I haven't gotten or sold a game in over a year. I am at capacity! I guess my Bowling Queen EM is on the shortlist for sale/trade. I might possibly consider trading my Firepower with CPR playfield too.

Quoted from schudel5:I'm pretty lucky to live in a 'suburb' of Chicago!
Thanks Brad!
I have been to Kzoo 3 times this year, it's not too much further than some of these other N. IL suburbs.
I have some used glass too. I think some pieces are pretty decent. Also a Gottlieb Wide body piece. I'll throw in a pickup bed worth of dirt and clay from my garden. It's all free!!

I'm so ticked at this Bally Wizard that I've been working on that I'm putting it up for sale. Cleaned inside and out, waxed, new rubber, flipper rebuild kit. Has some odd behaviors that I just can't resolve. First EM that has stumped me, but maybe easy for someone else. Playfield is average, cabinet average, backglass near perfect. Asking 600.
Quoted from hoov:Contact Brian Saunders of Pinballs of the Past down in Lerna, IL (south of Decatur). Brian is a Bally em guru. He might have run across your problem before.
I spent another day working on it and fixed the remaining problems. Price is now $800 given that it's clean and working.
Kinda OT, but if anyone needs a 55" 1080p set for their gameroom, playroom, etc I have one for $300. Its a 2007 Samsung LED DLP. 13" deep but sits fine on a cabinet. Figured Id try here before dealing with craigslist nutjobs. PM me if interested.
It's a short throw DLP easily fits on any cabinet and weighs about 50-60lbs. But I remember the BIG box DLPs, I had a 65" and that sucker was huge. I get a new set every 2-3 years this one is nice but has finally gotten to the bottom of the trickledown effect. I will respond to those who PMd with pics when I get home from work.
Neo, tempting if you can do 600 delivered...I should not be buying any more. Hope that offer doesn't sound appealing.
I'm a Sox fan, but Big Hurt is not a White Sox themed game. If anything, it's Frank Thomas in a Reebok ad. Wouldn't mine owning one for awhile, but I'm not paying more than 8-900 for that privledge.
How do estate sales work exactly? I imagine it being like black friday...lined up with the scum of the earth but paying eBay prices.
These seem like they are climbing back up in value, I was getting interested in TAV and Transformers when they were getting down around 3800.
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.
I don't know. I like Gameplan a lot, and 700-800 is all I'd pay for one. There's that other thread where the guy is asking 3k.
Quoted from NightTrain:LOL! I keep popping in here thinking there are some machines for sale....
My Whoa Belly, Big Juicy Ghost Peppers is still available.
+/- cash but will be willing to pay .05% to pinside of any sale. No pics. They are banned.
Any interest in a project mame? Vertical trisync WG monitor in Ms Pac cab, nice CP overlay, spinner, track ball, 4/8 way joystick. 3Ghz Core 2 Duo PC, Arcade VGA, and JPAC. I have been running this machine with various configs for over 10 years. Recently the Hard drive died and rather than rebuild the front end I think I'd rather just have a Mortal Kombat or something dedicated.
Putting some feelers out for possible Cash+trades on my Firepower. CPR playfield and plastics. Cab and Backglass are just OK. Looking for newer Sterns.
Thinking about trading+cash/selling my CPR playfield/plastics Firepower for a Stern Premium. Comes with drop mechs if you want to do that mod. I am estimating it at 2k with decent cab and BG. If anyone is interested, PM me.
Are all Stern games after Avatar still fetching over 4.5k used? For awhile there, in 2013/14, Avengers was getting down to 3.8-4.2k for an LE, and I think Mustang was maybe getting into the low 3s? Its been about 4 years since I bought a game.
Good to know. Seems Avengers has rebounded quite a bit. They were definitely going sub 4.5 for LEs awhile back. If I could find a nice premium in that price range that'd tempt me.
Quoted from LitzDoc:Wow, that place it looks amazing. Chicago is an awesome town. I love going there.
Thank you very much.

Go in the evening when they have both floors open. I get off work at 4 and they don't open until 5 but when they do it's only 1 floor at that time. Logan Arcade is the other one worth your time.
I have a spare that's decent but still a bit scratchy. I think Plainfield Glass made me a custom one for about 40-50 dollars.
Quoted from toyotaboy:Galloping ghost pinball expansion looks like it's ready to open.. They've got both an Alien and Predator
He says it's 2 blocks down, I hope that's closer to Brixies!
What’s that Flipper? There’s a cheap pin on Craigslist? I can wipe it down and resell it for 4x what I paid? Thanks boy!
I'm planning on moving out of state and paring down my collection if the price is right 8). Will probably get some ads up here shortly but the short pin list is: TSPP, Dr. Who, Firepower, Black Knight, GTB Bowling Queen, GTB Target Alpha, and possibly Baby Pacman. Other stuff: Atari Space Duel Cocktail, 83' Chexx Hockey, project Ms Pac Mame cab with Tri-sync CRT.
Quoted from Manimal:Have never played the game, but I love the Target Alpha artwork.....
Bought it for the artwork, but is really a fun drop target game.
Have some parts laying around that could go too. System6 MPU, driverboard, and power supply. Pulled unpopulated Firepower playfield in decent condition
Quoted from catboxer:Bought it for the artwork, but is really a fun drop target game.
Quoted from Chitownpinball:Very nice. Wish this was 10 months ago...
No sh#t that bubble just exploded.
