I was thinking about selling/ trading a couple of my pins and the wife asked me not to. The problem is she hasn't played more then 5 games on any of the machines in the last 2 years.

Constantly she always says you ain't selling my Fred or in your dreams you'll get rid of my rfm the only one she's ever wanted gone is fun house due to Rudy's creep head but I think that's what makes it cool.damn I need a bigger house.
.
My wife won't let me sell my Corvette. I like the game and all but once I beat it, I have little interest even turning it on. Shame, because I used to play it more than any other in my collection.
That's my Gf and our Totan, I have mixed feelings with the game, I'm a pinball '' player'' and can crush totan every game just about, so I end up not playing it nearly as much as the others, but my Gf freaking Loves this game to the point where she gets upset if I say I'm going to trade or try and sell it for something a little tougher for me, so it stays...
IJ - doubt I would anyway as I like the game unless I found a nicer one. She loves it
Yea, my wife's fav is SS. Had it since 1999 only because of her.
Quoted from Jimmyd044:I just asked her again if I could sell POTC. Nope I like the music but you can rid of the fishy game.
Funny, the game I am never allowed to sell is Fish Tales.

Addams Family for me. The wife says "No, No, No... sell Funhouse, Rudy creeps me out..." 
It might have to go if Maiden comes out. I'll just surprise her.

Most guys have the opposite problem of not being allowed to buy more. Guess its a good thing if she will not allow getting rid of them. Just get another, then another 
etc. Eventually she will have to allow you to sell some
LOL!! 
The fact that we have 45 pins pretty much answers that one doesn't it? Hubby wanted to sell alot of our games, and get down to only having 15 to 20 (so we wouldn't have as many to work on or possibly break down...), but everytime he mentioned 1 to sell, I would nix the idea... Once I work on them and restore them, I have a hard time giving them up!!

Absolutely.She would probably leave me if I ever sold Funhouse.I seriously doubt she would ever speak to me again if I sold BK2K.Other than that it's all good
Same here, Can't sell POTC or Xfiles. Two games I am tired of and would much rather have an EM or Classic game standing in their place.
Yes Pinbot and Hyperpin. She loved anything system 11 really. Also really likes the newer FX2 tables.
I will pick up another Pinbot in CQ quality some day as well as a CQ Flash Gordon.
My wife loves our Bride of Pinbot. I've brought up selling it a number of times over the years, but the answer is always no.

Same boat. Fish Tales is the one she won't let me sell. "Please get rid of any of them you like as long as it doesn't have banjo music that's fine."

Does she have a sister !! No women I have ever dated gave a rats ass about pinball.
Ha ha.. My wife would probably let me unload everything with zero questions asked ! Thank god I could care less=perfect marriage!~SpOoKy

Second that!
She doesn't care if I sell any of "my" pins.
But if I ever thought about selling either of "her" pins (Metallica and Tommy), I'd be in serious trouble.
She says that I have too many pins, but when I tell her that maybe I'll sell _______ or _______, she tells me "you can't sell either one of those".

Quoted from VegasAlleycat:I thought about selling or trading my IM to make room for the Corvette pin I just got but my wife wouldn't let me do it. So, we rearranged my game room and figured out how to squeeze it in without losing the IM. What a great wife!
Your wife saved you from a huuuuuge mistake!
Quoted from Jimmyd044:I was thinking about selling/ trading a couple of my pins and the wife asked me not to.
Yes, I get shot down all the time.
I've tried to move all the "a grade" BW titles on and she won't let me.
Doooooooh
It could be worse. She could ask me to stop buying them.

Yep, I'm not allowed to sell the Judge Dredd. Since we were out of room in the game room, it got booted to her craft room. Its rarely played, but she (and I) both love the art work.
She complains there is no room. BUT I cannot sell any games. She loves them all. Nice to find 'one of the good ones' who loves pinball!
We are both confirmed pinball addicts! I want one of everything!

If you only really want it for the artwork, I recommend you buy an extra translite and have it mounted. Then you still have the artwork but now it is only 1/4" deep.
I think the only other game my wife would have a fit over is LOTR but that is not an issue. Its not going anywhere.
