Quoted from flashinstinct:I'd buy a game from anyone as long as the game falls in my "acceptable" range. I've bought games from Quebec, Ontario, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, New York and Virginia. This provincial debate non sense needs to stop.
I agree, go bitch somewhere else.

Quoted from dirkdiggler:So for kicks I replied to the Addams Family in Regina. I received a kijiji message back. In one message I got 3 names. Lol.
The kijiji name at the top of the response was different from the name he wanted me to email and then signed it sincerely with another name.
Does anyone know how many red flags it takes for kijiji to remove a ad?
I also responded to this listing, here was his response:
Thanks for your interest in this Addams Family Gold Pinball Machine (Bally, 1994)..
Can you please provide me with your email address or email me directly at [email protected]
For more information and pictures of this Pinball Machine. You can drop me a text at (778) 401-2354.
Thanks and await your response.

Hey guys, there's a Walking Dead on Kijiji in Edmonton I am interested in, any chance someone from Edmonton would check it out for me before I make the drive up?
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Saw the ad this morning. Looks fishy to me....
Yeah, I will report back if I speak with the seller over the phone, and decide if it's legit.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Just saw a Medieval Madness remake on kijiji 4 sale in lethbridge.
Ad only has one pic tho...hes asking 10k. Just fyi
If it turns out that this is a legit seller I can go check it out for fellow pinsiders.

I am thinking about selling my TH. I have added side art from Pingraffix, lockdown bar ring button kit ,and Cliffy's. Otherwise the game is in like new condition lightly played and well taken care of. There isn't a ding or dent anywhere to be found. Recently I had a small issues with Smaug's head not registering his end points, but JJP took care of me and the issue is resolved, works perfect now!
I am the second owner, a local pinhead owned it before me for a couple months before I bought it from him in April of 2017. The build date is Nov. 2016.
Looking to get $9000 I am firm on the price.
Any other questions please PM me.
We are all sitting on our pins, everyones collections are growing and no one is selling. It seems everyone has turned into a collector. If we are all buying more then we are selling it is no wonder not much is popping up, and what does is way overpriced in my opinion. I will likely be buying NIB instead of over paying for 20 year old pins.
I am still looking to sell The Hobbit, but I am also open to trades. My preferences would be for a 90's pin, NGG, Fish Tales, WCS, Junk Yard, WH20, Whirlwind, TSPP, RBION, RCT, or a WOZ. Really I would entertain any pin if it is in good playing condition +/- cash of course.
Picture the nicest Hobbit you have seen and then think of one that is set up perfect, HUO, freshly cleaned pf wiped down and waxed (with Blitz), Tilt graphic Game Blades, etched ring plague, Modfather shooter rod, Titan silicone rubbers, meticulously cared for. Nov 2017 build, 900 plays, mostly my 7 year old son.

Added over 6 years ago: I meant 2016 build.
Quoted from Spencer:Seller was super nice but just ask the questions guys. This confirms to me, I will never buy a game I cant see myself.
Yes I spoke with him as well, what red flags came up for you?

I also emailed him on Wednesday and haven't heard back. I'm going to Regina next weekend so I thought it would work out but I guess not.
Ok, I tried contacting him a couple times now and haven't heard back. He first placed this ad a week and a half ago and now today, just seems odd that if it is still for sale why he wouldn't have tried emailing me back? First time he listed the ad he had a price and now just please contact. Flags are being raised. Never a good sign in my experience.

They are having an auction because the restaurant beside them burned down, and Wonderland took extensive smoke damage. My Dad lives in Regina and he is going to check out the machines to see if there is a smoky smell. I played that 2001 Playboy about a year ago, I wouldn't pay more then $3000 for the shape it was in.

I think DI plays best in a home environment because setting the game up right is key. On location it never seems set up as good as mine, or maybe I am just being to picky.

Quoted from paul_8788:Seriously though, how does one find the 7-8k CDn HUO Beatles? Is that a hard data number or a “how much I would pay for one” number?
I don’t see any history of sales like that here or on pinrev. I see evidence of some selling around 6k USD on market history on here (Pinside est value is 6300), which is more than 8400 after posted exchange (add another couple percentage points for bank fees) and doesn’t include any shipping or tax.
I felt like I got a decent deal on the one I just bought given the research I did at the time, but now I figure I missed something or there is a secret society pinball market I am not privy to.
Buying/selling a pinball machine is starting to feel like buying/selling a car. All bullshit and manipulation and zero amount of fun
At least you have the benefit of living in Calgary, I wish I lived there I would be trading games a lot more often.
I am also looking for a secret society of local Lethbridge collectors who want to trade New titles locally. Please PM me if you are interested.
Quoted from Rob_G:ACDC and DILE have a new home. Elvira LE on the way!

You are going to love Elvira!

Quoted from wcbrandes:I Believe unfortunately I am down to Two, as all the US distributors have "sold" more than their allotment and one has told me I may have to loose one however they were ordered at exact same time so not sure how one made it but the other may have to be forfeited. Keep in mind these were ordered pre release and the other one was post which is all good! The reason for 3 is possible into Hotel and Home and winter vacay home! Yes I love GnR since their inception. Hope lots more coming to Canada!
Holy fuck! I have never heard of this. I thought you were just joking.

Quoted from WizardsCastle:Anyone want to sell a Super Chexx?
I prefer one of the new LCD screen ones if you have it.
PM me if you do.
The ones with the new screen are called Super Chexx Pro.

