Quoted from nightsearcher:Does anyone know the people selling the Fishtales and High Speed 2 or know about the conditions of these pins on Alberta kijiji
That fishtales looks sweet & shit ton of work done! &&& that street fighter 2 is pretty damn nice too! I said it was way too pricey before but people can ask whatever they want!! Who the heck am I to say anywiss! I'm on kijiji every day looking for a pin off the wishlist & as long as I think it's a fair price ...road trip!
Looking to buy a pin under $4000 & within an 8hr drive of Regina. (Van is ready!) Would also trade my Road Show + cash for a Metallica pro. RS plays fine but needs a full shopping. Right side G.I. is out. I have the cliffys package with 2 roll over protectors as well but not installed. PM if you are interested. Cheers
Quoted from Pinhead306:What is Luci?
I thought it might of been his ol' lady!
Quoted from Dee-Bow:I thought it might of been his ol' lady!
Ba dum dum! Jus'kidding! Playing the sheeet out of RS before she goes! Such a good game.. gonna miss Red for sure and hope to see her again! But ohhhhbaby the new one sure is Purdy! Can't wait

Quoted from extraballingtmc:I wouldn't buy a woz for half that.
I would !
Quoted from TBatti:Is that from anyone on pinside?
I dunno but it's a fukkin beauty!
Quoted from Linkage:I have two System 1 projects for sale with a bunch of parts.
Totem 1979 - Gottlieb System 1
This machine has a beautiful new restenciled paint job. Done with automotive paints and a professional clear. You will not find a nicer looking machine. Backglass looks amazing and the playfield is great.
Also comes with a second cabinet with a populated playfield for parts.
This was working perfectly within the past two years with a Pascal all in board, but the connectors do need to be repinned. The connection was iffy sometimes. I pulled the board to use in another project, so this is sold without boards. I paid $1500 for this machine when I picked it up. It's just that nice.
Joker Poker 1978 - Highly saught after game in horrible condition. Ideally needs a complete restore. Head is rough physically so I'll include an extra head (Charlie's Angels) if you restore and do a repaint / stencil. Playfield is rough as well and backglass has an extreme amount of flaking. It's a major, mojor project and also needs boards.
Parts:
1979 Solar Ride Populated Playfield - Another System 1, should present a lot of good spare parts.
Boards. While the machines are being sold without boards, I think I do have some around. I will look for them and include them if possible. This include displays as well.
Will only include one set of legs unless I can scrounge a second.
Everything is in storage, so if you have serious interest I will grab some pictures. $1500 Shipping from Newfoundland included.

Quoted from extraballingtmc:Not sure how you ended up spending $13,800.
On what?
Quoted from extraballingtmc:Anyone got a robot or locomotion?
Yup.. and you'll see me bust em both out on the dance floor at the yegpin vip party ! 
Quoted from dirkdiggler:Brought thru Alberta borders. 5% tax 1st time. No tax the second time. $100 charge on $2000 us stern nascar. Purchased off ebay.
What condition was Nascar in?! Seems like a good deal! Especially if you got it off fleabay! (Thinking about buying one)
Quoted from northerndude:Ohh, I was down in Regina for a course and hit up Rebellion and played that GB, had a great evening beer/pinball
Quoted from extraballingtmc:website says 9295cdn for pro and 8700 usd for le. Are these the real prices or what they are told to post as msrp?
I contacted the good man tommy at nitro today ...
Alien SE w/27” Monitor (7k USD) $9295 CDN + $295 Shipping (Regina Depot) + tax = $10,549 CDN
Alien LE w/27” Monitor ($8700 USD) $11,595 CDN + $295 Shipping (Regina Depot) + tax = $13,079 CDN
Quoted from violinfather:Also wondering what a fair price would be on a GB pro that has been routed?
What would you pay and be comfortable with? That's how much it's worth to you. People give opinions on prices and you question their resources. Just offer a number where you won't have buyer's remorse. If he says yes, you own a GB !
There is a pinsider in North Dakota with a bunch of sweet pins for sale if anyone can afford the dollar exchange!! He just listed his TZ & TaF.. also has a G'n'r, champions pub, new sterns, and bunch of others.. good guy too, I just can't afford to bring any back over the border! Damn U Canadian loonie

