Bump.

Potential buyers asking for pictures?

John

Couldn't agree more Hilton. Problem is the game is folded, wrapped and standing on end. I'd be more then happy to get pictures posted if someone was seriously interested in purchasing the game but to just see what another Alien Star looks like then it's not worth the hassle at this point, plus space is tight here at the moment. To many games needing a new home.

Come on now fella's there's no need to fight over little old me. I was just stating that hey if there was a serious buyer out there that was looking for Alien Star and didn't want to just add some pictures to his collection (because we all know what an Alien Star looks like) that I could get it set up and send pictures and show him anything he wants. But, if I don't' need to then I wont until that time comes. If it doesn't sell then eventually I'll have to break it down again and put it up in the garage and do it all over again at another time for someone else. Yes I'm feeling old at the moment. If anyone out there is interested in buying this game then send me a private email and I'll post pics. Price wise, I'm not stuck on it obviously but it's one of those hard games to put a price on and I had to start someplace, right? I do have one picture of it already that proves I do own one.

Thanks guys for understanding but still no interest from anyone. Perhaps its the wrong time of the year or the price is to high, who knows? The pinball market is a strange and wonderful place...LOL. All games sell sooner or later, high priced or low priced. I'm not holding out per say but I'm not giving a game away either. Shipping a game is just not worth the hassle and the last two I had shipped here to me to stay in the collection (both very high dollar games and very sought after) I literally couldn't find for sale any place else after years of searching so if I wanted one it had to get shipped......we'll it was a nightmare on both of them. One was damaged beyond repair and the other was lost and I ended up having to go get it myself once it was found. Those are just two examples, I have the worst luck when it comes to shipping anything no matter how hard I make it not to be. Playfields lost forever, games damaged..., you name it. Funny I never had a problem when it came to shipping backglasses though....but that doesn't mean I want to ship those either, back then I did what I had to do to make the sale but things are different now and shipping is just not going to happen again. I might meet someone half way depending on the distance and the circumstances so that is an option I guess.

This Alien Star needs a little TLC but nothing major, a shop job and a couple of switch adjustments, just typical stuff. Yes there is playfield wear but perhaps someday the new playfields will come out and it could be swapped or perhaps someone will like it the way it is? I'm on the list for one and that was back even before I ever owned this game, I just thought it'd be cool to hang it on the wall but if they come through with them and I have it and the game both at the same time I'll offer it with the game.

Sounds like everyone has a different story to tell when it comes to price and condition of there own game, sometimes that's just the way things go. If there is no real interest for a while I'm fine with that and it can sit around here until it does go but like I said, sooner or later they all sell either high priced or not. I've got the CBW and Time Machine for sale as well and no interest there either....., all three are wrapped up and on end sorta out of the way but not out of my way. Heck it's not like I haven't had the basement aisle's plugged up before......, just as need them cleaned out by the first Saturday in November is all...... Worst case is they get stored in the garage. NOTE: The picture below is not games I have for sale but rather how things can get a bit tight down here in a short amount of time.....LOL.
