Quoted from whthrs166:I have always used STI. Shipped the machine on the legs. No Pallet. My theory; a pallet invites a fork lift, a forklift invite disaster...
I was at STI's location downtown Denver last year for a screw up and they were moving a pinball machine on a forklift. FYI
Quoted from KJL:I was at STI's location downtown Denver last year for a screw up and they were moving a pinball machine on a forklift. FYI
Was the game on a pallet? They have moved probably 30 games for me on the legs. Never had an issue. I used their White Glove Service. They also have a station to station service which requires a Pallet.
A few games on the chopping block:
Wheel of Fortune, Dialed In, Indiana Jones (Stern). First two are in great shape. Indiana Jones has some pretty solid wear around the magnet.
Haven't done my homework yet on pricing but I'm usually buying/selling for fair prices. Message me if you're interested.
Might be interested in trades, might not. Primarily interested in stuff that would earn well on location (that I don't already have). I really dig TNA, but worried it'll just be an average earner.
Added over 5 years ago:Edit: the Dialed In is a Standard edition.
Added over 5 years ago:Edit: Wheel of Fortune is sold. It went to The Flipside.

Well, something has to be average...
Anyone willing to part with a Demolition Man? I do live in California and I’d be ok with shipping. PM me if interested and thanks.
Quoted from DNO:Well, something has to be average...
I consider all of my games to be above average.
Quoted from ryanwanger:I really dig TNA, but worried it'll just be an average earner.
Ironically, at Blizzard the game closest to average in earnings is America's Most Haunted....

Posted my Iron Maiden for trade.

Your games are all great!
Have my JM up for sale:
Quoted from Lethal_Inc:Who wants to sell me a White Water?
Good Choice! I miss mine. Let me know when you get one Yuri , want to come over and play it.
Quoted from Lethal_Inc:Who wants to sell me a White Water?
Ugh, I sold mine for 2K about 12 years ago. Still pissed I did that. Those were the days, I posted it for 2500 and not a single reply.
Whitewater was my first purchase. I thought it would be my only game. I paid $3700 and it damn near gave me a heart attack to spend that kind of money on such a frivolous thing. Meanwhile, 6 games later...
Quoted from scootie:My brother has a Hang Glider collecting dust in the basement, but its pretty rough. Last time I looked at it, playfield wear and back glass flaking.
Picked up the game today, thanks for helping me find it! The cabinet is nice and the playfield actually cleaned up fairly well, it will be a real nice game with a repo backglass!
Quoted from ryanwanger:Only one?!?
Ok maybe two. I mean who really wants/needs two time warps??
Quoted from ebrenner87:Picked up the game today, thanks for helping me find it! The cabinet is nice and the playfield actually cleaned up fairly well, it will be a real nice game with a repo backglass!
Glad it worked out. I had considered it a while back, but I don't have the skills to get an EM functional again. Glad it found a good home.
Quoted from bemmett:Does anyone in CO have an Alien pinball?
Quoted from Waldo:I’m thinking of selling my Alien
Still available?
I remmebet that now, I thnk I had reached out and didn't hear back at the time, thanks for the reminder
I have 10 extra sheets of standard size pinball glass. $40 per sheet cash and carry.
Glass is SOLD!
Thanks
I'm thinning out the herd due to a car wreck 4 years ago and have decided to sell my HUO MM. I'm the original owner of the game and it has never been routed and not really played that much considering how old it is. It's in perfect shape, has no mods, original ROMs, but I do have a subwoofer I bought years ago for the game but never installed. I replaced the rings (first time the rings were replaced) and cleaned the playfield a few years ago before loaning the playfield to a local collector that built his own MM and used my playfield to dupe parts for his game. Right now the game has only 954 total plays. We pretty much only played the game when grandkids would come over for holidays although my wife, son, and I played it the most when I first got the game in 1997.
Added over 5 years ago: Added over 5 years ago:Sorry folks but the game sold to the first person that looked at it. Everyone's happy now.

No, it was head down and the forks were carrying it with legs on. Was pretty wobbly. I'll never forget, it was my game I was there to pickup.

Wow. At least two HUO MMs in Colorado. I thought mine had low plays at just over 2100.
For anyone looking at a MM, nothing beats an original. Those that say they can’t tell the difference between MM and MMR have probably never played an original in great condition. GLWS.

Wow No shit! I would have had a Heart Attack. I can't imagine them being lucky enough to have carried all of the games I had them ship for me like that and not have a major disaster! Or maybe they have really good fork lift operators!
The "white glove service" from STI you think you're paying for is bullshit. I had a pick-up from STI for a TOM recently. Not only did they completely leave me hanging on the day they scheduled but when they showed up the next day, 2 people. To move a pinball machine. One old lady who was about 5 ft. tall and some big kid who looked like it was his 2nd day on the job. They had no shrink wrap, no way to move it themselves, and no clue. I had to show them everything and help load it into the truck myself. FOR CLOSE TO $500 and only 12 hours away!
I say go U-ship like my buddy does. Half the price and the same service.
I found that STI's service varies from state to state. Their service here in Denver was great for me. Maybe that has changed. They will not do any prep in some places and very little in others. If you are going to get the most out of a shipping company you have to do the game prep not them. I always blanketed the games and tightly wrapped them with shrink. All the STI had to do was move the machine. Sometimes they would just pick the thing up with two people other times they had a dolly.
Sti has gone down hill never again!! Took 3 weeks to get a game from Ca. To Denver charged me 440.. Bullshit .Michelle Bianca doesn't care anymore.. I'll call u back. She never did... There are other company's who will take care of these boxes we take pride in.. Pinn-on..

Guys I have had bad stories. One was on mm original they did not wrap and the worst was on HOU Lotr and Star Trek the Next Generation. The later two were being shipped from North Carolina. The seller called me and said they want to just strap these to the truck without wrapping. I got into it with them. The seller wrapped them for them as they refused. I paid for two pinball machines and box for the topper and all his old parts to get shipped plus the extra insurance. Called STI that day to complain. Games arrived but damage to STTNG. Box was missing with manuals, keys, toppers and parts. I immediately filed a claim as I bought the insurance from them. After 14 months they denied my claim and offered a shipping refund on the box only they lost. No replacement value etc. The insurance is a scam as it is through them with no intent to pay unless the whole truck is compley destroyed. My local STI rep tried to help also to no avail. I now buy outside insurance and STI is last choice.
I'm new to the metro Denver area. Any advice on who to hire for minor repairs and shopping? peakpinball.com is always the first Google hit, but that doesn't mean much...

The guys over at Game Exchange are super awesome. Never had to hire them for repairs though, so not sure about that.

I've had the Game Exchange guys fix a couple of Bally power supplies for me (changing out fried bridge rectifiers and rewiring a bad wire job on a Rottendog rectifier PCB to the transformer). They charge about $75/hour and in the three supplies they've done for me, it was never more than an hour + parts. One supply was turned around in 24hrs, the other took a few days (their backlog of work must've low those times).

Randy is great, you shouldn't hesitate to use him.
Everyone who mentioned Game Exchange described scenarios in which they took things into the shop to get them fixed. That's not always possible. Do they do house calls also? I'm curious.
Are there people locally who shop out games as a side business? (I'm not in the market...just wondering since the request was "minor repairs and shopping").

I do a little repair work on the side, for EMs only though. Or, I can teach you to do it.
