Well these are not pins but if anyone wants a set of these I have some available. If you feel some of the sheets are missing important stickers let me know.

Quoted from Drano:Thanks!
Adding the shaker and 'fooling' the game into thinking it was an LE was tricky... but it was worth it!
The game is spectacular and is as nice or nicer than any LOTR LE I've seen. Just missing the golden backglass and plaque
It is perfectly dialed in and plays great! I'm sure someone will be very happy with it.
I already have to see this gem on MAACA and PinballRev..why do you torment me this way Drano?

I did, using a Fuji 2 stage Turbine Sprayer and Dupont (Nason) 2K 2-Part Automotive Clear.
Quoted from Twilight1:Nice work on that NGG CC! If you want to do one for me let me know? Did you do any touch up paint as well.
Yes I did the touch ups where the slam ramp and the pop bumper white where all creased. You can take a look at this thread for a few more pictures of the process. (first pic on that thread is a beofre and after shot).
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/no-good-gofers-restoration-project-the-never-ending-one
I just finished touching up a Fish Tales. And Next up I will dismantle my WCS and fix all the outholes, touch up the playfield and then clearcoat that one too.
Quoted from Atomicboy:Nice work Flash. Are you a autobody guy?
Nope. Just got steady hands and lots of patience.
Quoted from Twilight1:Nice how did you fill those holes amazing work.
Bondo, then some compound sanding, then color matched the colors, used frisket and an exacto knife and did several layers of acrylic paint.

Looking for Star Trek Pro, Iron Man, Lord of the rings, Tron..... no mods...bare bone! Money is burning in my pocket as we speak...
I'm contemplating of trading my FT. It comes with New decals (not installed) but the cabinet decals are unfaded as it is. the backbox decals need some work. I just put in a new ramp and all new plastics. Fully LEDed. And I have a CC playfield (fish overlay) to do the swap. Backglass as a small paint chip in it and it needs a new dome. Not sure I want to do a project this winter. Anyone want to do a trade of some sort.... If I end up doing this projet the game will look like a million bucks.
Pointandclickauctions is getting closer to ridiculous prices again. Don't people read before bidding.
10% premium fee + taxes??
With 7 hours left
Met Pro $3650 + 10% + 13% tax = $4536.95
CSI $2500 + 10% + 13% = $3107.50
Big Buck $2250 + 10% + 13% = $2796.75
Monopoly $2800 + 10% + 13% = $3480.40
Roller Coaster Tyccon $2350 + 10% + 13% = $2921.05
People have jumped off the deep edge....
FT sold pending drop off
Anyone have an ACDC Pro in OT or TO for sale.... I'm heading down on the 29th....
Quoted from BestShot31:What are the tax ramifications on buying a game in Canada and driving across the border back to the US? Is your price for the WOZLE negotiable? Will send a PM.
You pay a big fat ZERO!
Quoted from Spencer:Still have my Transformers LE for sale, open to offers. Fully modded.
I feel bad for poor ol'TF. It's a great game that never got passed the initial bad rep. I owned a pro a really loved it. I hope this one finds a good home
Quoted from Spencer:Does anyone know someone in Canada/Calgary that would do some boardwork, for a reasonable rate? Non pinball game, seems easy enough.
I`ll let you know when I receive my bill from a guy in Ottawa.
Quoted from aeonblack:From where?
I think those are just brokerage fees on top of the shipping.
Quoted from aeonblack:Didn't think so, but I've never brought anything large/expensive over so I'm not too sure. Thanks for clearing that up.
It doesn't matter what you bring over. You will pay your provincial tax when you bring it in. You can also save a few bucks if you stay more than 48 hours in the states. You can deduct $700 or $800 CDN (not sure which one) from the price before they apply tax.
Ex. You buy Pin X for $3500.... you stay in the states for 48 hours. You get to the border and this is what they do
$3500US convert to CDN (at the conversion rate of the day of sale) ---> $3954CDN
Then they take off $800..so you are down to $3154 * provincial tax.
That's it.
Now back on topic....anyone know of a routed ACDC Pro anywere with a crappy playfield that someone wants to sell?
Quoted from violinfather:Thinking of selling my TWD LE. It is a great game but really it is not a hit at all in my current one pin home. My family and even guests just don't get long enough ball times so that they can really enjoy it. Any idea about the hit I will take, if any, now that I have had it for a couple of weeks.
Min $500.

