Thanks for the info Craig.

We have game #68 (I think?) on route for 7 months and it only needed a few small adjustments. I have been told by the end of the run, they were playing perfect right out of the box, so I assume this brand new one is a well tuned game. Just slap on the legs and get to playing.

I really dont want to sell it but when you are out of room and need some cash, this is the easiest one to list for sale.

lol.

I already regret it...

I really love this game, but when out of space and in need of cash my logical part of the brain tells me this is the easiest to sell, but only since I can play the other one on route just down the street. It is my favorite game to play (along with Full Throttle) that is available locally.

edit: I also regret the inevitable podcast coming from Kaneda where I get yelled at for not listing it at 10k, lol.

I should mention that you do have a couple games of interest so if you have cash plus trades, there is the possibility of working something out

lol.

bought the game over a year ago, so not really a flip the way you rock TeeKee, but I figured you would be proud of me asking market.

likely, but he will probably be disappointed I did not list it for more. He is right, I probably should have listed for 10.5 just to top the previous one.

to answer a few questions>

I am willing to ship and have done so in the past so no issues from this end. Buyer pays all shipping and payment clears before shipping.

For partial trades, games higher on the list would be Bally/Willams B or C listers from my ISO. Things like I500, DH, Dr.Who, BSD, TS, etc...

Well if we are defining things, Teekee buys games with the sole intent of turning them over for a profit in a short time to make a profit. It is a side business for him. Hence the "flip" aspect of what he does.

I bought this AMH over a year ago with the plan to keep and play it and have been an early supporter of Spooky Pinball. I am collector and player. It so happens that things have changed in the past year and since this game is brand new and desirable it is the easiest thing to sell and use the cash elsewhere. In the past year there is now also a different AMH less than 1mile form where I work and live so I get plenty of time on that one for .75 per play.

You can call it a spade if you want, but intent is important to me. I did not buy this with the intent of ever selling it. It so happens in that time that the value has gone up.

Bought it last year, picked it up a few months ago when Spooky got done building it, no room to open it or set it up currently and the other one is on route 1 mile away so easier to store it as it sits while working on other games in my collection.

Wife and I planned on adding a second story for a game room or possibly being in a larger house by now, but not in the dice yet so it has just sat since I picked it up.

Yeah, I feel pretty lucky in that respect.

There is also a GB, RZ, TH, and SMVE all slated to be on route in Madison in the coming months! Exciting times for pinball in Madison area!

If any distributors are reading this, I may be able to work out a trade for a cash plus future game deposit for the next Stern Pro game after GB (supposedly a SW from what I have been told, less interested in Elvira3 if that is next but still a possibility).

If Heighway is reading this and interested in this AMH then we could definately work out something for an Alien.

I like how you think Russ!

good idea!

not a bad idea. I do ocassionally buy Ben a beer.

I am pretty sure Spooky is happy that I supported them early on, purchased 1 and 1/3 AMHs (part owner of the other one on route that is shared so others can check out the great things Spooky are doing), and gave them some money early on when things were getting started. I am guessing they would be happy with the resale value of AMH as they already made their $ on the intitial sale.

a handful of trade offers but nothing has peaked my interest yet.

I500, Dr. Who, and DH are probably higher on the list.

Safe Cracker is also a possibility to come in as a trade.

Willing to work on cash difference a bit if a deal involves a trade I want and better condition game.

partial trades will still get me where I want to be cash wise. I have other pins to sell/have already sold in the past 24hrs (just not on here as this place is the most fun for the high dollar stuff).

oddly enough my investment, is a house. I dont think it is anyone's business, but the opportunity is a second rental property in the exact same neighborhood as the one I bought last July. I was not planning to buy a second rental but the home owner specifically came to me and the price is right. Problem is that it is a cash purchase so I need a bit more to hit my mark. Getting closer and only ~4k away at this point of where I have to be. Any more will just go into the fix up fund.

I know some of you are big pimpers in the stock market, but I like my small investments to be in real hard goods and trying to make nice housing more affordable while also setting up my retirement nicely.

I actually bought it with the full intent of keeping it and playing it. Plans sometimes change. If I bought it to flip, then I would have taken a feather out of teekees cap and waited. Putting it up for sale after the hottest Stern title goes on sale in 3 years is not the best timing if wanting a flip. It will still sell, but if it does not, then I am happy with that also. I am nearing my target with other sales so I would be perfectly fine if this game stays with me and I get the funds elsewhere.

I was thinking about a Bonobo. There is a local dude that has one for sale.

I am open to trades, but only looking for 1 game and the rest to be made up in cash.

I already own a congo, but great call as that being trade worthy. I would be open to getting a 2nd congo in partial trade as I still have someone I know looking to buy a congo outright so it would be an easy 3 way.

just doing like you always tell me teekee, Starting at market price and take offers

last one sold for 9k plus 400 in shipping, so 9200 is even less. I know you are really mad that I did not start right at 9400.

aside: you need to work on your math and double check what the game actually cost originally. hint: addons and sales tax are easy to forget when you do OH math.