Quoted from Linkage:I have a Demo Man for sale. 4k, Slightly overpriced, but I hate shipping and the work. Will not ship until April 24th due to work schedule, maybe April 14th if the stars align. I need to take more / better pics. Works perfectly. Had an issue recently with random resetting. Was probably just a loose cable,
I can read. I can also NOW mention the part where you held my $500 deposit for OVER a month without sending me NOTHING. Responding days later to my emails. No pic's as requested..definitely no pallet was ever shipped. Ralph, I kept this in private messages til now. But if you want me to copy and paste our conversation so everyone can read..I don't mind! I finally got fed up with your BS & waiting, & I requested my deposit back..also, the game was NOT as you described. The photos you did send showed playfield wear in more than one spot, home job paint touch ups and you never did send photos of what you claimed to be selling. Like you said to me, this community is too small to be ripping people off!
Basically...here's some shady photos of what the game won't look like.. pay me now..I will eventually get around to packing and shipping the pallet (when ralph feels like it) then we receive a package that is NOT as described and it is NOT worth sending back because you live in the sticks. Sounds like a good deal to me
Yes, I politely asked (again) and still no response! You just attacked my literacy and I felt I had to share my story. Ralph, it's still not a good idea try and take someone's money for something you have no intentions of shipping for a few weeks/month! I emailed you a couple times every week waiting for pics.. over a month later... you sent the original pics again! C'mon man!
Went and checked out the FT on kijiji in Regina. Playfield shows some wear and not in very good condition as stated. Planking issues, broken plastics, right orbit and pop bumper damage, Nice guy tho and was great to talk with him. Game played good, just the pf issues held me back. Locked 3 balls like a boss! & had a good multiball! So that was good! Haha

So
Hobbit Smaug SE 10k
Avengers Hulk LE 7k
Fire Escape 1.6k
I cant find fire escape on the list of games?!? No search results found
Quoted from libtech:Its not a pin, but a skill game like ICB, very rare, which is why no one has heard of it but awesome! It will be on free play at yegpin:

Quoted from roar:I've been gathering parts for a Silverball Mania restore for over a year now and other projects keep cutting in line and taking my time away. Another project has come up that needs some more funds so I'm looking to get out of it what I have into it.
$2,250 CDN for everything below
The Good:
Working Silverball Mania
CPR Reproduction Playfield
CPR Reproduction Plastics
New Horseshoe metal guide by vid1900
Reproduction Pop Bumper Caps and skirts
Reproduction Dead Bumper Caps and skirts
Reproduction Apron by brenna98
Reproduction Bally Sticker for coin door
New spinner stickers
Bally Conversion LED Display Kit by acebathound
Original Manual and Schematics
Backglass in great shape
The Bad:
The current playfield is "missing some paint"
CPR Reproduction Playfield - On one of the rollover inserts for the horseshoe one of the tabs is broken off on the underside, something will potentially need to be fabricated to properly hold the white star rollover piece to hold it in place
Needs new rubbers
Needs new flipper bats
Needs one new star post for the Horseshoe area, they are currently mismatched
I've converted 2 of the 5 displays to the Blue LED's but the other 3 need converting and one of the ones I've worked on needs some more work, was working on that over a year ago now when I switched to another project.
Lots of pictures over on pinballrev.

Quoted from jesperpark:No, but i bet if you buy his Porsche he has for sale in his other listings, he will throw the tz in for free. If you buy the Lexus he may only give you a good price on the playfield
Quoted from nightsearcher:Maybe he is selling the cars to fund a few new pins
Quoted from Meegis:You guys realize the porsche is at a dealer and he also has a lexus for sale.
You always gotta check their other adds !! Helps determine if the add is legit! Kijiji 101. That dude made the rookie mistake of giving his actual address... Probably a gated community anyways! Who needs 2 Porsches and a Lexus?!!

