I bought a game from MrBillishere today. It will get the GAP treatment. John Pop and Eric stopped by the shop today as well as Tim Fish. Had a lot of fun talking pinball today
Ive got a Star Wars Episode one, 1400 plays , lightly routed for under a year and sold to a family in 99. Earned a total of $3,300. Cabinet and playfield in exceptional condition, no errors, $2500. monitor crisp and bright. sold as is
i know The guy that bought the Met Premium paid $5k and no taxes. cash out the door. He got a great deal. From the Estate sale description it looked liked it was going to be a auction type bid for the game. Miscommunication, long story short he got a Met Premium under 200 plays for $5K.

I'm, going to shop it out first, Put Led's in it and put on new right side head decal on the game. Upper right flipper is not working and lower left is very weak, so it needs work before I sell it. Going to put new brass legs on it. Don't have a price in mind yet. but when I do I will post it here and in the for sale area. I'll keep you posted Dung
A few more differences on Proto
1. Decal above judge targets say Pick a prize instead of Subway on production
2. Drains shield insert on Production playfield is call Extra Ball Promotion
3. Metal outside lane guides on Proto to the right of right flipper bat and to the left of Left flipper bat
4. Start and extra ball buy in right next to each other on Proto where they are vertical in production
OT: Anyone have interest in a Police trainer, 2 seater final lap or a Vrtua cop. Lady would take a $100.00 each if you wanted them. all are good working condition. she wants them out. I have no interest
I have really nice Data East Time machine. works fine, does have a slight sound issue on the first game ball only once in a while. second ball sound is fine and all other games sound is fine. $1500 cash

Just in on trade. Hobbit LE #24 and rob zombie #21. All extra mods. Lmk if interested. I'll pm price and pics. Both mint condition, with very low plays.
Yes we are retail and yes we have retail pricing. We have never tried to disguise it or hide it and pretty much everyone here knows it. We have 40 machines on the floor and another 30 in the back warehouse. A lot of my clients are family's that want a machine, delivered with white glove service and want the warranty with it. The best part is that we are putting pinball machines in new homes with younger kids, hopefully they buy a pinball machine when they are old enough and keep pinball alive for decades to come.
We also ship all over the US and when we have a damaged machine we file the claim for the customer, which starts at taking pictures of the game as we pack it, box it and as it goes on the truck. This documentation process saves a lot of headache and is time consuming but pays out in the claim.
A lot of Chicago, Wisc, Iowa, Indiana and Michigan Pinsider friends have gotten a lot of good deals, rare games and super clean games from us and not at the retail prices. If they held onto it, they can now sell it for a nice profit too. We spend well over $40,000 on rent, equipment, website, maintenance, Etc, just to keep the business running. And lets not talk about Taxes. Well over the $20,000 mark.
As a distributor we pre book machine 25 LE's , and those that we don't sell we have to come up with the cash to buy the remaining allotment. Now multiply that by 2 pinball manufactures, 3 times a year. We deal with deposits, refunds and a lot of people backing out of deals. It's all part of the business.
I'll list a project here on this thread once in a while to pass along a good deal, that I'll may not get too. Which is why I listed the Flash Gordon. I try not to list the expensive stuff here on Chicago Trader/Seller. Not that many of you can't afford it. Some of you probably already have it at a fraction of the cost.
Thanks to those that support us, you know who you are! I'm not asking for sympathy, just wanted to give the Chicago/Sellers traders a peek under the tent on some of the things it takes to run a business and why some of my games might be higher than other games listed on pinside. Condition is also KEY factor. If we can do a deal that would be great, but if not I'll be open and honest and tell you I can't do it and will try to help you source it.
Thanks

Free Stern side rails this Saturday.
I have a pile of new Stern straight side rails(not botton guards) that are sitting in the shop. You can use them on Data East or replace your damaged Stern side rails. These were taken of new stern games. probably 25 sets.
I also have used glass if you need a sheet or 2. Some have light scratches some very heavy and not worth taking.
Stop by between noon and 3pm this Sat.