Quoted from Bigbossfan:Still looking for a nice CFTBL! Come on....someone must want to part with one!
Gerry has a few for sale from his container order.
I just think Gerry thought he was smart about not posting is prices... i just hink it backfired because some of the prices he gave me are higher/lower than what movingpictures posted. either way that POTC's cab was beat up to hell and he thinks we will buy. The JP was $2100 and the back of the cabinet was completely destroyed. Mind you i guess some people did because the order is closed.
Quoted from Hammerhead:The conversion and shipping are all included. Those prices are CAD, pickup at his door.
Prices aren't great, but I saw two WCS in Chicago with asking prices of $2900 and $3150 USD.
By the time you are done fixing a container game those prices will feel like a deal. Believe me I just started buying pieces for my WCS restore....$225+ for new plastics / $50 for plastic protectors / $100 for cliffy's / $200 for new ramps / another $50 just for the ramp decals / $30 new rubbers / $10 new balls / $100 in misc parts so far. That's $700 + in parts alone. I still have to fix the out holes, clear the playfield etc. Plus the a-hole who sold me this said there were no hacks or cracked ramps and is on this forum. Just from the top I got a game with hacked connectors up the wazoo, a very black DMD controller board, cracked ramps and almost all the plastic were cracked, missing speaker panel, old Bally legs.....Once I start my restore thread I am throwing him under the bus. I overpaid for the machine to start with....so these container games are buyers beware...you might luck out and get a good one or you might end up shit creek just like me.
Quoted from Atomicboy:Has anyone purchased NIB state side and brought back? IF so, did you have to pay state taxes AND taxes again once entering Canada?
There is one I'm thinking of buying stateside, but it's Michigan, 6%, but I can't imagine I would again have to pay the full 13% in Ontario as well. I can't imagine I would be charged taxes twice for one object, but I could be wrong. Anyone done this?
You will have to pay the 13% reguardless. AS for michigan's tax their might be an exemption on certain products.
Quoted from Atomicboy:I don't think so with this one. I think it will be a massive winner and hoarded.
I betting across the board, unanimously, this will be considered the single greatest machine ever made.

GEt yourself a card that gives you 2%-4% cash back at the end of the year like the scotiabank Momentum... problem solved. You'll get the money or part of it at the end of the eyar and be protected.

I'm tempted to trade my IMVE for a TWD Pro / Prem or a Tron. How much do these go for now. My IMVe also would come with extra right ramp and as the pinbits plastic protectors.
I was thinking
IMVE - TWD Pro = some cash my way
IMVE - TWD Prem = some cash their way
IMVE - Tron = Straight trade
I'm I completely out of left field here?
Quoted from QuarterGrabber:IMVE - Tron = some cash their way
I guess it depends on condition and if it's modded like a xmas tree.
Quoted from Fifty: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.
Defective hologram will do that to a price
Quoted from Plumonium:Like how much?
If my memory serves me right $400US + shipping
My IMVE has a total of 467 plays looking for Tron (unmodded) TWD Pro or Prem
Quoted from QuarterGrabber:Have you contacted capguntrooper yet??

