^. Already posted an ad on here, CL, Pinball reddit, and some facebook groups. What would be some other avenues?

#2 7 years ago

I have been looking for one for a while too. Eventually, one will pop up. You just have to be ready to pounce or you'll most likely miss it. Don't try to negotiate the price down. Just buy it. I bought this one today. Love it!

Kiss a turtle, I hear all your dreams will come true!

You could also search here for tmnt owners and PM each nearby owner and ask if they're interested in selling.

May I ask how much you got it for? That seems like a bit harassing. I'm going to get a premium ad soon. Hope it helps

It is annoying, I haven't gotten one in a while. Check games that might be for sale on pinballowners and Mr. Pinball. Also put up a wanted ad for Mr. Pinball. I've had luck through these methods.

Putting up WTB Craigslist in neighboring major cities couldn't hurt, either.

Best of luck!

My WTB ads here have been successful lately.

Best way to find one would be to spend all your funds on a different game. As soon as you buy it and are broke, one will pop up for a great price right down the street!

If youre desperate, you could try dr scotts pinball in toledo. I think he said once he has one on location. Itll be a routed game and probably have a dealer cost, and its in toledo, but hey, its a lead

#11 7 years ago

You could lay out some pizza, that usually attracts them.

#13 7 years ago
Quoted from Mrawesome44:

The website doesnt list one for sale.

I'm sending a pm now

Try calling. His website isnt updated often

#14 7 years ago

Bump I'm still looking

#15 7 years ago

I'm also adding a $200 bounty to whoever can successfully find and help me purchase one

#16 7 years ago

Did you call doc scotts? I know the store doesnt reopen until sat, but he may still answer his phone

#17 7 years ago

I have one but not for sale But I did see one today pop up on a facebook group. I'm not sure where it was located but I'll see if I can find it and let you know.

I called no one answered so ill try this weekend.

There was one that popped up on a the mid atlantic pinball fb group. But im tired of dealing with the seller. I keep having to jump through hoop after hoop. Which is why im offering a bounty because ive been looking for this pin awhile and im just tired of people wasting my time or trying to sell me very badly damaged pins

#19 7 years ago

Just so you know, he keeps odd hours. I dont think he opens till 4 or so, but sat he is having a reopening party so he should be there

I don't think that was the same one I saw but not sure. The one I saw was posted separately for $3000 (not sure if price was firm), I looked for a while through my history but can't find it so not sure if it already sold or not, sorry.

Yes the one for $3000 was the one i was talking about.

Not a problem I'll give him a call this weekend and inquire.

#22 7 years ago

#23 7 years ago

I sent you a pm Monarca1091

#24 7 years ago

Bump still looking. Increased Bounty to $225

#25 7 years ago

Follow Dominos around in NYC and look for storm drain deliveries

One of these popped up down the street from my house for like $600 a year ago. I think it was gone within 30 minutes. I think I still have the person's email. Maybe the buyer would sell it. Kinda a long shot.

#26 7 years ago

One popped up today outside of Milwaukee...Now, unless my geography skills are off, Wisconsin is not terribly close to Virginia...

Wisconsin is too far for me to drive. Not looking for anything over 7 hours.

I'll look through my email for you.

#30 7 years ago

Good lord, that is the mintiest tmnt I've ever seen!

#31 7 years ago

I was able to find and purchase a tmnt pin in good shape for $1300. Unfortunately whatever controls the sewer flap started smoking and burnt out so the sewer isnt opening and its a little loose not completely flat on the playfield. So im looking for someone who can help fix it. Am paying and will also pay for gas. I live in Richmond, Virginia
