    Keep it in the garage put a "not for sale" sign on it and take it off free play, and let people pay to play, maybe you'll make an extra 20$. Don't put an ad on cl saying your selling it though that's bait and switch.

    Quoted from too-many-pins:

    One in 500 people might be interested in pinball machines and maybe one in 5000 people might actually be interested in owning one. A lot of people you talk to will think they are cool to have but very few people would actually consider having one in their home.

    In the bay area CA if you list a pinball machine in your garage sale ad you will get interest. the people are always vague saying "oh its a baseball one" or don't list a title at all. I have emailed people many times to ask because chances are its Pachinko.

    I have seen ads get changed or come back up where the person will correct themselves, state the title and even say that they received dozens of emails about it.

    Quoted from Spybryon:

    I wish more of my neighbors knew I had them. It would be cool if some would come over and play. I have mentioned it to a few but not very much interest.

    Howdy neighbor! Just took a look at your collection and that is a great one! Any chance you live down the street from me in El Cerrito? Seriously though if you want someone to come by and talk pins and play let me know.
