What a list of games.......I will buy your IM, so that is the one I think you should sell.

TAF, RFM, POTC and XM would be the ones I'd sell (in that order).

I am likely going to sell/trade my DW sometime soon, love the game but it has been in my lineup for nearly the longest of any game now. Sometimes you just gotta move on. Too many great games to try and enjoy. I couldn't even start to rank that collection, it is all about what is fun to you. DW was one of my favorites for a long time but I am sure not many would share that sentiment especially among my other games.

With that being said you let me know when you want to trade me one of your games for that.

Thin out the fan layout games.

Might be able to get a BBB with some of those games.

What do you play the least? What do your wife/kids/guests play the least? What can you easily find again if you want it (TAF)? What has risen in price so much that it's tempting to sell to cash in?

RFM
AFM
TAF
Funhouse
POTC

Well, here are the ones I got rid of myself...lol

AFM- You have MM & MB which are essentially the same games but better...and SM which is similar but better...and RFM if you need some martian humor (and I think it's a superior game anyway)

IM- You already have a ton of fan games, and Tron LE for the quick 'n dirty ass-kicking

BDK- I find this game to be time consuming and monotonous...when I had it, I found myself just wanting to play LOTR instead. If I was gonna spend a lot of time on one game, LOTR is far more engaging.

POTC- I dunno, I've been kinda jonesing to play this again...but it does get old quick. It's different though...I think it has a place in your collection....are you bored of it? Then you'll have your answer.

SC - I've never had it, but I don't like it...so - F this game lol

Of those I would sell the Batman and the pin2000

Batman is OK, but the crane is a one trick pony

Nice collection.

I had MB, MM, and AFM all at the same time. Like rarehero, I decided one had to go. They are all very similar. For me, AFM is way better than MB or MM. MB went. Keep you AFM. SM is similar but the third flipper really I proves upon it even further. Definitely keep the SM.

Potc - very different and unique. In a decent sized collection I'd keep it

SC - different, fun, but not great. If this takes room of a regular machine I'd sell it. I have one because it fits in a spot where no pin could go otherwise.

TAF - this game is horrible. Awful. Sell it, give it away, or just put it outside.

LOTR/BDK - There is something about Gomez games that I like. But they are all a long chore. I say sell one of the two. It's odd. I'm on my second BDK and second LOTR. And maybe my third TF.

RFM - I say sell. Fun but easy to beat and like other Gomez games can be a chore.

When I was faced with this decision, room expansion was the answer.

MB, AFM, MM are your 3 most similar games and all have pretty high price points. I think MB is the easiest of the 3 so I would sell it (WTFDave is looking for one if you decide to).

I actually like all three of those games better than BDK or XMLE and it appears at the current trend the sooner you dump XMLE, the better chance of you not losing $.

You should make a required package sale of MB and XMLE, then your bundle discount is really just the loss you would currently take on XMLE (assuming you bought NIB). You will also likely get someone on the fence about either game to buy the bundle and only have to deal with one sale and one shipping (saves the buyer on shipping since it seems shipping 2 games does not cost mush more than 1).

good luck and please keep SC for a few more years till I have some extra $ and can buy it.

Wtf. You talk like xmen le is in some sort of downward spiral. It's not.

I have no sentiment for any game so my unbiased list based on my experience

1. BDK
2. POTC
3. RFM w/SWE1 kit
4. TAF
5. Funhouse

IJ, RFM, BDK, POTC, LOTR.

(Only game in your list I haven't played is XMEN.)

Damn that's a nice collection.

I'm assuming this is a space issue and not a cash grab...cuz that would change my list. A agree with the others saying MB, MM and AFM are similar..but in a large collection..I think all three are fine. If you only had like 5 machines...then that would have to change.

My list for what it's worth

TAF
Indiana Jones (Williams)
TRON LE
Funhouse
BDK
POTC
MM,MB,AFM (your least favorite..the 'other' 2 would end up at the very bottom)
IM
STTNG
RFM w/SWE1 kit
SS
SC
LOTR
SM
WOZ (on order)
Xmen LE
MM,MB,AFM

If i were you, I would keep the games that I and the people that actually play your games like the most.

JMHO.
I was basing this off current trend of quite a few poping up for less than they were bought for and they are still relatively new.

Here's the 4 I would dump:

Scared Stiff: It is shallow and boring after you complete it 2 or 3 times in one game.
RFM: Although a technical feat and super cool, the game itself is really only humorous to me and never gets going beyond amusing.
STTNG: I want to like it but I really do not like this game. GREAT series on TV usually makes for bad pinball. Modes, more modes, combo, combo, blah-blah... Been on my hate list for years.
XMEN: Seems to have been rushed out the Stern door... Seems unfinished at this point.

My friend traded his HUO Spiderman for 4 games made before 1981 and a swear I have a lot more fun at his place playing those 4 pins than I ever did with Spiderman. Just something to consider.

Try something made before 1986... Based on your collection you may like Fathom or even a classic System 11 like Whirlwind, Earthshaker or Taxi.

seriously awesome collection of choice games Billy Boy.. I really need to get up by you soon before you unload 5 of those beasts.

Opinions schminions, Dave is right, sell what gets the least amount of play. Also consider family and friends, that is part of pinball. I keep some games I dislike, only because family plays them alot.

Heh. Harsh. But I agree.

Your collections is pretty much my "would like to own someday" list.

Ha! I just sold my RFM, POTC, but can't part with my XM quite yet :-p

Ha! Then why do you have it listed for sale?!

That's a tough call, Bill. It sounds like you're struggling with the same issue that a lot of other collectors are. We only have a finite amount of space, and yet Stern keeps pumping out desirable games. It seems you can never have enough room in this hobby. If you have space for 20, you want 50. If you have space for 50, you want 100.

If it makes your decision any easier, you can always come over and play my SC, LOTR and STTNG.

I'd boot the RFM, TAF, and Funhouse.

And the dining room table.

100% interested in the Safecracker. So I'd say sell that one.

WTF is wrong with you guys.

I wouldn't sell any of those games, very nice line-up. Instead I think that you should add some early SS games (classics) and some EM's to your collection

If you definitely need to get rid of 5 games, my order would be: BDK, STNG, RFM, POTC, SM. These games are OK to play, but not maybe in the same level than rest of the games in your collection IMHO.

AFM, MB, MM, IJ and SM

You could then go out and buy yourself a brand new Camaro SS with the proceeds. You'll have much more fun driving that than playing pinball, trust me. At least until you lose your license.

I would start here, if your just thinning the herd seems silly to do the dump MM for cash for new pins, but the following games would free up room, give you some cash, and I really don't think I would miss them if I had your collection.

RFM w/SWE1 kit
TAF
POTC
Indiana Jones (Williams)

I would agree, but its not 'Awful' just not worth holding on to IMO, it was fun to have in the pin room for a few months.

What? You mean the part about us not liking everything that you like?

Top 5 to sell? Condition being equal, other than woz: WOZ, RFM, SC, LOTR, and STTNG.

What! That would be...futile. Come on, you know you can't reason with "those" kinds of people!

Based on the fact that some are obviously keepers to you, may I suggest you provide us with an abbreviated list of games that are not on the keeper list/on the keeper list. It may provide more useful feedback/ opinions if you really want to narrow it down to a few more specific titles to possibly part with.

I still vote for build a bigger game room.

That's might kind of you, i may have to take you up on that someday!

Since i now have a horse in this race, I'd get rid of AFM SS BDK RFM & IJ.