Quoted from pinballophobe:Out of curiousity. With the weak CND. Has anyone bought NIB within the last 6 months?
And with Greece causing all kinds of market cluster fu*ks I doubt the dollar is going to go up anytime soon. They predicted the CDN dollar will go even lower before the end of the year.
And with the nice folks at Starburst trying to scratch up every penny I don't see them making fortunes this year. I called Michel in MTL the other day to get a price / trade on my IMVE. Needless to say he took out his Pinball Price Guide book and showed me the price of the VE and told me he would give "XXXX". Obviously there is a typo in the guide which flipped the values of the original and VE. So he tried to make the deal knowing fully well there was a typo and pretended it was the right value. I called him on it and then it tells me flat out "yeah I know there a mistake" but he still tried to snatch it up at lower value. I don't blame the guy but please "don't act stupid" it just makes me want to take my business elsewhere.
I hope Starburst gets some competition because their business ethics are way out of left field.
Quoted from BMHouze:Am I high?
Who in their right mind trades in or sells to a retailer of any sort and expects a fair shake unless you are related to them or saved them from certain death. May as well try the pawn shop down the street.
At least now you know the guide price when you market for private sale.
I was curious to see what kind of price he would give me and believe me when I say this "No pinhead / informed individual" in their right mind would have taken that offer. Let's put it this way they would have taken my IMVE with 457 plays on it and I would have had to give them more than $2K for a NIB TWD. I almost fell off my chair when I saw the numbers.
I wasn't wasting is time but when he flats out tells me that an IMVE is worth $4K CDN I can't help but not take him serisouly and then for him to flag the flaw in the pinball guide has proof and then to acknowledge that he knows their is a mistake....well....I guess everyone can look at the picture differently....
I'll agree with you that Michel is an easy guy to talk to, that is curteous etc... Don't get me wrong I don't mean to drown the guy but don't take me for an idiot.
Quoted from SuperPinball:I'll give you $4001
Quoted from Meegis:$4005
and I'll store it at superpinballs place rent free
"Bob Barker"...."And the actually retail price is....."
Number was a lot closer to $2500..just so I don't have to hear about this meow / bark stuff LOL. The game is listed in the Pinball guide for $5600US. You guys do the math (and yes I know that number can be up or down depending on certain factors).
Quoted from Hawk007:Sooooooo ...back on topic.....anyone in canada have any pins they want to sell?
I've got an IMVE up for Trade for a TRON (unmodded), TWD Pro, TWD Prem, TF PRO, maybe MET Pro. Game has 457 plays on it comes with pinbit plastic protectors.
image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpg
Quoted from movingpictures:Speaking of informed individuals: What exactly do you think your IMVE is worth?
That game is $5000 on a good day.
NIB TWD is $6495 + tax (14.975%) = $7467
Don't fall off your chair, pick up a calculator instead.
Ok. I'll make sure to keep that in mind. But before you go all ape shit just remember that I never said anything about a valued price, apart from mentioning the price in the guide nor did I ever say I was specifically looking for NIB box. I said I was looking to trade my IMVE and explored some options (yes I called Starburst). All I know is that it's not worth $4K.
Quoted from movingpictures:If you think an IMVE seels for anywhere near $5600 usd you are deluded.
I said book value. Now we all know what that means right??? Sorry to the other people trying read sales / trades on this thread apparently a) people cant bother to read properly and b) this guy has had it in for me since I started Where's the code. You can keep puckering up all you want. I couldnt really give two sh*ts what you think. over and out!
I totally get meegis. My beef was more when he pulled out the book with the typo as a reference to justify his price knowing fully well it was a mistake. Then I called him on it and he then acknowledged it was a mistake. That's what really got me.
Sorry folks back to the fs thread.

Quoted from devpin:Funny, I thought is site caters to all to love pinball. I am a private owner, have been for decades, well before you started collecting pinballs
What is a dealer? Some one to be frowned upon? I have been in this industry 32 years. Yes, I sell pinballs, new and used. Is that a dealer? It's all I do, full time. Therefor, I'm obligate to collect taxes, it's the law. Anyone of sane mind knows that all prices in Canada are + taxes, so what am I not being up front about, please tell.
Most prices on here are on a cash basis collector to collector transaction (no taxes)....if you are a dealer you would have to be upfront that the price does not include taxes. Apart from that I don't have a problem with anyone on here trying to sell a game.
Quoted from devpin:Careful guys! You just never know who could be reading these type of sites looking for extra tax revenue
Hey, someone knocking on my door, gotta go!
It's ok, we could always ask Stevie to write me a $90k cheque to cover our expenses. Now back to this topic... Who's got what for sale
Quoted from TBatti:Retailer has STTNG for $6,499 CDN. Not sure if that a good price.
NO! Best bet would be for you to take a look at a few games and figure out what you like. If you are in an area with few games you can always search papa.org or pinballvideos.com to check out some gameplay. After that narrow down your ideal game and post a wanted ad here. Going to a retailer for your first game you are going to pay above prime dollar for it.
And if you want to spend that kind of coin on your first game I would suggest you search newer stern titles. Take a look on maaca or pinball revolution. Shipping games is relitively cheap in Canada.
Quoted from devpin:OK, we need to sort this out, so I offer NIB at $6390, landed in Saskatoon. Toronto offers the same pin at $6495, and your going to pay min. $200. shipping.
All I can figure out is your saying they will drop their price $400, or more, off their asking price to make the sale. Am I understanding you correctly? And therefore, that what makes my price unattractive. Is this correct?
I think we are deviating for this thread but I will answer your question. $6495 is the retail price and I know for a fact that they sell lower than that. Shipping via sameday is less than $200 tax in for almost Canada wide. I got a pin shipped from archer600 in Regina to Ottawa for like $130 tax in.
And last but no least.. a pinball that as been taken out of the box and played is like driving a car off a dealer's lot. As soon as the wheels roll off the dealer's lot you have just depreciated the value of the car by 1000's. now I'm not saying that you should value your pin for thousands less....what I'm saying is that if you really want to sell it....it will either be a to a local or a person who's buying there first pin... or else be prepared to somewhat take a hit on price because someone could just buy from Nitro or Playdium directly and get a brand new game in the box for the same price.
Now I hope this case is closed and we can move on to trading/selling pins in Canada!
Quoted from pinballophobe:Ditto. I'm kinda tempted to sell my ST pro and get a STLE
Pinballophobe buys bcrage's STLE and then sells his ST Pro to TBatti = everyone happy
Quoted from dirkdiggler:What about everyone else who wants his st pro??
I'm just stating that a particular ST Pro owner wants to upgrade to a ST LE. It doesn't matter who gets the Pro but just thought giving a newbie first crack at a game would be fun.