Quoted from Holden4:Looking to get into the hobby on a cheaper DmD or a decent SS fun themed pin.
Great forum and info here. GTA; might make a road trip down to the states eventually.
Find other pinsiders within driving distance & check out their collections... If you see a game you want (& can afford) send a PM and ask if they'd ever consider selling it! Don't expect to pick it up for way less than market value since its not even for sale! But ya never know..pinsider prices are usually better than kijiji / craigs list. Worst they could say is no! But u still get to shoot the shit about pinball!

Quoted from Pauz21:So strange post... I recently picked up a pinball machine and asked a "non-pinball" friend to come along for the journey and exploit him for his labour LOL. Well... it seems he was quite taken when given a chance to see some games in Rob's great collection. He's now thinking that "maybe I could get just one."
He's given me a budget which is reasonable I think. He's wanting a newer game to avoid the headaches of repairs on an older game. But is struggling with finding a theme that interests him. He is a star trek and star wars fan, more trek... but isn't sure he wants to totally fan boy his place out with a machine with those themes. I wouldn't totally rule it out.
Looking for anything Sask/Ab that would be a good option for someone in that $4-$6K range. Preferably a newer game but if it it's a well restored strong title in that late 90's early 2000's era I could probably twist his arm.
What's available out there?
I'd actually thought Sandeep's Junkyard might be a fun first pin for him too but alas that ship has sailed.

Quoted from ryalter:It is HUO according to the person I bought it from, they said they bought it for their kids back in the day.
looks like there is playfield wear near the right flipper. Do Gottlieb's have an audit for how many games played? What about coins received? That would be a better indicator than a jeep with nitrous! Just sayin!
Also should mention that I think HUO is a term to describe just how nice the cabinet and playfield are and also suggests low number of plays.. but at almost 40 years old that game is definitely in nice condition. HUO or not! I don't think those warranty cards and other paper work really add that much value to the price of the pin. They do help suggest its hou tho I guess!
Quoted from paul_8788:It was funny though. At least I thought so. My sense of humor can be off. Or you might not have one. Not sure which is which.

Quoted from KnockerPTSD:What you put into a game does not reflect what you will get back. Less than 5k should get you an extremely nice party monsters. There is $300 of powder coating. If you buy a good machine, you dont need all that other crap. I expect the higher price tag. Maybe 1k over average. He wants double average pricing.
I put 3k of mods into my Metallica, are you saying I should expect to get 11k for it? Hes just a greedy flipper. Dont defend him lol
Why would you put $3000 of crap.. i mean mods into your MET?! its already a good machine. How much were you asking for a translite with that other crap scribbled on it? We can all figure out if we want or can afford a pin without you constantly reminding us what YOU think its worth. I have seen that Elvira as well.. its a beauty with much more than $300 in powdercoat. Who cares if he flips pins.. You've been here for a year, how did the community ever survive before that?!
Quoted from extraballingtmc:Not against anyone but big pet peeve of mine is fs ads where seller states they don’t want to sell the game. I get that it might be a strategy or maybe life has forced you to sell but still...

Your Dredd is nice and worth every penny, someone is gonna walk away from that deal super happy!
Yup, i just checked my messages... i asked you in Dec. 2016 if you would sell me your JD!! Haha, over 3 years i been asking!

I haven't registered anything yet.. but i have a sweet ass Totem and your old MET I'd be willing to bring!! Last year my PZ didn't even come back home with me! Haha, I'll be looking for Fytr's Lounge again.. coldest beverages in town!
Quoted from Fytr:Wow, you still have that MET?! I've bought and sold a couple of them since then. She's like the girlfriend I can't quit.
I'll be sure to remember the Pil and the Wildcat, I know you SK boys love that stuff!
I wouldn't drink that piss no matter how cold it was! MET is in Pile o Bones brewery! Beer game strong! In fact, one of the owner's of p.o.b. and his wife are coming to yegpin & are both pinheads!! Stop by the van! Haha!!

