Quoted from vdojaq:It's a pinball forum, not the Macy's Men's Department.
Then where do I pay for this fancy tie? Need an answer NOW.

Jesse is a good dude. I picked up a pin from him late in the evening and he was kind enough to make sure my route didn't take me through the wonderful nightlife of Gary!
Quoted from vdojaq:Oh man, that is not the scenic route you want to take at all!
Nothing wrong with a little sightseeing while you have a few grand in your pocket. I'm sure I could've stopped and asked for the grand tour.

Quoted from vdojaq:I hate the toys on this one. I think they ruin the flow.
They should have made them bigger. You can barely see them. 
Quoted from gatordad:Kind of derails the local sale or preference thing if you ask me, if its posted in the market section as well.
Pic's should be allowed in any thread as long as they are apropriate and tasteful and on topic.
I really like pinside, but this is "over moderation" and an unnecessary attempt to cash in, in my opinion.
I've voluntaraly donated to pinside in the past but boy oh boy, this is something that I disagree with.
If they don't sell locally then I'm sure that the ad will hit the market soon as the seller deems fit.
It's probably in response to those who cross-post their items for sale in three or four different regions, each post having 10 full-size pictures, rather than simply linking to a picture hosting site where they keep all of their pictures. Hopefully, it makes the regional threads more to the point. "I have stuff, here's the marketplace ad link".
Quoted from robin:Are you referring to the voluntary heart donation? Or the ~0.5% sales fee when successfully selling a game via our Marketplace? I'm confused what exactly you consider a "money grab" here.
Hey, I'm open to suggestions and looking forward to your thread with ideas on how this site can run without any budget.
I like enabling the forum discussion option on sales threads, but my current Twilight Zone thread (and another TZ for sale thread by Saveleaningtower) are absolute cesspools of long-time members trolling or going completely off-topic and diverting attention onto themselves. It's like their way of rebelling against the system. If this is what $35 gets me, I'll pass and just turn off all discussion in the future.

Quoted from CaptainNeo:so if the playfield has wear at the scoops, with some fade on the cabinet and somones name carved in the side. You think that, that's only worth $800 savings?
I'd take it over some over-priced Indy 500, Shadow, Congo, or Funhouse that someone claims is in great shape.

Someone a few months back (probably not from Chicago?) was desperately trying to find a Space Jam on Pinside and couldn't find one for even twice that price. No idea who that was...but I remember it for being so random.
Edit: it was this guy...sell it to him!

Quoted from AMBoggs:I would be willing to chip in for a collection to buy that thing so that ad will disappear.
I realize saving my search as "pinball -clown" is easier, but I shouldn't have to.

I've bought games in most of the midwest now. Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio and now Iowa.
You haven't lived until you've bought a game from Kentucky.

One thing not understood by the typical collector who says "retail is bad, they snipe games that would otherwise go to hobbyists" is that there are many more games that would never be available to collectors if it weren't for retailers. I used to help at a local shop and know of dozens of cold calls they received to come pick up a game because they didn't want to deal with the general public--the no-show's, low-balling, time-wasting, etc. that a Facebook or Craigslist ad would draw. Did the retailer get an amazing price? Sure. Did they pass along a reasonable price to a collector? As much as I could reasonably expect them to, once all overhead associated with the trip to pick up the game was figured. I know of a few of the games that ended up being owned by Pinsiders, so to that extent, everyone was happy.
Quoted from tbaum:Thanks! It looked close, but the back seat console made it too short. Going to have to wait until they have a minivan for me to rent (knowing I could have had an Iron Maiden: Legacy of the Beast (Pro) in my house this weekend was a bit crushing)
Rent a pickup truck from Enterprise, get the orange 4 pack of ratchet straps from Harbor Freight and a decent tarp/cover. Much better than messing with fitting it into a van, unless you just get a cargo van which is also fairly simple.

Moving some games around to make room for new titles coming. Listed a Black Hole and Haunted House both HUO and extremely nice. Flexible (not bend over flexible) to local cash buyers of interest.
Of the two, which do you like better?

How 'bout this at Hemisphere Amusements:
IN RESTORATION - ALMOST COMPLETE! - Bally Who Dunnit Red Board Prototype - HUO. Appears to be one of the very first if not the first WPC 95 games. Who Dunnit was originally WPC but this game is a red board WPC 95 board set. This is possibly a one of one game. Contact us for more information, or a shipping quote. Just arrived Pictures here. Remember these are fresh off the truck and not touched. They are only to show how nice this game is. This game will be beautiful! Restoration is almost complete. More pictures to follow and will be added to the link after we finish the restoration. $7199.00
