno that was a real douche bag comment... that was a very non Canadian thing to say...
Quoted from pinchamp:Yeah Gorno that was a real douche bag comment... that was a very non Canadian thing to say...
A shitty price is a shitty price. Regardless, of where the offer originates from. Offer all the machines your little hearts desire. Just don't expect a bad price to be accepted without a commentary.

How is it a "shitty price"? Wh20 go for 4-4.5k in the states all day. I have it Obo too. I even offered the possibility of delivery (moreso for a trade). No good deed goes unpunished I guess
You've got a really bad attitude.
I have nothing against blackbeard and he's one of the few who actually offers his games to Canada. It's not his fault the dollar is in the shits...so how about we all cut the guy some slack. If you are not happy with the price, then don't buy it.
i don't think $4-4.5K USD (or best offer) is completely out of line for a WH20. the offer to get it across the border just makes it all that much better.
keep in mind people that not everybody has to buy USD at the current spot exchange rates - some people have USD funds saved, others have sources of USD income, and many have probably recently sold a pin to someone in the US and have some USD on hand.
Blackbeard please keep posting here as i am always interested in what's available in NY state. i sold my Dr. Dude to someone in the US a few months back or else i would have absolutely been in for a trade + cash!

I am not stopping anyone. Go ahead.
Absolutely agree with Flash, Monty and some others. That was my point above. It was a great gesture by Beard to offer his pins to the GWN (Great White North). Particularly if he's offering to bring across the border and potentially save the buyer some $$. Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating for any illegal border shit (LOL.....believe me, I've paid the government enough in taxes bringing pins across the border!).
Beard, don't let the few ruin it for you. If you have something you think may interest us Canucks, I urge you to post away.
Nothing's ruined because of one guy.
I cannot understand what gornos issue is though. Some guys just can't be happy. Ever.
No worries fellas. I've never dealt with a Canadian I couldn't get along with. (And I'm a Sabres fan)
Quoted from ls1chris:kinda off topic but anyone have a space ace arcade interested in swapping for a starwars upright?

Any chance you might sell the RFM nos PF?
Thanks

If any Canucks are ordering from Color DMD, please let me know. I need a Stern SAM/Whitestar cable kit. It's $19 USD, but when added to cart, after shipping, it is $54 USD. So, if I could piggy back on someone else's order, that would be fantastic. Thanks in advance!
Holy shit........35 US to mail a cable?? You should send an e-mail to Mike at Color DMD. He's a good guy to deal with.
Yup, cancel that request. Just got an email back from them, shipping will be less than $10.
Thumbs up to the guys at Color DMD!
they are easy to make..

Yes sir it is, gorgeous machine for sure!! Thx for the bump.
Just a heads up, I needed to order some parts and decided to try Titan Pinball. Prices were great, shipping cost was great and it got here 5 days later. Im happy with the Leds and rubbers too. Also ordered from Marco, had too, 3 weeks, still waiting and cost $45 shipping.

Yeah Titan is amazing! I used their competition silicone rubbers in my TWD and LOTR and they feel just like real white rubbers! I highly reccomend Titans competition rubbers!
Quoted from OnTilt:Wondering if the Albertans on here could suggest a freight company to ship pinballs/arcades east (Winnipeg).
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Deal in good faith with Scott, have his POTC and now that it is set up, very happy, exactly as he advertised/described to me. Great condition, saw the 13 while picking up Pirates, and its in very good shape.

If anyone is interested in a very nice HUO CV let me know and my friend is thinking of selling for $8k. He is also same person I mentioned a few days ago with the TOTAN for $7k. It is still available and had a few offers presented to him but nothing is solid yet. Send me a PM and I can put you in touch for either machine.