Quoted from Psw757:Not sure where you came up with that idea. I’m asking for someone to help transport a pin for me like I have done in the past and whatever it costs it costs. Pretty simple if you ask me.
The pin I’m looking to get isn’t all the expensive anyhow. Pinside values it at like $2000US.

Quoted from pinballjah:What precautions are you taking with the current Corona virus situation when picking up a game in person or selling a game? I have a few games pending pick up and was curious if others are taking precautions when doing the transaction. Are you still taking physical cash? I usually like to have people come in and try other games in my collection and talk about the hobby. But that is tough in today's environment. I have one buyer who prefers I fold and wrap up the game, so when they show up, they just have to move it to their car and we can keep our distance. Be interested to know how everyone is still making trades in person. Thanks.
I picked up an old EM the other day where the guy carried it outside his walkout basement before I showed up. I put the cash on his picnic table and he walked over grabbed it and went inside. I broke down the game and loaded it up. Never shook hands or stood within 6ft of each other. Very strange!
Quoted from gblgbl:Red Flags went up for me and I walked away! Safe to say his R&B doesn’t play 100% like his ad states. Oh well onto the next deal.
Or at some point you gotta stop dealing with the tire kickers. After how many pics does it become enough? You're prob not the only buyer (place a kijiji add and discover yourself) who has these specific requests of extra pics and vids. If you're worried about a switch not registering or some other issue then don't ship pins. Maybe you could also ask some local pinhead to go check it out for ya.i don't think a gameplay vid is going to disclose any major issues someone is hiding. Shipping is already a p.i.t.a. to some people and it became not worth it to keep trying to sell you his pin(my guess anywisss )

Quoted from pinballjah:I know a lot of people that would pay a couple hundo finders fee for an IM, Kiss or Elvira. It was only an idea to keep him busy. It takes a lot of effort to track down a game of choice.
How could a 15 year old kid have better resources than us who are active in the community.. constantly on here and other sites(kijiji,Craigslist,etc) & we're communicating with other pinheads across the country and literally the rest of the world? No one is going to deal with a child over a ten thousand dollar purchase. I'd suggest a small engine repair business or even a newspaper route over your idea.
Quoted from pinballjah:How would he find the games, I would teach him my secrets
Quoted from pinballjah:Pay in USD so you control the rate of exchange. This is what I do with Player One in Toronto.
And again, we already know! 
Quoted from Meegis:I don't want to start anything, and I if I come across rude, I apologize.
I just think that telling people you can find games in a thread specifically designed for it but then pushing it as a business idea and having to pay your son is just off-putting.
You're definitely not rude. In my few years on here I can't count how many times you've helped or offered to help people on here get pins shipped, parts located, or just general advice.(and never asked for a percentage cut.) Good luck on your kids' endeavor P-Jah, and happy Victoria day canucks!

Quoted from KnockerPTSD:Oh to be clear. It didnt bother me but i was unaware of that option thanks. I was just pointing out how negative these guys often are. Its borderline funny.
I WAS discussing a recent sale that happened last night to be fair
Moving on. Whos got that Blackout?
It's not to be negative. It's the most polite way to tell you I think you're an idiot! You've wished people's children catch covid, ratt people out,(instead of just PM'ing him) and just your general attitude towards other people's contradicting opinions of yours. I thought the thumbs down simply signified I didn't agree with your post. Also, please don't message me again telling me how horrible the other pinsiders are! Back to finding you a Blackout

