This guy is one of those foreign scams. I have been trying to stay on top of flagging his listings hoping that he would become frustrated and move on to some other suckers.

I created a gmail account to look into him. He claims he is in the military and is stuck in a base in Nebraska. If you send your name and address, he will have ebay contact you with a bill that you can pay. He then provides a number you can call to contact Ebay that is clearly not ebay. I assume when you call the number it will claim to be ebay and instruct you how to wire money to them. All of his listings are in the $2000 dollar range, even the restored mustangs and other ridiculous postings. I assume there is a limit on transferring money.

If anyone knows how to report this guy, I would love to know. He is a disgrace for claiming to be US Military. If he is actual military somehow, he should be dishonorably discharged or court martialed for running annoying scams that waste our time.

He must think arcade and pinball collectors are suckers since he makes sure to include those words in each of his listings. I'd like to have a sledgehammer party with him.

Someone is selling a F14 Tomcat on Craigslist for $2700 HUO. Anyone want to chime in on whether that is a fair price?

Anyone out there have a lady sharpshooter?

I'm getting Target Alpha ready to list. Just a few small adjustments left.

FYI for buyers

I just got back from Denver where I picked up an Old Chicago from Juke Joint Johnnies. The lady that owns the machines was very nice. We were able to work out a lower price before hand. Even though I was late arriving, she was very accommodating. She let me open the machine up and look through everything before I bought it.

I thought some of their prices were pretty high for unshopped machines. I may have gotten lucky or perhaps all of the machines are in really nice condition. It was clear from the dust on the playfield glass that the machines have been sitting for quite some time. When I looked inside though, everything was shiny. The playfield and plastics were in great shape. The backglass is perfect as near as I could tell even after taking it out and inspecting the back.

Could be some good deals there if there is a machine you are looking for. Perhaps not much room to fix and flip, but the one I got is definitely a keeper.

Aaron

I think I need to retract some of my previous comments. The Lady was nice. I contacted them about another machine and the guy who answers e-mails wasn't very friendly at all. He said they are selling the machines for $500 and their profit on each machine is only $100. If that is true, wow, too bad for them.

Does anyone have a Sorcerer they are looking to sell? I have a Silver Slugger to trade and/or can do cash.

thanks,

That guy wants $1700. I would like to find one at a more reasonable cost. Condition isn't a huge factor. I just want a player.

I agree with this. The only game that I liked of his was Bally Speakeasy. All of the games were very overpriced for the condition they were in. At that price I expected him to have a spotless showroom and pristine games. I don't think he does anything to the games he buys. He just sets them up and tries to sell them for a lot. Most of his games were not at the commercial site, they were in his home, so you needed an appointment to see them.

very disappointing. I avoid unless there is a chance he has something I've been looking for desperately.

Does anyone have a Game Plan Lady Sharpshooter Cocktail pinball? Has anyone ever seen one? How about Gottlieb Robo-war or Williams Argosy?

They actually have power. They don't allow you to plug in though. I bought a pin that didn't have keys. She let me plug in my drill and drill out the lock to get a look inside.

Most of what is left is not great quality.

I'd wait for the prices to come down more before jumping on anything they have left.

I bought three machines from that montana lot at different times. I put one together and am very happy. they other two are waiting for time.

The fees don't sound so bad to me. I pay 9%-10% on ebay and another 3%-6% through pay pal to sell there. So far all of the games I have bought and sold are under the $3000 level, so I guess it doesn't even really affect me. I appreciate this community and hope that people continue to post here.

I have a full plastic set and a perfect backglass for a Bally Future Spa if anyone is interested.

Does anyone have a two level playfield game for sale?

Does anyone know where I could find a Gottlieb Close Encounters backglass?

is anyone here the one with the high speed on Craigslist? The price seems pretty high. Is that price anywhere close to actual value? I'd be tempted to sell or trade at part of that value.

I am looking to buy a Stern Nine Ball or a Williams Stellar Wars if anyone has one or knows where to find one.

Anyone have a beat up flight 2000 for sale?

I spoke with a couple of guys about shipping with Fastenal. I contacted them at the request of a buyer. The local office was very helpful. They said they have pallets available at their office. I watched a video of a guy putting his machine on a pallet. I usually transport machines in my van. I anticipated transporting my machine to my local Fastenal and then strapping it onto the pallet at the store.

Their prices seem reasonable. I believe it is between $200 to $250 for store to store transport. They couldn't help me in this case though because they don't accept shipments into California, only out.

I may try them the next time I ship a machine.

Just finished another restoration. 1972 Gottlieb World Series

I'll probably have a set of plastics available soon as well.

When you trade you know you are getting what you want for what you are willing to give up. I've had some great trades where both parties were happy. Sometimes I can trade something nice and working for something beat up and not working. If I'm okay making repairs or living with lower condition and the other party isn't, it can work out. Most times, cash is king and trades don't work.

Here are some gameplay videos

I am currently trying to reduce the size of my collection. I have some bills to pay and hopes for saving towards a new machine. Let me know if you are interested in any of the following machines.

1984 Williams Time Fantasy
1984 Williams Laser Cue
1965 Williams Alpine Club
1979 Bally Future Spa converted to WWF Wrestling Superstars
1976 Williams Blue Chip
1983 Game Plan Sharpshooter II (new artwork and in woodrail cabinet)
1979 Williams Stellar Wars (waiting for a new board)
1980 Williams Firepower converted to drop targets (working on boards)

I am interested in eventually acquiring Williams No Good Gofers, Stern Star Trek Pro, Stern Walking Dead, or Stern CSI. I'd be willing to trade multiple titles towards one of these games.

I will of course make a donation to Pinside if any of these titles sell through Pinside.

Selling my converted Sharpshooter II, Alpine Club, Blue Chip, my Future Spa converted to WWF Wrestling Superstars, and a Firepower project machine already converted to drop targets.

Looking to move them soon. Willing to listen to offers for all or part or trades.

looking for a local Star Trek Pro for sale if anyone has any leads. Prefer HUO

Thanks,
Aaron

i have a bally widebody playfield glass if anyone is interested.

If anyone is interested, I have a project Laser cue for sale for $900. Otherwise I'm going to part it out this weekend. works 85% Artwork on playfield and backglass ruined.

i get that parting out a working machine is a no-no, but when no one wants to buy it, got to do something to get some money back.
