Quoted from BitPirate:Hello All,
I have a nice whitewater for sale:

Let me know if you have any questions.
Man that's nice looking. What's the waterfall mod?
Quoted from flashinstinct:Gerry has a few for sale from his container order.
Link? I would be interested to see what he has available.
Quoted from YKpinballer:Selling my CFTBL for the right price, asking 4,500 plus shipping. Have replaced basically everything on the playfield and new rubbers etc. has some wear to the playfield but plays great. All new ramps.

I would love to have this. Grail pin. I've never shipped a pin. What's it cost to go from west to east? I'm in Ottawa.
Quoted from YKpinballer:Forgot to mention, I have installed a new NVRam chip, so no batteries required anymore, new Triac board also. Have the parts for a complete flipper rebuild, but the flippers work so good I haven't done the switch. Complete set of new plastics just installed. All in all, great player's machine. If one popped up on the market a playfield swap down the line and mike's hologram mod would make it like new.
PM sent.
Quoted from Tkaye:Go fiftyquid Go!
LOL. Thanks!
Quoted from Meegis:Fiftyquid, if you need any help with shipping, I can maybe lend a hand. I am in Toronto, so not that close, but if you do come in to the city any time, I am happy to help.
Have a good rep here and PBRev.
Was just out at QuarterGrabbers last weekend actually.
Thank you meegis. I'll see what happens.
I turn everything off and unplug everything. Mine are from the 80's and up though and I'm a bit OCD like that. When I was a kid I had a lightning storm take out a television, while I was watching it, and that memory has never left me.
Quoted from QuarterGrabber:I'm not into CFTBL but is it me or is this a really good price for one?
http://www.kijiji.ca/v-oeuvre-d-art/saguenay/machine-a-boule-pinball-arcade-cftbl/1085329262?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true
I've been following CFTBL for almost two years now. It seems to hover around $4K. This one looks in pretty decent condition. I'd say it's a good price.
Quoted from movingpictures:Yup, that's the one.
If the new owner wants to flip it on eBay, more power to him.
I'm not interested in dealing with that mess
It's still a dick move. He even cut n' pasted the info from your post into the eBay listing.
Quoted from movingpictures:I don't really see it that way.
We agreed on a price that we were both comfortable with and he bought the game.
Whatever he does with it after is his business, I couldn't care less.
If he can flip it on eBay, good for him.
Fair enough. I'm just disappointed with the fact that it went up on eBay afterwards. eBay just sickens me.
Back on topic in 3, 2, 1...
Quoted from EvanDickson:Probably playdium / starburst. I can't verify that from my phone, though.
Yes, they sell them. When I was in Toronto they had one in their showroom.
Quoted from TBatti:Thanks Al my thoughts on PBL is that they are crooks with shipping. Just on principle I have a hard time wanting to buy their product as they rape me with overpriced shipping. Maybe if I can get a bulk order with other members I will get these.
I always preferred PBL to Marco. I dread hitting that "outside the US" shipping button.
Quoted from cdnpinballer:Firepower is no longer for sale.
Congrats. It looked great.
Quoted from monty-:looking for a Gottlieb Volley in nice shape - no projects or basket cases.
can deal in Ottawa/Toronto/Montreal areas. let me know if you're willing to part with yours!
You got the EM bug bad.
Quoted from monty-:lol. i also have the WH20 bug but i can justify this purchase a little easier!
Ha! Pop by any time! Shoot me a PM.
Quoted from QuarterGrabber:What about that guy in Ontario that builds cabs from scratch? Drano has bought a few cabs from him and can give you the details.
I think you mean RWElphinstone. His website is http://www.gameroomdesigns.ca
The backglass art on Lectronomo is gorgeous. The PF not so much, but then again I can't really see details in the photo. Either way, all of these look great! GLWS!
Quoted from CoinTaker:Cointaker is NOT permitted to ship games into Canada and cannot ship games to the border.
If you are from Canada, you MUST purchase your games from the Canadian Distributor.
This is per Stern's policy. Also, we have NEVER advertised a price of $4995.00. Our price is $5495.00.
Not that I'm interested in buying, but I'm curious... you won't ship to a US address located near the border?
Quoted from Murphelman:It's safe for now =)
If you need space I'll store it at my place for you. I can provide the van. Serious.
Quoted from RandomTask:Hey! is there another Pinsider in Fredericton? I'd love to message them and catch up for a pint! Its a pretty baron city for pins!
I thought there was a bunch over in Riverside?
RandomTask You need to join the Fundy Flippers Pinball League.