Quoted from Saltimbanco:This is great! A nicely priced game that will be enjoyed by a bunch of pinheads, congrats to both of you!
Tron is a fun, fun game, pretty sure you'll do more enjoying than cursing!
You will have to come to a Yegpin event to truly appreciate how evil they set up the games in Edmonton! Tournament row is a nightmare! (In a goood way) Hence the cursing!
Quoted from Meegis:You can't prove I'm not.
Ask me for ID, I won't have one I'm a kid.
Hahahahaha
I'm just messing around
So, we'll see you in July?!
Quoted from KnockerPTSD:Ill take these 7,800 nib games you speak of. Stern pros are 9k after taxes.
Our dollar was significantly better when they bought them. Just like Metallica used to be $6500 n.i.b.
Quoted from Boat:Just to provide AB context, my friend recently got a spike 2 pro for 8400 all in.
Factor in the higher prices on AIQ, foreign exchange at the time of purchase, and Pst you can easily be over 9k.
Ya... but does that include free uninstalled art blades? Didn't think so! (Im just messing around!) Hey, ask whatever you like.. I was just wondering why the last few used JP's were so much $$!
Quoted from KnockerPTSD:Even when the dollar was better $8,500 minimum for a JP pro. A pro hasn't been $6,500 in about 7yrs. I bought a Metallica in 2017 and it was still $8,500. It just sounds like you havent had to deal with a distributor in a while.
Also, buy that Maiden. Its only the best Stern ever imo.
I know of two JP pros that were $7800 new.. all good tho dude! My MET pro was $7029.75 on 2016-05-19 (thanks again Fytr!) I know I'd get more than $7k for it. (but its bolted down.) Back to selling pins! Someone want a really nice Totem? $1800
Quoted from Hobbypinball:i'm grumpy today - can we avoid another debate on pricing?!?!?!?! pretty please?!?!?!?
Sure, What are ya selling

Quoted from extraballingtmc:Edit: just went to their website and a stern pro shipped in bc is 7161usd so over 9k even if you somehow don’t pay the bank exchange fee. Anyone says otherwise probably never bought nib lol
Where do you see the shipping prices on their website? I couldn't find it. I just emailed for the price.. And how much is a bank exchange fee?(serious questions!) *btw, shipping cost is the same as yours would be to ship (Again, all good! glws's y'all!)

Weirdest transaction i have encountered yet
Well, what game you selling?! (Damn your private collection!) I think i seen you list Transformers LE on marketplace (beauty btw!)
Quoted from GrndShkr:Well now it makes sense on why the guy still hasn’t sold it.
Since you brought up you can tell that it was heavily routed. Curious on what everyone looks at on the pin that would give this away? I have my suspicions on what I would look for but curious to hear others thoughts on this.
You can check the audits for the coin mech switches & total plays.. holes drilled thru the coin door for a padlock is also an easy tell!

Quoted from Hammerhead:That's like killing a fly with a sledgehammer. You run the risk of doing more harm than good over some bubbling on the outside of the game. Then, once you do repair it, there will be all kinds of nitpicking about why you repaired it in the first place, it's not original, etc.
I'll have to update the ad with photos of the undamaged interior.
What did happen to it?! How did nothing else get any water damage?
Quoted from MrMikeman:Dayuuuuuuum. That’s so 3-4 years ago!
3 years ago i would of said $3500
Quoted from Pauz21:Times like these I don’t know whether I should just hold on to everything or sell the lot. Lol
This hobby has gone silly.
Sell it all now and buy it back in a few years when or if this shit settles down!
Quoted from JustAnotherYoyo:I would use a "price check" to offer a machine for a fair price, specifically to avoid gouging someone.
You don't need a price check for your pins.. just look st the receipts! Wowzers! Nice pins

