Just a friendly reminder. This thread was created "Before we buy or sell out of state try this club first." While it's cool to remind us of another thread that was created, how about some home town preference. 
Quoted from danczaz:Yeah yeah... Was in a hurry ... I agree
Sorry, that was not intended just at you but also others in this thread. It's been going on for awhile. Your post just triggered my friendly reminder.
Good luck on your sale.
Quoted from MiamiRedSkin:Thinking of switching up my line-up and putting creature on the chopping block. Would really like to work out a trade (+/- cash either side). Only interested in B/W or Stern Games. I need to take better pictures - below is the machine the day I brought her home without even cleaning her up. Since then, game has been cleaned, full pinballbulbs LED kit added, Power Driver board sent out to K's arcade for full bullet-proofing. Hologram is extremely green but there is a small pencil-eraser size splash of solder on his left armpit. Pinbits hologram lamp upgrade as well as upgraded speakers. Ramps look in great condition without any cracks and plastics look fantastic. Would probably value the game around $4,750

I'd love to become a member of the White Water club! I'm looking for a project or routed machine that I can take the time and put some work into bringing another game back from the brink. Willing to travel a bit if the right deal comes along.
Let me know what you have or if you know of any leads.
Quoted from toyotaboy:yea it's really filling up fast.. my favorite is the "WTB ads are ripoffs"
Exactly, some sort of pin turf war going on.
Quoted from PunishersLEMC:Looking to trade some very nice handguns towards pins, let me know what you have.. Il, WI, or MN
Wilson Combat Ultralight carry compact 45 cap, Sig one of a kind P226 ported 9mm, HK VP9, 10MM RIA, etc
{Gun photos removed per forum rules, please PM seller for more information.}
Just moved back to IL from MN and have no pins... What do you have available, need my fix...
your in MN? Go over to Lloyds, he will satisfy your fix until you start buying again.
note: yes I know MN is big and he could be anywhere, but since 99% of the states population resides in Minneapolis, i'm assuming he's near there. 
Quoted from CaptainNeo:your in MN?
guess you missed the first sentence in his post . . .

I didn't miss it, I misread it.
in that case, go to gameworks. It's right in your back yard and they usually have 6 pins.

We prefer club 257, I think it was close to a dozen pins, and not nearly as crazy as gameworks.
Artman shared a tip, get a pinball card that charges per play (otherwise you activate your card for time).
Don't bother with gameworks. Go to level 257 and play in the league. The games at gameworks are beat up. Lookup the level 257 league on facebook.

I thought Gameworks took the pinball machines out. No?
gameworks used to have nice machines? They do downhill that much? never heard of club 257. They new?
Logans Hardware has always been the best variety and quality in Chitown. Has that changed since Barron is no longer there?
Quoted from netcivil:We prefer club 257
Level 257? If so, awesome place (and not just for the pins)!

Darn. I really need to start reading the whole thread before I post 
Quoted from Crashnburn:You can also go to Underground Retrocade in West Dundee, IL. they are up to fourteen pins now.

Been there.. Thanks looking to acquire some
Been to SS billiards also - Lloyd is a good friend of mine..
Quoted from c508:Level 257? If so, awesome place (and not just for the pins)!
yes, my bad, Level 257. Been wanting to go to headquarters beercade sometime, too, but we always have the kids when we go to Chicago, so that's a bit tricky.
But yeah, level 257 is really cool, we haven't bowled there yet, and even with pinball games as short as mine, $15/hour is a bit steep. If you could 'pause' the timer and get like a 4 hour card you could re-use, that would be sweet. Artman here in pinside had told me about a pinball card they have, but I've never looked into it, where they just charge you so much per game.

check out logans the next time you are down in chicago. BEST place for pinball. Leave the kids at home and do some drinking with heidi and I

Looks like we missed the boat a little. I blame Neo. 
If you are just playing Pinball at Level 257 you can get a 20$ pay per play card . I think games are 75 cents with the pay per play card, might be a dollar. Monday nights you can get a card for 10 dollars and play anything all night.
If anyone has a Hook for sale or know of one that may be for sale soon please let me know. I would really like to find one for my son.
Thanks

Post a WTB ad on craigslist Chicago... One just sold for $700 and most likely a flipper got it so you might be able to get it.
Quoted from waldo34:played a Sega Outrun at MGC and thought it would be fun to add one to the room. Please let me know if you have one to sell (need stand up version).
I swore a saw a caberet on CL not long ago.. they are out there, I would KLOV.
Quoted from waldo34:Off topic but played a Sega Outrun at MGC and thought it would be fun to add one to the room. Please let me know if you have one to sell (need stand up version).

Anyone looking for a pretty nice F14? I would trade it + cash (on my side of course) for a Whirlwind or something else that peaks my interest
Quoted from PunishersLEMC:Anyone interested in trading pins - Have Bally/williams Truck Stop for trade, plays awesome
Playfield great shape, no errors.. Fun, challenging game
Would love a Maverick or pool shark , sharkys shootout, or ?
is that the one that was in Elgin?
I would trade but dont have anything you are asking for. If you want to just sell it then LMK.

Hello
Quoted from PunishersLEMC:It is a fun game - If I could find something with a better theme for my GF i would trade.. She is just getting into pinball and enjoying it..Play field is great all mar still, plays well. If anyone has a pin to trade pm me please
I like the theme (my pops was a trucker for years) but theme does not matter to me all that much.
I would be looking just because it would fit in with my other 6803 games if you want to sell for what you picked it up for then I am interested in buying.

Not available
Quoted from PunishersLEMC:I like the theme and it plays great, GF not a huge fan of the theme. So if I can find a theme she enjoys it is win win..