Quoted from libtech:Thats the problem with the market right now, to buy anything else youd need to get the full exchanged value, but no one wants to pay the full exchanged value yet to buy the game.

Quoted from aeonblack:Everyone wants a deal until they are selling their own machine. I just bought my heavily modded Tron Pro from the states because no one here would sell/trade me one. I paid $6500 US + $620 US for shipping + $510 CAD for brokerage. With the exchange at the time, that's right around 10k for a tron pro. I would have paid pretty much the same to buy one if someone sold me locally. Welcome to 2016. Get ready to watch people shipping pins BACK to the states, because they are the only ones willing to pay current fair market value. The reality is that it's not a buyers market right now, and you can't fault sellers for that.
Well shit..... I would have sold you mine for that much. So hear this, if anyone wants to buy my Tron Pro it's got the light cycles mod, the pinbits protectors, the 3D translite, silkscreened cab, the cliffy protectors / ramp protectors, the recognizer mod, Hooked bumper caps, the pinball customs sticker, HUO and fully LEDed with comet LEDS I am the second owner. $6700US shipping will be roughly $175 canada wide (you pick the transport of your choice that you arrange) and you don't have to pay brokerage.
Quoted from TwilightZone:$10K CDN will probably get many Canadian Tron owners to sell LOL.
You know me. Or I would trade in for a TWD Pro with $2350CDN in my pocket cash.
I find it somewhat funny when they say us prices should not affect or influence the pinball market when playdium deals in US CAN conversions all the time and the market is directly influenced by the strength of the dollar.
I'm curious what people would think these two games go for in today's market
Tron
HUO
3D translites / silk screen cab version
Shaker motor coin taker
Pinbits protectors
Coment leds throughout
Recognizer mod
Recognizer decal
Hooked Bumper Caps
Cliffys (ramp and playfield)
Light Cycle Hallmark mod
Metal leg protectors
I'm sure I am forgetting something
ST Pro
Floor model (not HUO) but came with 173 plays
Pinbits protectors
Shaker Moter
Cliffys
Freddy's ramp protectors
Quoted from QuarterGrabber:I don't know if I'd keep advertising the silk screened cab as a feature. Most people prefer the hi res decals over the low res silkscreen cab.
I'm just stating facts that's all. At least people would know what they would be getting.
Quoted from str8cash:St pro used huo about 6k. You can get them new in box for $5400us which is about $7300. Though not sure what current exchange is. $7100 taxes in at xmas time when I got a quotes.
$5400Us at today's exchange rate is $7835 Cdn even before you pay taxes.
well post both games on maaca and pinrev
ST Pro $7450 CDN - Tron $8750 CDN
Quoted from blowback1976:I have a South Park available for trade. Game has had new flipper assemblies installed, new Mr. Hankey assembly, new full set of plastics installed, NVRAM installed, flipper button protectors installed, new toppers, Cointaker LED kit, fully Cliffy protector set installed, playfield has been stripped and new rubbers installed. Also have a new set of Pinblades (not installed yet). Cab does have wear on the backbox, and on the front by the coin door. Also wear spot at one of the ball drops. Games I would be interested in trading for: Stern Playboy, Star Wars Ep. 1, Stern Grand Prix/NASCAR, High Roller Casino, Sharkey's Shootout, X-Files, Last Action Hero, The Getaway, Jugde Dredd, No Fear, Doctor Who, Baywatch, Starship Troopers, Independence day, Goldeneye, Twister.