Can anyone vouch for this Corey dude? Anyone know if he's on pinside?
I believe I've read that Luch can be bribed to help pick up, pack and ship a pin! let's get this deal done boys
Quoted from WW2GURU:Who did I sell my Houdini to? Wanna sell it back to me?
One for sale on regina kijiji!
Quoted from Rob_G:You should at least add the tag 'pinball' to your(?) ad if you have not done so already. I couldn't find it just searching 'pinball'. I did find it searching 'Houdini'.
Here's the ad: https://www.kijiji.ca/v-general-electronics/regina/houdini-pinball-for-trade/1600575800
Rob
Quoted from dirkdiggler:I found it under pinball search. Near the bottom of the page.
Not my Houdini. But i found it under 'pinball' search as well (it's pinhead306's pin btw) someone should offer a TNA or Oktoberfest trade on it tho please! & i hope he accepts said trade offer
Quoted from koji:Huge shout out to ImNotNorm and transprtr4u for packing up and shipping my Tales from the crypt so well.
I picked up the machine today, packed nicely on a extra large pallet. Not a scratch on the wrapping, so a +1 for Day and Ross I guess as well
This one was loaded with all sorts of goodies and extras that were above and beyond. The game is a dream game for me, so I'm super stoked to dig into it.. but you know you are half-way there when it travels through the rockies in stormy winter conditions, and you can set it up and power it on with no issues on arrival
Anyway.. big thanks... and assurances to anyone looking to make a deal with these folks!

Quoted from Pin_Fandango:now we are getting opinions from across the country and from celebrities in the hobby!
This game has never been evaluated so thoroughly ever before.
Not sure what your game is worth? #askus
What do you guys think Met Pro and Prem is going for these days? I might be looking at adding either, but have not played the game enough to really know if it is worth the PREM upgrade.
There is another thread to talk to Canadian pinheads in. This one is for for selling pins in canada. You should check it out.

Quoted from Birdnest:It would be fun to have a flowchart of all the games Dan has bought and sold - sometimes i think he buys the same game back before the owner even gets its home
Or there's a possibility that he sometimes facilitates deals for friends of his that don't want to deal with the hassle of kijiji and marketplace people. Never mind the scammers out there! But your theory sounds good too! Maybe pinside can make you guys a badge for people who bought a pin from Dan! hey wait, i too would have said badge!

Quoted from Miranda:As an even greener newbie, the biggest hurdle for me in my neck of the woods is any project that appears with a price 30 cents lower than market value is immediately scooped up and "shopped" with LEDs and mods and put up for sale again at an inflated price. Makes it impossible to get a deal on something that I could put my own sweat equity into, or a deal on anything really.
I did manage to get a machine in my price range a month ago though, coincidentally also a Lethal Weapon 3 lol. Moving soon so it's been stashed away but really looking forward to finally setting it up
Not just people from your area scooping them up. Post an add on kijiji and you will learn that people from the west to east coast and even some Americans will message you if priced accordingly! So get used to it..or get faster at responding. Could also try a "wanted" add.
Quoted from transprtr4u:how the hell did you get a CCR?
He had to run thru the jungle that was down at the bayou, then took the Green River Up around the bend where they were for sale Down on the corner.. the one with Susie Q smoking some Proud Mary... (yes i just had an afternoon puff!)

Quoted from aeonblack:Nobody ever has, but supply and demand. And no matter what people say, there's a reason why Godzilla dethroned MM and it hasn't regained that position. That will always fetch a price.
I thought the reason is all the noobs who bought GZ rated it as high as possible so they can tell everyone they own the #1 rated pin. Wait for Scooby to come out, it will be up there in less than 6 months as well. I truly question if the majority of the voters have even played MM.
Quoted from EvanDickson:I was today years old when I learned we can report / complain about other peoples' ratings. What a weird feature.
The only person's ratings/review I read is Caucasian 2-step. His are non biased & he has rated almost every game.

Quoted from Fytr:Let's see, overall prices have increased approx. 30% in the last 2 years alone, there are now a modern era record of 5 or 6 new NIB games just released, all with their own appeal to different folks, vs 1 or more likely zero in the past few years, tech workers (TECH WORKERS!) are being laid off by the 10's of thousands, and interest rates are higher than they've been in over a decade.
So yeah. People are poorer or certainly feeling poorer, pins are outrageously priced, and there is more choice in appealing new games than in recent memory. All that will both shrink the potential buyer pool, and spread it more thinly around.
You want to move your pin? Lower your price! That's competition, baby.
Are you suggesting the days of me picking up an almost new in box Metallica for $6500 off of you are over?!
(Which still plays great btw)