Quoted from northerndude:Just go to literally ANY place that takes deliveries, they will give them away.
Yep. We have a guy that comes to pick them up weekly. He can't keep up. Unfortunately, the rest end up at the dump.
Quoted from Comox-Rocks:Anyone know the admin at pinball revolution?
Requested password reset etc and nothing happened,even emailed admin....
He'll get back to you. He doesn't monitor 24/7. I had the same thing happen. Took a couple days to get a response.
Quoted from northerndude:In some other crazy news, I got a mod shipment from US with frickin’ UPS this week. And it’s the first time in years, years, that I didn’t get a brokerage fee or fuck all. I couldn’t believe it.
I would have saved probably almost a couple G’s CAD on my NIB pin I bought in spring with this dollar exchange
Wow, that is shocking. UPS brokerage fees are nothing but bullshit. They must have just forgot or someone pushed the wrong button on their computer. I'm sure you'll get a bill a couple years down the road.
Quoted from Smack:How much are UPS brokerage fees usually? I recently ordered from Pinball Life via FedEx and the fee was $10 for brokerage which I didn't think was too bad.
Perhaps this is best case scenario?
UPS brokerage fees are some of the highest in the industry. I paid $80 on a used $300 iPod. That was nearly 20 years ago. Yes, I'm still bitter about it.
Quoted from Smack:That seems insane...
You could've stopped right there. It was insane. I've avoided UPS ever since. I'm actually in Logistics now so they can stick it up their arses.
Quoted from cait001:putting up a trade stim https://www.maaca.org/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=26915
Wow. That thing is gorgeous!
Quoted from luch:Putting my 1981 Williams Barracora up for sale , not mint , but better then players condition , back glass has some art missing from a couple score windows area , but all has been sealed , $3950 Can. pm email for pictures .
This looks pretty nice. Never played one myself. GLWTS.
Quoted from Berserk:Seeing this as an adult, I can say those aren't turtles but rather something NSFW
LOL. I can't unsee it.
I haven't thought of this commercial in years. Thanks @luch.
Just realized I never posted this here. Selling my Gottlieb Surfer. This was my first EM and it was a complete mess when I bought it. If you are looking for an solid, reliable, working EM, keep on reading...
*Asking $1200 obo*
Pros:
Fully functional game. Set up for free play. I won't say working 100% because I just noticed the TILT light is not coming on. Socket needs to be hard soldered or replaced. Is 99% working fair?
Cons:
Cosmetics/Aesthetics are rough
Backbox has some damage.
Backglass has some peeling. Sealed by previous owner.
Front and one side of the pin was painted white.
Some rust on mechanicals, but does not affect gameplay.

Thank you for your consideration.
Quoted from PinPickle:100% incorrect.
PinPickle is definitely right about this. The border having a list of all pins is not feasible. They would have to have a full list of everything that ever existed. Just imagine the logistics. The border would need a massive database to store all this information and have a search more capable than Google. Plus it's government, so the concept is laughable.
Damn! I saw 75+ posts in a day and thought I had missed out on someone cleaning house of all their pins before the divorce lawyers swooped in.
Quoted from Paseb:what does shallow means?
It does not have a very deep ruleset. If you want more modes, deeper code, then go with TSPP. This is coming from someone that owns CFTBL.
Quoted from Paseb:im not a deep pinball player. I started buying last year.
I play with my girlfriend from time to time and i want to have friends/familly arround to play. (which we currently can't in Quebec due to Covid)
i like my current line but i cant tell if its deep rules or not as im a pinball noobie.
also, i like 90s game, i just dont like the new pinball with big screen. so keep that in mind.
It sounds like Creech would be right up your alley then. It has broad appeal and it's easy to understand and dive right into.
Titan just stopped using DHL and is switching back to USPS for international. I didn't think DHL was that bad. I didn't pay and brokerage/duty on shipments from them.
Quoted from Pauz21:I am really glad to see titan changed shippers. I know I’ve had lots of people say their bulbs aren’t as good as comets but I’ve always found them to be really great to deal with and good prices. I like their silicone bands also. Especially for flippers.
Titan said they were getting hosed royally by DHL on every single shipment. I don't blame them for switching, but I didn't have any issues with DHL... UPS on the other hand can kiss my ass.
Final price drop on my Gottlieb Surfer. $1000 firm. I'd rather set it on fire than go lower. Willing to ship at buyers expense.

Quoted from guard:(And I have used the "I'd burn it first" line)
I didn't realize this line was so popular. I use it all the time with Kijiji buyers lowballing me. Mine is a variation, "I'll set it on fire before I sell it to you".
It never gets old. Ha!
Quoted from pingod:Works for me.
Check that, works on my phone.
Not on my laptop
Still down here. Using Chrome. Windows laptop.
Quoted from Saltimbanco:Just wanted to say Merry Christmas, you peasants!
Stay safe, and do come back to sell those great games!
Back at you buddy. Here's hoping Santa brings me a MET Pro!
Quoted from extraballingtmc:Anyone vouch for Robert Gagnon?
Yes, I can vouch as well. Great guy. Bought my WH2O from him. He even loaned me a couple pins over the summer just because he was out of space. A Creech before I bought my own and a new Stern Spider-Man.
Quoted from dirkdiggler:We looked at one a couple years ago where the "2nd" bedroom in the back had a couple of bunk beds. Wife commented that it would fit 2 pinball machines if we remove the beds.
Keep her.
Envious.
Quoted from Paseb:i could of purchase an average 7.5/8 shadow for 5800$ with color dmd couple months ago.
i played it and wasnt empressed with it.
I've never seen a pin rated out of 8 before. I'm definitely going to start using this.
P.S. - impressed (I couldn't resist)
Quoted from rwmech5:Have a fella here looking for a Metallica, preferably within 6 hours.
If he can find a Metallica in under 6 hours then all the power to him. Most end up looking for weeks!
Quoted from FlipperFreak:Nitro Pinball is extremely proud to announce its arrival in Quebec to serve pinheads in Eastern Canada. Sales and support will be handled by long-time pinball collector and enthusiast Phillipe Larouche. We are delighted to welcome Phil to the Nitro family, and we are excited to now be able to bring our passion across Canada with some of the most impressive new titles from Stern, JJP, American, Spooky, Dutch, Haggis, CGC and Barrels of Fun!
We'll be hosting contests and drawing prizes among our pinball community later this month. Stay tuned……
Congrats! This is excellent news!