Quoted from dgpinball:I'm considering selling my RFM with an LCD screen, and I also have the SWE1 Kit for it, really not sure what the market is like for these today, either sold separately or as a package, would like to get a ballpark idea of what a fair price would be?
You have 125 PINBALL collection and you’re not sure what the market is like?

Quoted from KnockerPTSD:Why over msrp though? No mods listed. Even after taxes and delivery you could get one from Player One for that price.
People can sell their own stuff for however much they want.
Quoted from shaub:I definitely agree. But then again it's a public forum intended for the discussion of pinball, so maybe people should be free to discuss pinball-related things including prices/value.
Simple question asked, simple answer provided. No need to be telling people to keep their mouth shut.
Original post edited, sorry for offending.

Basically this is the only thread where Canadians can discuss anything without Americans ruining everything.
Quoted from HoneyBadger:Yeah, Is this a want to buy/sell Canadian Pinball thread or an arcade thread?
That is called Kijiji.

Quoted from Fytr:Selling DP = the biggest mistake of your pinball life!
What's next?
I couldn't agree with you more, must not have had a lot of space? I still play DP as often if not more then any of my other games.

Quoted from Williampinball:What I use is a big sheet of cardboard ,thick what works best is a box from Stern which I use ,when loading bring the cardboard almost out the back and put the pin on it lift up and slide in real easy too do and out the same way
This is the same method I use.
Quoted from luch:8.5k -9k canadian
I tried selling mine last year, probably in better condition then that (I’m the second owner) no wear, with all the same mods, couldn’t even get 8k. I guess some one is kicking themselves right now.

Quoted from Hobbypinball:Are you a deep player or a shallow player - and i'm not insulting either. As noted - CFTBL is much shallower. I had one and loved it. I personally don't like TSPP.
I still own TSPP and don’t like it either. I would be more excited about getting Creature! I keep it around because my family and friends like it though.

Quoted from rwmech5:Friend of mine is opening a new arcade here in town. Global news has a story on it tonight if anyone's interested.
Wow I didn’t see that coming, great news for sure! I haven’t heard a thing until now, and I own a retail shop a couple blocks away. I had three games in my shop for about a year until COVID. I wonder how he’s getting around the restrictions? Wish him all the best, I will help spread the word.
I am also in the process of selling my CE, I wrote a review if you want to know my opinion. To make things short, I love GNR, but I like fun games that have that “one more game” appeal. I don’t think this game was made for me. I need another rock pin though, If any wants to trade me their IMDN for my MBrLe I would be interested.

Quoted from Hammer3246:So it's looking like The Mandalorian, any chance of getting it?
I sure hope so! Canada will probably only get allotted 10-20 le’s I’m guessing.

Quoted from Animal:Dude, 14k US for a pin that you can order for much less now?? Why would anyone...not to mention that pinside is a community and price gouging is greedy, unlikable and uncool!
Everything you said here is true, except good luck getting a Mando LE for MSRP.

Quoted from Sububer:Hi folks - I'm looking to add two pins to my home bar and was wondering if there is anything for sale around Saskatoon (or willing to ship). Looking for classic titles (Medieval Madness, Twilight Zone, Adams Family) or a newer Stern as a place holder until I find the classics
Finding one of those games in good condition is like winning the pinball lottery, even then you will be paying a premium. If this is your first game, are you willing to pay 12k+ for the titles you mentioned?
Quoted from pingod:Mandalorian LE #354 for sale.
Way too many new games coming in.
Need the room, Pinside average price.
So does that mean overpriced 
Quoted from pinballjah:I can't recall the number of $10k stock investments I have lost money on, but never lost money on a $10k pinball machine. So really not a bad way to park your capital.
I couldn’t agree more. Worst case scenario is you play a 10k NIB game for a year then sell it for 9k.

Quoted from koji:One thing I've learned, is what is expensive now, is cheap 2 years from now
Not sure if you were being sarcastic? I guess we will see in 2 years, but I don’t think many people will be using the word cheap to describe buying any modern pin in the near future.

Quoted from pinballjah:How many plays haha. I’m not the only one bored with this game already.
I’m guessing you’re not a Iron Maiden fan? The music really puts this game in a league of its own, and makes it anything but “boring” for me.
Quoted from Hammer3246:Best place for HD glass in Canada?
Last time I checked Tommy (Nitro) said he had some coming in.

I felt this way a couple years ago and bought a Big Buck Hunter game, adds some nice variety to the game room and plays great solo. Regina is also home to some of the best Buck Hunters in the world, if interested check out Boston Pizza south on the weekends.

And since I'm on tha tpoint, hear me out, what if you wanted to buy or sell some parts?
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/canada-pinball-parts-wtblts-official-thread
Or what if, and don't call me crazy, you wanted to temporarily trade your pin with another local for one of their pins?

I just listed my TMNT Premium on Kijiji, here is the link. One of the Titan slingshot rubbers must of broke and I didn’t notice when I was taking pictures, whoops. I will replace with a new one of course.

Quoted from JordyRamone:I wish prices on used pins weren't crazy. Personally, I would rather buy a new pin then a used one since prices can be similar.
I’m selling a Stern Premium TMNT with Shaker, Art Blades, Cliffys, quiet fan, for 11k, NIB Stern Premium will cost you over 13k.
Quoted from luch:seems longer than 30-60 seconds , after everything looks like 20 -30 minutes , re video
Nothing in pinball takes 30-60 seconds, except maybe taking the glass off.
Quoted from pinballjah:Lucky if you can get $9kUS these days for a GnR LE. Very tough to move unfortunately.
What game is easy to move in Canada these days?