kijiji is a go check out game first. Bring money after. I never show up at a kijiji pin transaction with money in hand. I usually send the guy an email money transfer directly from his house and then chit chat until payment arrives in his email.
Quoted from Bigbossfan:I've used Sameday within Canada. Last time it cost me about 200.00 to ship from Calgary to a Toronto depot. To be honest, I think rates vary upon what the cost of gas is at the time, as this plays into the transport company's cost.
I use them as well. I ship a pin from Saskatoon to Ottawa for $160 bucks. When you get it delivered to your house the price goes up substantially
Quoted from icanswim70:Always looking for: The Simpsons Party, South Park, and Family Guy
I think House of Targ in Ottawa wanted to sell there South Park but not sure..might want to investigate.
Quoted from Flippersdotcom:We of course also sell Stern Pinball (always have). We also sell Jersey Jack and Planetary Pinball machines. Based out of Vancouver, BC since 1979. There are, of course, many great regional retailers in other Provinces selling machines, Absolute Pinball in Saskatchewan and Jay Richardson in Alberta, to name a few... John :-#)#
Too bad that you all have to go through playdium to get Stern machines. It's a monopoly that needs to get qwashed
Quoted from PureTO:my deposit is secure and they aren't going to disappear.
Nothing is secure. Michel is sweating bullets right now because Stern is not delivering stock. The people still have to get paid so they are burning through money. I, myself am waiting on a GB Pro but if I find a Tf Pro before then I'm going to save my money and buy GB Pro down the line and who knows from who I am going to buy it.

Was then bought by a dealer here in town and resided with him for a long time, until sold to the person who has it on kijiji.
Asking $7 seems steap but what do I know. Seems like it was well maintained but hard to tell from those pictures.
Looking for TF LE Combo for the right price.
Yeah I know.. call me a cheap bastard but after seeing pricing trends on TF Le's in the last year or so I am not willing to spend more than $5K on an LE pending condition. Some modded ones have sold for under that. In the end we just couldn't get a deal done.
Quoted from Meegis:The last 3 tfle that sold in Ontario (in the last 3 months) have all been north of $6k
I was not aware of that. But none the less that game as been sitting there for two months at $5700 so there are three conclusions here. A) the folks that bought at $6K + really wanted the game at all costs or overpaid B)No one else wants a TF LE apart from me C)Times are changing.
Quoted from smokedog:Bingo. Starting to saturate a bit for titles that are $4K and above. Everyone wants a deal, no one wants to lose money on a sale.
My Met didn't sell at $5K. *shrug* Going back on route, and will eventually go on kijiji.
I would have most likely bought this but have absolutely no interest in met, yet I like TF go figure
Quoted from Bigbossfan:All you Calgary peeps..........if this is a legit ad for a FT, someone could get a really nice deal.
http://www.kijiji.ca/v-electronics/calgary/fish-tales-pinball-machine/1180290677?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true
If this was in Ontario I would already be on the phone.
Quoted from brad808:Not sure why that one hasn't sold yet. Its been for sale since may. http://www.maaca.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=20757&p=178552&hilit=Transformers#p178552
Because most people dislike TF. I personally really like it but not willing to pay that price. I'm probably the only guy here that wants this thing.
Quoted from str8cash:What do you want to pay? I'd pay 5k for that tf combo today if it was by me. Never hurts to make a offer.
That's what my final offer was.
Quoted from Meegis:Obviously you don't like it enough.
Oh I like it. But I won't pay more than what I feel it's worth. I don't see anyone else lining up.
When greed takes over...stupid things happen. I remember in Ottawa a few years back a condo developper put up a new building for sale with great amenities and upgrade and they sold 80% of the condo in one day. Then greed kicked in and they decided to call up all the people that booked there place and told them they would not get x,y,z and that the price and gone up. Result = everybody backed out and the developer stood their with his shlong in his hands and his other fist up his a**.
Quoted from Rob_G:So it's an 'auction' then eh?
Rob
6k for a routed acdc? Must be really nice with low plays.
Quoted from Chambahz:Do I need to explain what happens when there's only 1 distributor selling these pins?
Then Stern should sell directly to Nitro and everyone else that wants to sell their products as long as they meet a minimum quota order.
Quoted from Chambahz:This "pricing scheme" is setup to protect the distributors
Then the system is broken because currently you only have one distributor in Canada Starburst Cineplex. Talk about inviting in competition.
I don't see computer part manufacturers laying down the hammer on electronic shops that advertise their products cheaper than somewhere else. Sure resellers need to advertise the MSRP but the fact that you have to call is plain non-sense.
If someone wants to make $100 bucks profit and another $300 that's their choice to make.

FT GB Pro for acdc, spiderman, TSPP, mustang prem or LOTR
Gb has
Under cabinet lighting, clear flipper protectors, flipper warning mod, library scoop light mod, storsge facility light mod, colored captive balls, shaker motor and pinball universe outlane mod.
HUO first owner less than 150 plays
NO Ghosting or issues of anykind.

