Does anyone have a BMF that they are looking to sell?

Not looking for a project but I'm ok with a flakey display as I will just replace it.

Hey don't put us all into that category

Like others have said, it depends on the border guy/girl but you don't want to get caught (then flagged for future visits) trying to scam them on declared value. They can go through your phone and may hunt around, should they think that the pin is worth more. A hand written receipt is not worth the paper that it's written on, if they think that you are lying they will try to find something online to compare.

Anyone have a minty QC TOTAN available? I prefer brass hardware.

WTB a minty (restored or CQ) EATPM.

Let me know what you have available, thank you.

Looking for a CQ / restored Elvira and the Party Monsters if anyone has one available to finish off our collection. Please PM me.

Might be a long shot but does anyone in Ontario have or have access to a NIB Big Lebowski?

FANTASTIC SELLER POST: Birdnest

This post comes embarrassingly late but I've wanted to share my amazing purchase experience with Steve ( Birdnest ) in Porters Lake, NS last month.

Steve responded to one of my want ads for an EATPM. Steve did a top to bottom restore on the pin and was considering selling it. We exchanged a few PMs and then spoke over the phone and he wanted to provide a video chat/overview of the restore work. There isn't enough room here to write down everything that Steve did to this pin, from glass-flat cabinet finishing and art to CPR Gold PF, Mirrored BG, all new plastics, ramps, displays etc... This pin was in amazing condition! CQ to be sure.

One of the many things that impressed me about Steve was his openness about showing me the small things that he felt needed to be tweaked or that he wasn't pleased with and really none of these were of much concern to me. We then discussed price and I thought that he was quite fair with his asking price. I agreed to it and I worked out the shipping arrangements through Day & Ross. Steve had a friend who was willing to pallet (wrap and strapping) and deliver to the D&R terminal in Dartmouth which I also thought to be quite reasonable. Fortunately the pin arrived without any issues from D&R and she has been in one of my game rooms with her sisters SS and EHOH. I have seen done the couple of tweaks that we had discussed and I couldn't be happier.

Thank you Steve for making this one happen for me, I would buy from you again in a heartbeat!

Sounds good, I'll check it out. It looks like there was a $500US price increase since October which sucks. This would be cool if someone has a place in queue before the increase. That would cover shipping anyway!

You don't think that they will run it with the next season release?

PM sent for additional details on BM66, thanks.

What has Nitro typically been charging to ship a used pin for someone in BC to Ontario?

OK thank you! It sounds like you and I are in for a 'new to us pin'! Congrats!

Well, it looks like we've made that happen! We're stoked to bring it across to a new home.

Thanks again for your quick response.

That's crazy snd yes of course I will keep you in mind.
I've been looking and had passed on two others so I figured that I should mind the old saying '3rd time is a charm'.
You know my buddy Greg here in London. If you are in London for any reason message me if you have time for a visit l, we'll play and talk pinball.

Thanks!

There is always pinball browser if it is too repetitive. Interestingly, I have long since added sounds and a bit of music from the '66 series to the pinsound in my Batman Forever. A few of the sounds on that just grind you after a short while.

I can see it for an LE but for a Stern PRE that's nuts. That said, the BM66 PRE coming in was more still and yes nuts.

Yes sir and we're at 13% in Ontario plus shipping unless you can pick it up.

I wasn't saying that this wasn't close to the price of a PRE, I just said that it was nuts for a PRE. They will however keep selling and MSRP will continue to rise. Sadly this isn't a hobby that many can step into anymore.

I think that one of the sold but yes both were beauties at least as seen in his pics.

No more JP Pre? Or at least in 2022? Were they selling well?

Looking for a TFTC: restored or CQ, thanks.

Yes, No... Clear as mud.

I buy new from the US (now) and pay accordingly. I try to buy used this side of the border, now. Never say never but it has often been a pain.

At $1000-$1500, I'd buy NIB if the used one is dimpled etc. At $2K savings, it might still cause me to consider new. It is worth it for me to put my own wear time into my pin. That and I do installed playfield protectors where I can so I need to do that on a virgin PF.

Exactly. I was only referring to pins which are still in production and for me, I would buy NIB if the savings was $1000-$1500. I extended that by saying that even if the price was $2K of savings, I might still by NIB, might.

No you're talking complete sense!!

I love me the NIB experience so the 1-1.5 is something that wouldn't phase me. Of course that goes out the window on an out of production title. I wanted a BM66, post production and it cost me. It was then that the lifetime plays became important to me. How close to NIB/gently played can I find, was my goal. I found one with maybe 200 plays and the owner completely modded it up including large metal flake powder. I was fortunate to find it. There are definitely some beautiful HUO pins of course. We are just in a crazy price time, that seemingly has no end. Maybe the latest run on new releases and soon to be released will have some leveling effect, I have no idea.

I don't think that anyone is expecting a $2k cut from an in-production run. If it is referring to my post. I said that even with a $2K cut, I would have to think about it.

@hollywood, sorry that you are having to go through this. I did as well, back in 2015.

I can do the same if you need to go there. If she knows about pinside, you might just have to purge the account or see if the name can be changed.

Wishing you all the best as you and the kids go through this.

I had someone on PBR contact me in response to an older, but still active want ad for an MM, OG or remake. He said that he had one and asked if I was still looking. I said yes, that i would like to see pics and pricing, and that I have also been on an 'interest list' for a remake, through P1. He replied and essentially said that he wasn't sure that he was selling but that he would contact me after that long weekend.

Never heard back and found it beyond odd that he contacted me, to ultimately say that he wasn't sure if he was selling. How bizarre.

Life happens. Congrats on the new home.
