I'd suggest making a donation. Robin and his brother do a great job on this site and really help bring the community together.

Keep posting what you're looking for and selling locally in this thread. The opportunity to meet local collectors is what it's all about. Or you can just pm me first if you'd like.

Quoted from rosh:

If I agree to sell at a price, I sell it at that price. If after I hang up the phone someone else offers more, I honor my original agreement.
When I bought my Bally Playboy, which was HUO, the guy wanted $400 I gave him twice that, since its was worth far more then even that. The guy was quite surprised but to me it was the right thing to do.
Maybe I am old fashioned in doing things this way, I guess it was how I was raised. Be true to your word. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

Amen brother. Especially on "If I agree to sell at a price, I sell it at that price. If after I hang up the phone someone else offers more, I honor my original agreement." Real simple, are you a dick or are you an honest person? Unfortunately, running into a lot of dicks in this hobby lately. Which is why I choose to hang with the honest people. I'd rather lose $500 then do business with a dick. Just sayin.

Just wanted to give a thumbs up to FILAMENTPRINTING based in Batavia IL. They created custom coin door reject buttons and offered a few free to the community to try.

I was able to install them today (stop laughing those that know me). They look really sweet!! I need to take better pics (don't do it justice) but they are that smart little extra to dress up your machine. I installed on AC/DC and STLE. Can't post pics in this thread but will give business review elsewhere. Thanks Jason!

If someone in Chicago bought a Cactus Canyon LE and would prefer a beautiful Safe Cracker let me know.

It seems if you wait to see a game, rather than preorder, you have zero chance of obtaining in this hot marketplace. I would have thought LEs would be available following announce at Expo but I seem to always underestimate the market. Maybe it's just meant to buy a Godzilla.

#9681 2 years ago
Quoted from KingPinGames:

Maybe your distributor wants a safecracker...

Looking for a mint condition Flash Gordon or restored one. No wear please.

Willing to trade a WCS.

2. Demolition Man $4200
The good: Everything works, swear ROM installed

Quoted from gweempose:

Hey guys, just another friendly reminder that you MUST create an ad for any game that you are selling or trading in this thread that is over $3,000. That means no posts such as, "I'm thinking about selling my Walking Dead premium. Hit me up if you're interested." or "I've got a gorgeous HUO STTNG that I'm looking to trade." If you have a game that you want to sell or trade, please create an official marketplace ad BEFORE posting about it. I've been very relaxed about this, but I'm going to have to start deleting posts if people don't follow the rules. Thanks!

Please follow Gweem's direction and AFTER always make sure to post in this thread. I'd still like to see more games stay in IL and within this sub community. But create an ad first then let us know in here.

I'm gonna post this whirlwind again. I've reduced this a few times. The pics haven't been updated, I now have brand new stand ups on this too. It is a damn damn DAMN fine machine. But I'm aware it is a niche market for a super nice older machine.

I say that and yet people are paying 15k for freaking centaur, so what do I know.

Summer usually slower selling season. Absolutely beautiful version of the game though. Good luck with sale.

On the discussion of perceived less games for sale in Chicago area, I agree with Yancy and other comments. Many games are exchanged through pinball friends in hobby selling to each other before posting to the wild. Trusted seller/buyer exchange, don't have to explain lock down bars were factory installed in some games (hehe), and tire kickers not knowing value of games and thinking they're buying from a garage sale your old speakers.

With that said, this thread could be more active compared to WI/MN and the threads. So let's start some conversations. The holy roman empire was neither holy or roman, begin.....

If anyone has arcade marquees laying around I'd be interested in them. Dudah did me a solid and gave me a few and I'm really digging how they look in the game room. PM me if you have any.

Who's all planning to go to Pinball Expo this year? Hoping to see a strong local turnout to least flip some friendly games against each other.

Quoted from slizzap:

I was thoroughly confused by your post haha. Then I went back and noticed the 2 people that down voted my post for some reason. I guess they're unhappy I'm selling my TAF??

I'm guessing here, but you may be getting down votes for your price versus condition. Game has some wear on playfield. Tough to command premium price with some wear showing. Kudos for good pics.

I'm not price police. I hope you get what you're asking. Just explaining possibly why two down votes. What do I know?

#11470 6 months ago

I'll request the Chicago thread switch the channel on this "pricing" topic for the TAF and move on to another fun topic.