1.12 feels like 1.05. Just easier to get throught the modes. I wish they linked a multi all with the amount of pke switches you hit in one swoop. Game code is fairly simple as it stands. Nothing overwhelmingly original.
Well can't seem to find a trade for an ACDC or LOTR so putting the sucker up for sale
HUO GB Pro $7600 CDN
Mods ($500 US)
- storage facility light mod
- scoop light mod
- pinball universe upgrade out lane kit
- flipper caution overlays mod
- Shaker motor
- under cab lighting
- flipper clear protectors
- cliffy's for drop targets and drain hole (not yet installed)
- slimer speaker grills (not yet installed)
- top lane mirror (not yet installed)
- color captive balls
+/- 150 plays (I update to code 1.12 and forgot to get the count)
Quoted from Twilight1:AC/DC is on hold until satday. Monday latest have a local cash deal going for two pins. Sounds like he's more interested in the other pin. So I'll update asap. Thanks for all the interest. Tim
Since you've owned both ACDC's which one is better? Take into consideration about the LED Pro version? Oppinions?
Looking for an AC/DC Led Pro but I don't think I could find one in Canada. They are a scarce commodity
Quoted from libtech:Not much difference, just leds (which most will have by now), swinging bell and the newer metal head right?
Sounds about right.
Quoted from EvanDickson:I was thinking exactly this the other day, you have to go back many many pages in this thread to see anything besides new Sterns. I think it indicates that even the newest machines don't stack up to old B/W titles, because people are willing to part with their new machines any day of the week, but not with their old.
Ive been looking for an acdc pro and cant find one go figure
Quoted from PureTO:$7K for an F-14? Are there gold bars hidden inside?
Equipped with real missiles?
Wcsbrandes has some at his spa i thunk. I shit you not lol. Wife can relax in the spa and you can play pinball
What should my gb sell for? Serious question. Its got $500 US of mods and about 150 plays. No ghosting issues. I put $7600 OBO to remove the tire kickers out of the equation.
I'd trade for an ACDC + cash my way but it seems that the most popular modern Stern is nowhere to be found.
Quoted from blowback1976:Looking for a Sharkey's Shootout or NASCAR/Grand Prix/Dale Jr. Working or not, pm me if you have one available.
Some dude in quebec as a grand prix
Price reduced on my GB Pro $7300, including $500US worth of mods.

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.
The border agents in AB are civil. I get a nice 13% bill everytime i cross in Ontario
Quoted from violinfather:Anybody in Alberta have a Ghostbusters LE or Premium for sale? Might also consider a Pro.
Even if I have one for sale (GB Pro) Dylan (Archer600) as one closer than me...hit him up he's in sask. Purchased my ST Pro from him and was not dissapointed. In fact I'm playing it now. Or you can buy my modded GB Pro. Your call.
Why is it so hard to find a damn ACDC Pro in Ontario or Quebec for that manner. Why?
Quoted from beatmaster:yep, they are hard to find, michel from starburst in montreal said if i ever want to sell my game just call him.
how much are you willing to pay... just kidding.
That's just mean.... I do want one but not willing to sacrifice and arm and a leg and my first born .
But the trade list for my GB Pro is this:
Willing to trade for the following games (in order of preference)
AC/DC Pro / LED Pro
Mustang Premium
Spiderman
Lord of the rings
Metallica Pro
The pro is the true LE. And i own an LE. Was impossible to find a pro. The mini playfield gets alot of hate. The only thing you need to do is deactivate the lock so the balls never stay stuck up there for the ironhide mini playfield mode. Secondly i found the star scream mech to be more fun than i thought because of the randomness of either getting the ball from the ramp or it getting dumped in the left loop. The drop target in fron of megatron also adds another level if complexity. Ive own both the pro and the LE. While the pro tends to be a bit faster, after owning both i feel you get a tad more on the le. Both are winners in my book.
GB Pro still up for grabs for $7300 with $500US of mods willing also to trade for these titles
Willing to trade for the following games
AC/DC Pro / LED Pro
Mustang Premium
Spiderman
Lord of the rings
Metallica Pro
Pirates of the Caribbean
Twilight Zone
Addams Family
Scared Stiff
White Water
Funhouse
The Shadow
X-Men LE
Road Show
Champion Pub
Game of Thrones (Is it possible to buy a Premium or LE Translite? I just can't stand the Pro Translite)
Quoted from pingod:Send it here and only pay 5%, road trip for pick up
5% alberta 10-14% elsewhere .....good idea for people living i SK. Find a pinbuddy in AB
GB Pro 7300 including delivery to Toronto
Must be tomorrow.

