Did you guys know that TAF hasn't sold under $6,000 in 3 years? I just read that fact on CL.

Anyone sitting on a gameshow playfield? I'm in the market for one locally that is in nice shape.

Thanks

Speaking of cl. This guy with the robocop arcade says best offer but wont budge lower than 450. Exidy price list says 250-400 max. Gimme a break with these people. I dont even want it that bad but its now become a game to show how wrong he is. I need help.

I think Kruzman has one?

I am looking for a Seawitch.

I have a nice players condition Pool Sharks for sale

asking 1200

Fresh white rubber
LED's throughout GI and inserts, all new incandescent flashers installed
Manual included
Cab is real good shape, head has some minor dings
New black legs
Just went through the game, fixed the aux driver board, the cpu and a switch matrix issue, everything is working great now!
Still needs a new shark mouth wire.... but the coil works as it should.

Full disclosure
Playfield in good shape but some inserts are missing artwork
has 2 cracked plastics, rt sling has a small chip and sharkeys plastic on lt return wire form has a cracked piece missing, these do not affect gameplay, they are just cosmetic.

Fun system 11 game!

Anyone sitting on a Bad Cats playfield?

Not a pinball, but thought I would throw this out there in case anyone wanted a beautiful piece for their game room. If I sold it, I would use the money for pinball anyway.....so I thought I would see if there was any interest in a trade(s). It's one of my high-end digger (crane) restorations.

That is freaking beautiful!

If anyone has a High Speed and/or Grand Lizard playfield PM me.

Gorgeous! What do you value something like that at?

Wow! What an awesome centerpiece for any room of the house. Nicely done! I'd be curious about pricing on this unless you prefer to go to PM?

I would just say it is worth less than a new Stern, but more than a Rollergames....lol. In all reality, they bring what they bring....I have sold them all of the way from 2K to 10K, and it depends on the market at the time.

If you want to get specific, then PM me. Too many price police here on either side of the aisle. lol

Good luck on the GoFundMe DOS pinball thingy. I've often thought of starting my own website called "GoFundYourself" where you can basically tell anyone who sends you one of these a reply link to my site: "hey, go fund yourself..."

You did a great job on this. Do you fabricate any parts for these? I have one that is missing the original step plate for the depth. I rigged one up out of plexy but its not like the original. I have a template, just don't work with metal too often.

god damn that thing looks beautiful. I'd love to own that, but I do not have the space for it at this time.

You don't have space for anything....but you always seem to find some anyway.

Hate these requests, but I'm trying to figure out logistics on how to get a grail game moved from Morton Grove to S Barrington (around tomorrow at 6pm). No stairs required, but the machine will need to be wrapped up and loaded in your car/truck and just dropped off in my parents garage in Chicago. I'll pay for gas, time, and effort. Let me know!!

that's true, but my overflow people are getting filled up as well, and I need to save those spots for the remaining 4 zacs I need to complete my set.

Yes! Heavy on info, light on 'tainment. My parents had an '87 Riviera when I hit driving age. That screen is burned into my memory. Seemed pretty futuristic at the time.

I find parts and fabricate when I have to. I have also been known to build an example out of wood and then send it off to be sand cast. Whatever it takes. Send me a pic of what you are talking about and I can check my parts inventory. If you are talking about what I think you are talking about, they are very prone to breakage and I fabricate them to keep that from happening.

and it was touch sensitive. Pretty state of the art. In my opinion it was the last nice looking riviera they had. then it went to plastic bumpers from then on out.

Fyi, as a follow up...I asked clown head if he had an inflatable clown body for sale....

Response...

"Sold last week"

Lmao....

How bad do you want to rid yourself of that Rollergames

Anyone notice there just haven't been many top 100 games for sale in the last year? I check this thread every once in a while, see around 80 posts and maybe 1 new game for sale. Maybe its just me.

I think people are just selling in other spots.

Where at? Do you think its because of the new Pinside for-sale policy(not to speak ill of it)?

Copied from other thread

Good afternoon,
I am reaching out to you today as your local Jersey Jack Pinball (JJP) distributor with an offer to help you get these amazing machines (Wizard of Oz, The Hobbit, Dialed In!) into your locations for as cheap as possible. I am willing to cut a substantial price from the msrp in trade for a little marketing help from you.
Since JJP has asked us not to show written offer for less than msrp, you will have to call me to discuss, but i can tell you that they are the lowest you will find.
To answer some of the questions you will have, here are the terms.
* Machine must stay on location and working for a minimum of 1 year (can be moved from location to location, but must be active)
* Operator must send in weekly / monthly location earnings with a breakdown of each machine in the location in cash terms or total plays (if it is a place that is on a cover charge and free game play) (pinball and non pinball)
* Operator must keep a KingPin Games postcard / business card on the apron of each JJP machine for the term of one year for marketing purposes.
* Operator must provide service / maintenance logs for each JJP machine to help with service issues
I am also going to offer a credit of $100 per machine sold for each JJP machine sold to the private home if they state they played it on said location. This credit can then be used for your next JJP purchase through KingPin Games.
Let me know if you are interested in looking further into this offer.
If not, we do have over 800 machines in stock. Brand NEW Coast to Coast cranes, used darts, redemption, drivers, videos, etc, etc. We are also looking to purchase machines that are just taking up space in your warehouse.
We are located about 15 minutes from Wisconsin Dells in North Freedom, WI.
let me know if you have any questions
I picked these 4 states as i feel that i can provide adequate service in the field if needed. If you are in a state further away, give me a call and we can discuss other possibilities.

