Hilarious, Pat Hand is not only super not rare, it is one of the least valuable pinball machines out there. But, I guess if you want to sell Pat Hand for that kind of money, you have to play it up a lot!
Talk about Marketing!!!
My CCM Hee-Haw was only 4000 made, it must be super rare.. Oh wait.....it's luck to be worth $300 on a good day..
Got to love CL.
Don't you guys know? Every single pinball machine ever made is either rare, a classic, collectible or an antique. Duh...
Quoted from practicalsteve:I feel the same way about this guy- seems WAY overpriced for such a lame franchise.
Practicalsteve, maybe you are right, but don't forget that
"Comes with the original full size (Colorful vibrant promotional Pinball poster in perfect condition ) and also collectors key ring and toper and all documentation".
Now that really adds to the value...
Quoted from Leeb18509:Don't you guys know? Every single pinball machine ever made is either rare, a classic, collectible or an antique. Duh...
Exactly. Marketing 101......
Quoted from BrianZ:Only 6500 Made!!!!
Quoted from pinmike:6500 is rare huh?Hehe!!
Gee does that make it rarer them my SOF? "2,705 units (approximate)" I don't think so!!!!
ehh I like the back glass on Pat Hand & 2 pops low left PF,
Everyone wants a deal on C-List so sometimes you have to post higher then the price you will let it go for.
here's one from today:
"Good condition. Has been serviced. Does not work at the present time."
What? So are you saying it was serviced sometime since being built in 1981? Really? How about just say, "looks brand new, but not right now".
Quoted from HELLODEADCITY:Everyone wants a deal on C-List so sometimes you have to post higher then the price you will let it go for.
So in this case he just marked up by $500...
perhaps ?
or sentimental reasons like it was his dads or grand dads pin
I know of pinballers who cant let anything go the machines take on a personality and become family
And the CL hits keep coming. Apparently one like this working went for almost $3K!
It's actually a nice machine, but I'm not offering more 200-300 for it.
We might be off by a few 0's.
Quoted from toyotaboy:I would never pay more than $400 for ANY EM machine, period
+1
I completely agree that most CL'ers are on the pipe but I have found some fantastic deals there. I'm in northern Va and CL here is hot. For me it's all about staying on top of it. I have the CL app and when I'm looking to buy I check it every 30 min with saved searches for pinballs in my price range. I found a nice Mata Hari for $200, bought a beautiful Transporter that only needed a fuse for $400 and just yesterday I found a Bally 1971 Double-up bingo pin with extra working backbox and mint backglass for $300 bucks. I think that one is truly considered rare. That being said. For every one of those I find I have to sort through 20 over priced pieces of JUNK. I'm a big fan of CL, what I'm not a big fan of is the weird people I always meet from there. Man are some of them just plain freaks!!!!

+1 You got that right.
Quoted from the_pin_family:I have the CL app
Can u hook me up? Will save me time for looking for an app or writing a script.....
I bought my first (and only) EM on CL and got it for next to nothing.
Really looking for a DMD or SS, but just aint seeing anything here in south texas right now
At the very least, figured i would post the few outragous EM ones I found while searching.
They have the app for both droid and iPhone. The iphone's got a much better one. Don't use the notification option. It won't let you know fast enough, they go fast. Also allofcraigslist.com is nice. It searches every city in every state at the same time.
I looked at one near me two months ago that the seller listed as "very well maintained" that had displays out, loud coil buzzing, flippers so weak none of the ramp shots could be made, paint missing on the playfield, cabinet missing entire strips of wood, broken rubbers. etc... I pointed out all these flaws to him and now i see it relisted again with the same "very well maintained" description. What gives with these people? The machine is also priced 15% above the upper range of values per pinside.
Quoted from GoneFishinLvMsg:I think the price is missing a decimal somewhere:
with this awesome quote
This is a two player game, meaning up to 2 players can play the game
Not a crackhead but someone thinking outside of the "van"
"cash or equal value in pinball machines"
Nice...personally, i would put a pin INSIDE that van!
Another great one:
What the hell, cant even take a picture of the whole machine? I love these people
Quoted from BrianZ:Classic.. Never heard that one.. Will trade car for pinball.
There is a guy on RGP that wants to trade his MM for a saxophone. And no, I'm not joking ...

I love the fact that he has replaced the "rubber bands".
Quoted from JDub1006:I love the fact that he has replaced the "rubber bands".
LOL! Hopefully, he didn't use actual rubber bands.
Quoted from captainadam_21:Who about the super rare game.. Hot Doggin. Only 2k. Best of all, it has sat unplayed for 6 yrs.
6 years is not that long

The Black Hole I'm trying to sell has a SBA coin slot. Maybe I should put that in the ad and double the price?

But you have to cut your proposed price hike in half because my BH has a SBA slot too! LOL!