Thinking of putting my Star Trek pro on the chopping block as a trade. Looking for something different. Game as shaker motor, cliffys, ramp protectors, vengeance mod, pinbits plastic protectors, clear flipper protectors and undercab lighting. Pics on cdn forums. Game was a floor model when I purchased it with 146 plays. Haven't looked how many plays I have now but game is in perfect condition. I'm not exactly sold on anything but these would make the list...
Road Show
Pirates of the Caribbean
X-men Pro
Quoted from EvanDickson:Up for sale, or for trade only?
Quoted from paul_8788:Really? I get that it is unavoidable if buying from a retailer, but local pinheads buying/selling that way? One of the big benefits of buying locally is not having to pay shipping and tax, someone starts adding that on to their price and I will just bring it up from the States.
Thats because you alberta folks have been pampered with a 5% provincial tax while the rest of the country as moved into double digit taxing. No worries your time will come. Im sure you wouldnt be singing the same tune if you would lose an extra 8% because of taxes. Do the math.....its scary. Going to the states also factor, fuel, time, food etc.. Just taxes alone on a 4300US pin in ontario will add $754 in tax plus exchange rate fees. Where as you guys pay about $290.
Quoted from redundor:I wish you were closer! Star trek is a fun game and I have a nice road show I am thinking of parting with. Oh well...
You could always drive down LOL
Quoted from Dee-Bow:TAf on kijiji Ottawa for $4500 w/o color dmd
No reply but if its real then someone will get a deal.
Well now I might have found another pin that I really like so ACDC is still on the chopping block. Selling two pins in one day....who would have thought.
If you guys are interested in some warning decals, I'm holding a sale for two awesome dudes that helped me out and without pinside, this would have never happened.

Quoted from qmacaulay:As l live on the west coast I would have to trust a shipping company not to damage in transit (and seller do a good job of protecting), giving money before receiving product, and unable to play before buying...
That being said I might opt for that route but I guess I'm not there yet and hoping one will turn up on the west coast.
Don't count on the shipping for compensation if they ruin the game. These guys are saints and have no morale conscience. Concider yourself warned. I'm in a battle with a shipping company that damaged my LOTR. I even purchased additional insurance. Now the third party broker is claiming clemency, the shipper says they would do no such thing. The person that signed for it at the accepting warehouse didn't look for damage and signed for the game. Failure on so many levels. Conclusion you are on your own.
Quoted from qmacaulay:Thanks for the input! Does anyone have experience using a "white glove" shipping service? I assume you used a standard shipping service?
white glove, golden glove.....they'll rip you a new one no matter which service you use. My best advice. The seller should put the game in a palette and buy about 5 heavy blankets and wrap it up like crazy, then use packing wrap and just to town with it and wrap the thing again so it looks like a big marshmellow.

The pictures of the head make it 100% scam. They were taken from a guy that used to do restores in the states until he passed away. So I doubt he's restoring games beyond the grave
I just had to laugh. Not one but two high speed games for $5000. Love the description...minor flaking... Ok to good playfield.... I dont rhink i would even give him half.

Yes
I dont think you will see alot on this side of the border. Operators might get some and even some i have spoken to are saying that stern is losing their minds on pricing.
Quoted from pingod:Well here in Alberta,we are still buying them.
I know for sure a few pro's and LE's coming here.
Pro on location to.
Getting to pricey now though,might need to tap out soon.
The teason you are still buying them is because they are 8% cheaper than anyehere else in canada. If oil prices stay the same way you can kiss your 5% tax bracket goodbye. Buy them while you can.
Im going to bet you pack it and bring it to the terminal. That way two things happen 1) the guys on the forklift take their time to move the game because you are there. 2) its cheaper
Quoted from libtech:Shipping isnt horrible in the states, but we have it better thankfully. However shipping to and from the states sucks mainly due to the brokerage fees and taxes. The shipping itself is often not that bad when considering the distance traveled.
Shipping from chicago to ogdensburg ny costme $345US. Shipping from Regina to Ottawa cost me $175.

I got hosed. The warehouse signed for it and it clearly stipulates that the person signing verified and found it to be in good condition. Which it clearly wasn't. the entire experience has ruined the game for me. But hey someone else loss is some else's treasure.

