Adams is so correct on that statement!

As far as flipping pins, I remember the wrath of the Price Police I used to get, even when I had the retail space and bought and sold a lot to keep Pincades open.
More power to whoever does it to make a buck in this hobby, BUT don't tell some one its yours then sell it to someone else for a few more dollars!!!!!!!!! then you become a di23head to others.

As far as snagging pins may the fastest person get them!!!!!!LOL

Everybody knows everybody in this hobby one way or another, if you screw some one it will come back to haunt you eventually!!!

NOW back to our regular scheduled whats for sale or trade!!!!

Lol, I needed a laugh this morning dirtbag. This *flipper* doesn't own a vehicle that can transport machines. My only vehicle is a Miata. Also I live in a town house without a garage. Anyone who has dealt with me knows you have to carry the machine around a building to get it through the back door. Every trade or purchase has to be planned long in advance so I can borrow a vehicle and get help moving it inside. Not really conducive to last minute deals found through craigslist, but keep trolling dirtbag.

And you sit back and say its all pure profit. What about custom designed plastic protectors? Do you think they just appear out of thin air? What about custom designed replacement parts? Home made ramps? Do you have any real idea or do you just like to pull numbers out of the air? There are a number of modders out there that build things because of passion, not profit and you just crap all over them.

As for flippers there are plenty of them that just buy games off craigslist cheap, do nothing, and then repost them for more.

So defensive! I wonder why?

Duplicate

Well your first statement should have been this clear in the first place. It should have read "some" mods are 10X profit. Thanks for clearing that up. My time is worth just as much for making my mod as yours is for touching up and clearing pf's...but I understand yours is more time consuming and messy.

Why are you trying to start an argument with a statement like that, there's no call for it.

Very well said J.T.!

I know you and I have raced that clock on a few occasions. Got lucky on a couple when sellers kept their word after they got off the phone with you!!!

Lol, You two guys are the reason I gave up on checking CL for games a long time ago. Seemed like JA flooding the board with for retail for-sale and wtb ads and Vdojaq was picking up every fairly priced game in under 45 seconds. It's all good though, I am a lot happier now that Im out of the mass acquisition phase.

Wow I can't believe how many winers are on here worrying about someone making a buck. Someone makes money big deal. You like to get a paycheck where you work don't you? For someone to make money it has to sell,so if you don't like the price don't buy it. That's about as simple as it gets. When all else fails call the waaaaambulance.

There you go, WAS!

I have a new business to concentrate on now, do not have the time to run all over hell for the deals anymore. I have sold off a lot of my stuff and will be more or less a non factor around CL finds for quite a while.

Plus, I now have machines at home and at my automotive shop, best of both worlds.

So bummed. I saw that there were 24 updates since last night and actually thought someone might be trading/selling a game...

Yeah, so back on track...I'm still looking to sell my Strange Science. Freshly shopped and in great shape with a 100% working topper and a new main ramp. PM me if interested.

Here you go, rearranging words and making your own assumptions again. When did I ever say Mods are pure profit? Pure profit means, 100% profit, without any cost to make. Of course there is a cost to make. 10X's profit is not pure profit. Of course you still have a little overhead with initial cost.

And again, you have to be corrected, because I never said all Mods are all profit. I stated that making mods is more profitable with a hell of a lot less work, than going to go pick up games and try to move them. Again you assume and try to fit in means that never were said.

Some do buy games on craigslist cheap and try to flip them without touching them, but most of the time, your still lucky to double your money.

But on the same token. There are moders out there, that make some cheap half assed mod, and charge 20X's what it should be. So there are 2 sides to the spectrum.

when making statements I would assume people would know it doesn't mean every single incident would be true. Unless stated, that every single mod..or all of them or something on those lines. I'm sure there are some flippers that can make 10X profit on a game. i'm sure there are moders that barely break even. It can happen. But a majority of the time, it's easier to make money with mods (easier to sell, dont' have to drive and haul a heavy ass game around and usually can be mass produced once made), than it is to buy and sell games (especially if you shop them out, tweek them out, fix them 100% before selling).

Just posted an IJ for local trade.

Never assume anything when on a board, statements are taken at face value. Say what you mean and mean what you say.

This is a for sale/trade thread. If you want to talk about mods then open a new thread.

I have a lead on a nice F14 from a family friend that is moving and needs it gone. Not sure if I want to pick it up .. and if I did, I would want to use it as trade bait. Anyone looking for one? Would like to potentially trade for a Black Knight 2000, Fish Tales, WCS .. or whatever. Willing to add cash

WTB: Metallica Premium

WTB: Southpark

if someone wanted all 3

Travel Time
Strange Science
Escape from the Lost World.

I'll let the triple pack go for $2300. All 3 have newer rubber, and play 100%, boards all clean, displays crisp and nice.

Listed a Rocky & Bullwinkle.

Just a reminder to everyone in the area that I have both a ROM burner and a rivet press. I'm happy to offer both services for free to all local pinheads.

Anyone have any suggestions for a local guy who does nice powder coating? Also what should I expect to pay?

Check with Matt over at Back Alley Creations. I'm not sure what he charges, but he's a good dude that does excellent work.

I had him do a ramp for me, I think it was around $40

I will second that comment, Does Awesome work

Thx for the suggestion. I have contacted Matt.

Matt dresses really well too!

WWWEEEEIIIIRRRDDDOOOO!!!!!!

How about an Easter Sunday deal for my Chicago friends or anyone else who is close enough to make a drive to Naperville? I bought this Keeney Bowl-O-Rama machine from Brian downstate a few months back, I paid $550 for the machine. It is a small ball bowler with gutters, which is rare and it looks good. It is not working 100%, so some time will need to be invested to get it where it needs to be. The ball raising motor is good, it comes with a number of spare parts and paperwork. It was blowing a fuse for Brian and I have literally put no time into it. I am willing to work with anyone who can quickly come and pickup the machine (tomorrow would be great). As the space where I planned to set it up is now to be turned into a living space for my father on short notice, so I will readily admit I'd like the machine gone ASAP. Feel free to make an offer and we can go from there. The attached pictures are of the machine and here are some more I took after I got it home:

the Strange science, escape from lost world and travel time have been spoken for.

Wish that bowler had flash on it. I'd snag it up. it's pretty much exactly like mine except yours has gutters.

Big bump for a great seller! Deal with confidence. You won't find a better guy than Brad.

The bowler would look cool in someone's gameroom. Looks to be a pretty rare item to boot.

I would love to help you out Brad, I just don't have the space for that. Someone will jump on it, looks sweet.

the bowler is great, I sure wish I had the space.

Thanks for all the positive comments guys, it is absolutely appreciated. I also have a very nice Class of 1981 arcade game, just in case anyone might one of those.
