Quoted from OilGuy:ey guys, I am looking at buying a WOZ RR from a distributor and have only bought from JJ (GEX) who does not carry JJP. Could anyone direct me to a good distributor who makes shipping to Colorado easy and who may have the best pricing? Thanks.
Give Kurt at Hemisheres Amusements 630-792-8910 a call. I bought my game through him and he not only got me a phenomenal deal, but plenty of support after the sale. Great guy to buy from.

Quoted from Boondocker:Who is the new craigslist seller in Dacono?
Some good quotes:
"I do repair in site for people that tip, ain't cheap so don't be CHEAP , if you tip the guy that bring u a hamburger and you don't tip your pinball tech you don't need to call me"
"For the fagglipps that's flagging my swords of fury add I want to thank you , while u where flagging my add and I was re listing it , it sold today , this is what's happen when you try to fuck with me and my karma world , I'll rip your fucking asshole apart son ! Thanks again for the sale karma Too bad you don't have the balls to call or see me in the eye fool
You will find freaks in the dark corners of this hobby. Heck some times you don't even have to look. I find similarities with the needle issue on the 16th street mall.

Hey Guys there is a dude that this acquiring pics of games on DCL and trying to scam folks with the pics as a legitimate sale.
His handle is Phillip Gold. If you get an email from him trash it. Check out thread "Gold Scam In Denver" for details on him and what he is doing.

Quoted from Mr68:appreciate your question but I'm not sure how to answer. I feel I'm at a crossroad in my life I need to reinvent myself.
Yes, I'm strongly considering leaving the hobby, no I won't be leaving completely but then again, maybe I will. Clear as mud right?
I just feel it's time for me to downsize and as my collection gets smaller, I'll evaluate whether to stay or go.
Anything you see of mine for sale now or up coming will be in excellent condition to HUO to collectors quality. Some of my games I have owned for well over a decade with very low mileage. My prices are rarely set in stone and I'm always glad to negotiate with local Pinsiders. Feel free to come kick the tires and chat.
Kim
Keeping Lebowski? I did the same thing at the beginning of this year Kim. I fully intended to sell em all! (17) Got down to the last two and couldnt do it! I kept SS HUO and MM. Now with your CC and recently added AFMR LE Im back in it! 
Quoted from Zaquar:Will take good care of the ones that moved down to my basement Scott!
How is that WOZRR?

Quoted from Zaquar:Definitely a keeper if you have room....deciding how many points to bet on the fight purse after you're the pub champ is a cool feature I wasn't expecting
CP is one of the most unique pinball games every designed. I think it's cool that the game allows you to cheat by being able to knock out a boxer with a Smart Punch! Collecting Smart Punches will allow a less than stellar pinball player (me) to defeat the later boxers to get to the championship bouts. Then once you start betting your points the real fun begins! The game is a must for a bar-cade IMHO. The only drawback to this game is that most people do not know how to play it.
Quoted from sethi_i:I saw his ad in December and decided the same thing. For less than $1000 more I got a new one with color DMD.
Understood, I am sure that was the right move for you. However, there have been a lot of people wanting an original instead of a remake and they will pay that. It seems some folks don't want the remake new or otherwise and prefer the original because they believe that the originals are better games and will hold their long term value better than the remakes. 
Quoted from Bendit:Yeah, well, AFMre is a beauty. I'd opt for the remake in this case.
Yeah I did too! Can't beat that LE. 
Quoted from mountaingamer:Wow - I wonder how many sellers respond to all the “wanted huo games still in production” adds you see on Denver cl??? That kind of crap clogs up cL imho.
What I have experienced is most of the "Wanted To Buy" ads are people that want to buy but don't want to pay anything. I found myself thinking "why doesn't he just buy the one listed" 
Quoted from RobKnapp:I have my reasons on both accounts. Personal attacks on my profile photo in jest or through PM I have recently received .Yes a Colorado pinside member actually sent me a PM with a negative critique on my profile photo really blew my mind on how insensitive and inconsiderate this individual was. And to then thumbs up is stupid and petty.And not kind or called for. Really . Who cares. I realize it is kind of self absorbed & absurd. I do not care it is me. My personalty . I came back from the brink of (death) from addiction . I should not even be alive . Some one "Up there like me ".Thank the lord. My photo is testament to my sobriety and my physique at age 50 to get my life together and I am damn proud of my self and not afraid to declare it to the world. I do not appreciate your negativity bias and lack of support guys . This forum bums me out. As I am a sensitive individual .
For the record, I PMd him with an apology. I was not aware he had a WTB ad. I also deleted my post.

Quoted from ebrenner87:So props to Dan!
No Kidding! Just talking to him about the show at memory lane makes me think he is one in a million for what he does to put that show on every year. From what I have heard around the country at what can happen to these shows once the people that put them on decide they are done, we need to be really thankful for Dan and what he does. This show would most likely be dead if he were to decide he is done....

Quoted from EricHadley:I dropped it to 9950
Hey Mike you are going to have to be patient with that one. The price you have on it now it will sell but your going to have to leave up for awhile. The two high end Addams I sold off DCL I had to wait a few months but the buyers were both out of state. Believe it or not a lot of people from other states are watching DCL. I also had to price it and stick with that price. I turned away a bunch of tire kickers on those. So just be patient man it will go.

Bought my first game at GEX also... But it was way before JJ. I bought a Cpt Fantastic from those guys in 1995. Came back in a month or so and bought a Stern Galaxy. Sometimes it is hard to put a price on an invaluable service that a good local dealer can provide!

Sale times in Denver vary for different reasons. If you have a high profile game and you want top dollar for it you usually have to wait. What people need to remember that there are lots of folks in other states that look at the Denver pinball market too. I have sold many high profile (A Titles) on DCL to guys in other states for my asking price. They have no problem driving for 2 days to get that game they want.

Quoted from Jgaltr56:Anyone have a recommendation for a shipping company that will pick up and provide a pallet? I've already contacted Michelle at Beltman, just not sure what the options are and I'd rather not ship legs on.
Thanks!
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...

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.
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 KJL: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 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!
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.

Quoted from Its_me_aj:I kinda want a fishtales or diner
For FT I had to go to Atlanta to get a decent one. I didn't actually go there but had it shipped. It shows up on Thursday. The closest one is the one in Spring TX but no topper. Now all I need is a White Water. Anyone Anyone

I had a bad experience with the AFMLE. The playfields in remakes are just not the quality I want in a collector game. Routing no problem. I bought one of the first ones to come out and the pf sucked. Clear coat was ribbed and looked terrible.
Quoted from Onwallst:The remake is beautiful but not the same game.
The game play is what matters most. The eye candy is nice but it does not make up for clunky game play. The mechs in the remake seem really loud also. On my AFMrLE, I finally got the machine to launch the ball for the Super Skill Shot but it never really did it smoothly and consistently.
Quoted from Waldo:Shoot me a PM and we can schedule a time to come
Sent a buddy after your White Water!

Quoted from pinmister:Searching for a game I am looking for and noticed Pinball Universe has decided to call it quits? I recently had seen a Truckstop they had on their website and I was going to contact them this week to inquire about it. Looks like they sold off everything to the Pinball Company? Wish the locals could of had an opportunity to snatch some up? Anyway after 25 years and this last year's shitshow-I understand
Thanks for posting this. Dennis was a bit eccentric but I still bought games from him. I will miss him out there supporting the hobby. I always loved his website.