I have about 30 sets of new stern pro side rails, not lollipop rails. Free for the taking. I think they fit some Data East games also I have been slowly giving them out. Anyone needs them let me know, stop by the shop and pick them up. Would really like to get rid of all of them.
Funhouse project
Needs flipper mech, needs a cpu and new playfield. Needs translite, Games is rough and going to need a lot of hard work. Can be brought back to life. $2500 obo
Quoted from Trekie:You already know the game is not working. So put your parts list together:
3 flippers kits
3 pop bumpers
Ramp
7 standup targets
Ramp diverter
hard to find talking head parts (Rudy)
2 displays
Electronic Boards
New Play Field
New plastic set
cabinet decals
rubber set
multiple switches
Lamp sockets
plastic posts
and what ever is missing.
Add it up plus tax and shipping.
Depending on your experience, any where from 45 hours to 160 hours of labor.
Better off IMO to seek out a good used game for $4500 to $5000. If you want to learn how to build a pinball machine this is for you.
Flame suit on.
I have no ill will against Mike. I just think his starting point is joke.
First we said its a project. second, we priced it as 2500 obo. Adding up the parts your talking $1750 in new parts maybe a little more maybe a little less. If you refurbished some parts your talking less. CPU, glass, legs, playfield , side rails, translite, switches, targets, plastics DMD, decals, pop bumpers. All said and done you have a refurbished game with a lot of new parts at $4250 to $5000 with your labor. If you offer me $2100 you would be in it for less. I would think you could get $5500 + down the road. If you don't want to do the work then this is not the machine for you and you can buy a used game not refurbished, or buy shopped out for $4500 to $5000 like the guy said.
Some people like to redo games and that's what this is.
Got a Freddy in. Unshopped project. Game is dead on arrival. Glove is all there. Great project to restore. Has playfield wear. $1200 obo.
I have some spare plastics. But I'm retail, not allowed in here. Lol. Let me know what your looking for.
Throwing these out there, as is. Need work. Games are not working or tested but complete and in good shape. Games will need to be shopped out.

What you talking about Willis?
Google and facebook are your friend as it relates to information. Get as much information from the person and most of the time you can find out information on who you are dealing with and verify if a person is real or if it is a scam by searching the web. I do a lot of online business and I come across deals that seem shady, but check out ok. Sorry you got scammed!

I have a unshopped Freddy Kruger. Has playfield wear near flippers. not sure if it works or not. I'll try to plug it in this weekend to give a better discription. $2500 as is
Quoted from Chitownpinball:Cool, so I'll list my shadow at 5k, one pic of the game from far away, and say "plays great, no issues".
When I get flamed for it, I will cite "Running a family is hard work, that you dont understand". I mean, isnt that the same thing? We are all trying to save money.
Im sure you guys are sniping games from this thread that could go to otherwise regular pin collector dudes not looking to make a buck on a flip (or just a hold for a long ass time at a ridiculous price).
I offered him $650. Thats not a bad offer for a game that also, you know nothing about, because all its done is sit. No response.
Also, didnt want to bring this up, but I spoke to Mike about 5 years ago about restoring multiple games for my boss. We had money ready to roll and he decided it wouldnt make him enough money for the work. Thats when I knew I was done with retail. He still posts "restoration services" on his site. OK, what are we restoring? He recommended a crappy company that did shotty work for me on multiple games. I've discussed that here before.
I guess I need to know where the secret forum is that these guys dont know about. This used to be that place, and now its flooded with big business. Great. American. Pinball?
The BEST experiences in my pinball career have been only with non-retail outlets. I'll give a shout out to Hemisphere's because Kurt has always been very honest with me about everything. He sold us 3 NIB games and moved games for me multiple times. Great dude. Would I buy his used games? No. Too much usually. Sorry.
Is there any interest in a non-business thread for trading and selling? My vote is YES.
Chitown.
We are giving you permission to post the email thread where we recommend Kurt from Hemispheres to do the restorations for you at that time that we were too busy. We sent the entire email thread to you. We give you permission to post it! We were polite and nice and tried to help you out. Then when you said Kurt was backed up, you asked for another person in the area and we mentioned Rich Huff, a guy who does restorations in the area. I don't know Rich's work, but he was another guy in the area. As for the Volcano, you offered $650.00 and I probably declined the offer. We do appreciate offers, but we did not accept your offer, because of what we had into the game. Sometimes we can sometimes we can't.
At this time, We appreciate the Chicago pinball community, but will not be posting in the Chicago sellers forum anymore for unshopped games. Those that are looking for unshopped games send me a pm and I will put you on a list. We should be getting in 20 unshopped in the next month and I will not be able to get to all of them. There should be b and c titles in there that I do not want.
If anyone wants to check out our feedback rating and how we treat people it can be found here.
https://pinside.com/pinball/community/pinsiders/gap/feedback
We wish the Chicago Pinball Community the best and see most of your around the shows, at the shop or at our parties.
Thanks and have fun playing pinball.
