I dragged my TSPP box into the hayloft 11 years ago... (why?---I'm not sure), but it hasn't held up too well.
Yep. Mines in the attic, who knows why. Guess it'll come in handy if i ever have to ship it some day.
I saved my Black Knight box and after 34 years it is still looking good.
Anyone have an older box than this one?
Quoted from Ed209:Nope. I make it into a proper fort and let the kid trash it.
That's what I do. They don't care about the pin but had a blast with the box. We could have a cheap family hobby if I could be happy with the box. Ha
Quoted from Wolfmarsh:Why save the box? Seems like unnecessary rat food.
Might be worth something
Have you ever seen them for sale on craigslist? Every now and then I see a post for a box for a couple hundred bucks, not sure if its a joke or not?

Its only a joke until someone buys it… lets just say I know of a CC box that sold for $250 with all the packing material a few years ago.

They will buy the box so they can claim they have had it since new and its HUO.
I wanted to save mine, but when my wife saw it she told me 'no way that big a$$ box is going to stay in the garage' so no.

I was offered 250 for my BK box so there are people that will buy them.
Quoted from Kkuoppamaki:I wanted to save mine, but when my wife saw it she told me 'no way that big a$$ box is going to stay in the garage' so no.
I had a wife like that, the key word here is had.
I traded up to an LE.
Quoted from j_m_:what exactly does an LE wife look like? something like this
No, that is like the one I divorced, LEs are brunettes with smaller tits and a bigger brain.
Quoted from tracelifter:LEs are brunettes with smaller tits and a bigger brain.
No, those are called keepers.
Quoted from Arcade:No, we do not save the boxes. But we did use our last box as a sign for our last pinball tournament and house party. Everyone liked the idea and immediately new they were at the right house.
House? That photo leads one to believe you live on a 15 acre estate with beachfront property....
Quoted from cheesewhisperer:House? That photo leads one to believe you live on a 15 acre estate with beachfront property....
Perhaps river front, but beach front in Beaumont I don't know about that.
Quoted from RobT:I'd like to see her box.
or at least be stuck in a box with her… a FH box… yes definitely a FH box.
definitely not SS
Quoted from fiberdude120:They will buy the box so they can claim they have had it since new and its HUO.
That is why I didn't sell mine.
Quoted from cheesewhisperer:House? That photo leads one to believe you live on a 15 acre estate with beachfront property....
Funny.
The Property has been in my family since the early 1900's
No Beach and we are about 3 or 4 miles from the River.
It is awesome that the town built up around us and now we have private area in the center of town yet it remains a bit isolated.
Great for big pinball parties. And I am sure one will be coming up after Christmas.
Last big one was October 11th.