Quoted from Damien:I have comparable quotes from Same Day, Day & Ross, and FedEx Freight.
Wondering what company you guys would suggest out of the bunch?
They are all the same. If you don't pack this thing like it could survive a nuclear attack you'll be shit out of luck either way if something happens. + Make sure you pack this thing in front of the guy that picks it up. Or pack it at the depot. Take a shitload of pictures from all angles.

Nitro Pinball
We're required to forward all requests for Stern in the East to P1. They're required to forward all requests for Stern in the West to Nitro. I'm sure there'll be some overlap in the short term due to existing orders and long term relationships. But that in essence is the spirit of the agreement.
In other words, Stern makes sure there is still no competition in Canada.
Player 1 was the only Canadian Distributor as of last week. Nitro made the announcement last week that he had become a Stern Distributor for Western Canada. Which now makes 2 official Stern distributors. Resellers buy from distributors....

Quoted from TwilightZone:T3 still available. Reducing the price to $4,750.
It's a fantastic game. I'm just out of room. Unlike alot of recent Sterns, the code is complete Includes a mini-wizard mode and lots of opportunities to stack modes.
Located in Ottawa. Willing to ship if you handle the arrangements.
The game is real nice. Played it a few times and Twilight likes to keep his games top notch all the time. He's out of space but I'm sure he'd buy my TWD Especially that code 1.60 was released an hour ago
Uship should get bids but it would be safe to get a backup plan. Whatever you do do not get R&L. You could call Michelle Bianci at STI to get a quote. If you go with them make sure the guys at the auction pack this thing very well and in accordance to the packaging standards of the transport board of America. These fuckers use every trick in the book to get away with it if they damage the game. Ask the auction folks to take 100,000,000 pictures of it unwrapped, wrapped, videos of it being wrapped you name it.

Quoted from FlipperFreak:The restriction was based on a short lived agreement we had with P1. The agreement is now toast. Nitro ships all brands Canada wide. Contact me anytime for a quote (604) 226-5346.

Pinside's evaluation average is $6400 USD - in today's CDN market that is $8400 (direct conversion) + Twilight has the arcade mod, some EL wire and a slew of other things in there. I've seen this game and it's beautiful and would fetch more than $6400 USD, this is not a routed beater. It's all original, I think the only defect is a very minor scratch the size of a pencil point. If you look at the market on pinside one just sold for $6400 with some mods, this should give you a good idea. Is the price steep yes... will you find a tron any other way then paying a premium... no..unless Stern decides to redo a VE... And I don't think the demand is high enough to warrant that, the time has passed..... unless Disney make another Tron movie...

Quoted from extraballingtmc:A lot of houdinis are moving fast. Too hard for most I guess.
I like it but i really think im going to like Pirates more...but deadpool might come along and screw those plans up
Quoted from extraballingtmc:Have you played pirates? Didn’t do anything for me.
Deadpool could be pretty cool. Munsters is the stern that has me most interested though.
I havent, im hoping it will be at the ottawa pinball show come september.

Looking to trade my Dialed IN LE for something new. Not really sure what.... newer sterns, chicago gaming, B/W titles... GOTG Pro (is definitely on the list)
Dialed In LE $11,500 or trade.
After receive alot of offers of what I didn't want I decided it was mostly a more proactive measure to figure out of list of what I really wanted. In Order of preference
1. Guardians of the Galaxy (pro or prem)
2. Star Wars Premium
3. Medieval Madness Standard
4. Spiderman Vault
OR
$11,500 (firm) and takes into account the problems listed below. You can get this game $1600 less than retail.
The game has very low plays, (i'll have to check but Im guessing less than 200) and is HUO. I am the only owner. There are some cosmetic issues.
1. There is a tear in the decal on the right side of the head. JJP did send me a replacement decal for it (not installed)
2. There is a small knick on the side rail where the lockdown bar and the rail meet.
3. Small dent in the back of the head.
I have the scoop cliffys but have not installed them. While people said it was easier to get SIM card with the Cliffy I opted to leave the originals on until they needed replacing. I also have the modfather shooter rod.
Apart from that the game is perfect.

Houdini $9700
I've decided to make a complete shuffle.
I can take pictures but this game is 100% mint as probably less than 100 plays.
Game is 100% stock with the side decals + set of target decals.
Buy Dialed IN LE + Houdini and we can work out a deal.
Dialed In LE $11,500

Since I am apparently getting a thumbs down, I'd be curious to know how much people think these are worth. Please consider location in your estimate. I know folks in AB pay only 5% tax while people in Ontario pay 13% which can fluctuate the price greatly. I want to be fair but don't want to hand them over either.