Just wanted to say that we bought our Hobbit for route form KingPin and Chris has been spectaculor to work with! Excellent customer service! He is also an actuall pinhead and gives back and supports the community onf a regular basis.

If anyone deserves your game dollars it is Chris! Plain and simple the guy busts his hump to take multiple games to TPF, MGC, and is a BIG supporter of the largest charity event in the region, Mad Rollin Pinball.

Simply put, the guys gives back in a big way and we are lucky to have him in the community. It is not just a business like some of the other distros. It is a passion and a life long family operation.

Even though you buying a game means more competition for us please support Chris when you do it!

I'm on the fence about selling my TZ. Been eyeing one of the newer Stern tables for awhile. What's holding me back is they seem harder to find in the area and it's in pretty nice shape (has new decals). Plus I spent months getting the thing dialed in and it's playing perfectly now.

If I put up an ad in the marketplace I'll make a note to drop you a PM.

Still looking for a new machine, and I'm expanding my search into the $3000-$3500 range. Let me know what you have! Check my wish list to get a better idea of what I'm looking for.

Thanks!

I guess it would depend on when you bought it. If you're like me, and you've had your game for a while, and you wouldn't want to buy a game at today's prices then you have to consider that if you sell it you'll likely never own it again. That may be a weird way to look at it but that's how I look at it when I sell one of my "top flight" games. I sold LOTR not too long ago and figured I'd probably never own it again as I wouldn't pay what they go for now.

It seems like you'd be able to get a TZ again if you really wanted one but you'd have to be willing to pay the price. So, the bottom line is, are you willing to pay what TZs sell for these days to get it back if you wanted it?

Triple strike up for sale now with a backglass. Cleaned, rubbered, flipper rebuilt. Fully working. $650

OMG! I just saw this on Chicago CL. I spit my lunch I laughed so hard.

nice

That damn clown ad has recently made it to the South Bend Craigslist too...

Has anybody tried to contact the guy on Craigslist with TAF in Volo with success? I have tried a dozen times with no luck. Has anyone looked at it? He's had it on for a week now but just won't answer me.

I believe he has been trying to sell this off and on for a few years? Need to inspect his stuff very carefully.

He doesn't even answer the emails lol. Not going to sell it that way.

I have, at the time it was listed for $5,400. Honestly, for me if I wanted to add something I would try either get Tron pro unmodded or slightly modded to Xmen pro, Got pro . If I don't like probably easy to sell ( I have a room problem and too many keepers) . That's just where I'm at. However my wife always liked TAF, and my friend has b/w classics was interested in getting TAF down the road. My friend has just his job back after 15 months. He is beyond picky, but knows the game and I don't . My thought was I would look at it to buy it, play it with the thought that he would buy down the road from me. He said he wanted to keep looking so we passed. It seemed like a decent value, and if it was a pin I really had interest in I probably would have offered to buy it. If it worked out for us both it would have been a win-win.

Great story.....but..... how about the TAF? What did it look like?

Seriously. That story had me on the edge of my seat! I was waiting for the twist ending and then...nothing. Just a bunch of broken sentences and something about his wife digging TAF. I feel used. I want my money back.

Well he did say it looks like a decent value for the price, probably just didn't want to bore us with silly details!

I have a completely refurbished DE star wars, tons new parts 3900.00...Paul 574 361 9561

Sorry guys, , if TAF was on my wishlist, given the price and condition I would have bought it. It had a few mechanical issues, nothing that couldn't be fixed. Given the age I thought the play field was acceptable as well as the cabinet. If someone sees it for 5k it should be gone.

The worst thing I saw on the play field is the tip of the lightning bolt by power was missing a piece of the red plastic. Maybe one quarter of an inch. A couple of target had different colors then they should but pretty minor.

I like how the town is Nuthouse. LOL

ummmm, missing a piece of the playfield insert is a huge deal. very very expensive and time consuming fix. I would not pay over 3500 for a TAF with a chunk of insert missing.

When I spoke to him today he had told me he used to be a collector and had several popular titles. When he acquired TAF it was placed and played in his garage as it was a good player and had been routed so he wasn't overly concerned about it being out there. He also has a NGG for sale.

Hey guys...I'm looking for a populated WPC playfield. Top side condition doesn't matter at all as I'm looking to repurpose parts from the underside. Four of us here in St. Charles are building a homebrew pin and we are trying to stay within a budget. Any help is appreciated! Please PM me with what you have, your location, and your price. Thanks!
