Anyone here end up with the pin and bowler from Arvada on yesterdays CL?

I was curious as to what condition they were in and how much they went for.

I would like a bowler myself, but I think I would like the full size.

Thanks!

hmmms very interesting list,... and Arvada you say...also very interesting...

The thing which I found strange if I recall the ad correctly was that it didn't list the name of the auction company or have dates and times of the auction and/or preview period. A lot of the time auction houses will have links to their site with more information and pictures. It seemed odd to me that there wasn't more info available.

I'm disappointed I hoped that it was legit.

If I remember right there is also sales tax on top of the price.

You are probably right, unfortunately.

People can try to sell their machines for whatever price they want. However, this business about buying something in dark is ridiculous. To me this is going beyond a shady business deal and right into sleazy territory. Even the most notorious used car salesman lets you at least see the car!!

From what we have to go on so far I think that it is worth it.
The fact that the topper is outstanding is nice.
In general they take a lot of abuse and are missing a lot of the time.

I said that I wanted a real hobbit to along with the machine.
I heard that was a super premium LE vault-ish option.

Did anyone pick up the Slick Chick or the Arcade games from the moving sale?

I have to agree.
It's a title I would like to own.
But I was thinking more in the 600 - 800 range.
Maybe as much as 1k for a nice example.

I am looking for a couple of original arcade games if anyone is interested in parting with them or has leads to a possible source.
I can pick them up at the Showdown or arrange something else.

Crazy Climber
Boot Hill
Sea Wolf, Sea Wolf 2

PMs are welcome.
Thanks

Hello,

If anyone comes across any GP (Grand Products, Inc) 301/Bulls Eye Conversion Pieces or parts, backglass, decals, ect.

Let me know,

Thanks

The one constant is people's nature.

Did anyone here get the CL, El Dorado?
The seller informed me I was second on the list.

I would be interested in it for $2000 +/- how it looks in person.
I think it would be a nice paring with Xenon

Hello,

Did anyone from this group snag that CL Spectrum that popped up yesterday?
I saw it two hours in but no reply and now the add has been removed.
So I assume it was sold or wasn't legit in the first place
I'm curious to know what the story was.

I think that there have been three Spectrums on CL in relatively recent times.
There is the one you mention.

The second one, which I believe is different is:
denver.craigslist.org link

The third one was up for only a short time yesterday afternoon on CL
I can't post pics of it here (due to the uploading of imagines being disabled for this sub-forum) and the add was removed so I can't post the link, but here is what it said.

"Spectrum Pinball - $2400 (Denver)
image 3 of 3

Nice Bally Spectrum Pinball arcade game. Fully working and absolutely beautiful. Super rare game very few left in the world. Has some LED, recently shopped and waxed. Took me 2 years to achieve Super Star status. Fun but hard game that makes you think. Modeled after Mastermind board game from 1970's. Less than a 1000 made. $2400 obo"

It was in the price range and condition I was looking for so I was excited to see it but evidently I was too late to the party.
Or it was just someone messing about, as will happen on CL from time to time

Evidently, someone from Nebraska is also seeking a Theatre of Magic

The short details inside the posting made by chuckle so maybe not serious

If serious will probably be edited soon, too bad I can't post a snippet of it.

Did anyone here end up with this one?
I'm curious to see what it went for and what the condition was like.

Anyone here pick up the CL Spectrum for a song and dance?

I was on it in less than 30 minutes, but it's gone! Whew~!

Someone got a deal

Granted it is only one picture but from description it seems to be in excellent condition.
Plastics are always broken from the examples I have seen over the years.
The CL poster is right in that they are difficult to move due to their unique design and shape.
It is a great party game, people love the head to head aspect!
It is in my opinion, unplayable as a single player game

It'll be interesting to see how much interest this niche game attracts.

Did anyone end up with the CL, flipped Ripley's BION?

I was interested in the lighted flippers mod.
I haven't seen one of those in person.
It seems like it would have a cool look.

Chicken Shift, was a fun and different sort of a game to play I also really liked the Omega Race Cockpit, that was fun and I hadn't played it in a cockpit format before. The Tempest colours are very bright and vivid, it really pops. As far as pins go, it seems like the Arduino is a viable solution. I'm glad to see innovations like that.

Looking for a Safe Cracker or a Dungeons & Dragons. A players condition or project is preferred. Not looking for a high end machine. Any leads are appreciated. Thanks