Anyone play Venom and have a review?

Nice.

I can't defend the Bears, sadly. They didn't show up and it's going to be another one of "those years". Fields is still talented, but need coaches to call plays to his strengths. Not freakin screens!! Now you gosh darn done it. Ruined my coffee. I'm rooting for Detroit now to win the NFC crown.

Quoted from robnotto:

Yancy, yeah Gavin had one at Montelo's house on Saturday. First let me say I am biased since Venom is a dream theme for me. We played the pro and the game is super fun, shots are good and the game flows awesome. Rules are pretty refined already and cool risk reward options, especially around multi ball. It is fan layout, but the changing music and call outs when changing characters and progressing through the game was pretty cool. I believe because of the changing music and call outs, that this game is better suited in a home arcade.
YMMV of course.

Thanks for the review. Looking forward to playing a premium at some point in a quiet setting. I still love me super hero themes.

#11484 6 months ago
Quoted from indybru:

Bill , I was able to squeeze a two Venom games at Enterrium. I have no opinion except it was receiving non stop play. Lots of ramps and flow other than that go try it yourself I can't review due to limited play. They also have Pulp Fiction, GF & GTF. I played a lot of Bond premium, I thought it was interesting and didn't get anywhere on the game.
bruce

Bruce fair enough. Another reason for me to get to Enterium besides Pulp fiction. Thanks!

Quoted from HisboyElroy:

I have two 90 degree pivots in my basement stairs, the landings/pivots are just barely big enough to accommodate a folded-up game. I wanted to be able to move games up/down myself so I wound-up installing an electric winch in the ceiling above the top landing. I set the game down on the first landing, pick it up with the winch, then remove the landing and lower the game straight down to the floor onto a dolly. I've used it to move 5 games and so far it's worked well, I'm able to do it myself.

I have a similar winch/rail system to lower games in my basement - inspired by ModCouple. Genius idea he had.

Can't post pics here will see if there is a thread already or start one. Ideas on how to safely moved our prized possessions is invaluable.

Anyone have an email or pinside name for Gavin at Gavin's game service? Filled out his info form on his website, no response. Maybe he is just slammed? Just wanted to ping him another way. Thanks! Dave

Facebook. Gavin is in high demand, has routes, doing work with Stern..... He's been unavailable for at least 3 months if not more from what I can tell.

If Facebook fails and Gavin still is not replying, a few other repair people are more available.

I'm debating selling a few games.

Scared Stiff might be getting listed. I had planned SS and pick up a EHOH to sit next to each other, but I picked up a Stranger Things Premium instead of EHOH. Convince me not to sell SS. This is my second I've owned.

Quoted from Tilt:

For those that are willing to make the journey, I share on facebook open houses occasionally and we have one coming this saturday, ill paste below the facebook post. I have a ton of games set up, ill be unboxing a jaws premium tonight that will be playable this weekend, along with a few other games that are expected to arrive this week.
Time to announce our next open house at our Decatur Illinois warehouse
Saturday, March 2 at 6pm till we quit
Over 90 pinball Machines, and a dozen or so various other games like air hockey, drivers, video games and skeeball.
I dont ask much, be respectful to the games and other attendees, ive never asked someone to leave, but abuse those things and i will. If anyone wants to come a little earlier and help prep things, that would be awesome, just let me know. I can always use help wiping down the games, and last minute tweaks and leveling
We currently have the new Jaws Pro on the floor, and hope to have the premium set up by then. Who knows what other games might arrive by then
This event is FREE, but donations to be able to continue doing this is greatly appreciated. We want to be able to do these more often, but we have to think of the power bills and wear and tear on the games.
Please comment or message if you are coming, just so we can have an idea of how many people to expect. We understand if things change and you cant make it, or if by chance you can now make it, so its not crucial, just helpful
any questions, just send me a pm

Very awesome of you to extend an invite to the community. If you have an event like this in the future and can post in here in addition to Facebook that would be terrific as I know many would love to come out and support.

And for those don't know Tilt, they do a lot for charities as well. I encourage if you go, to make a donation to the help the arcade but also some great people who do give back. Think of it as admission - cool to support each other for allowing us to enjoy the games.

I won't be able to make it this week, but look forward to attending in the future. Have fun!
