I remember this resto thread . Looks great ! Don't know if you will but, hope you get what your asking for it.

Your work looks incredible! Great job.

Should 1 shooter be red and 1 blue or both red?

Factory is black on both.

This was a labor of love, I hope the grand kids enjoy it. GLWS

Great looking game! I'd take this over the 10K QS currently for sale that you have to put together yourself. Someone will love having this machine.

We've missed ya Boob! Good luck buddy this is gorgeous!

Yeah, good to see you boobie ol buddy...

One of the best looking Fun Houses I have seen. Nice Game.

The right buyer will come along. There are only so many in this condition and even less people willing to put that much time into a game. Looks awesome.

Exactly. The trend to touch and pump players examples on the backs of full restore listings like this one is ridiculous.
Nice work boob, glws!

Funhouse is one of the few pins my wife actually enjoys playing. I need one of these one day.

Outta my price range but a damn fine looking resto and machine! Good job Beez!

The Funhouse key chain is a nice touch. GLWS

Grats!

I see sale is pending. I would be the right buyer, but I already have one in similar condition. Your work looks fantastic! Too bad the grandkids won’t get to enjoy it.

Looks amazing! Did it sell? I see ad was renewed.

I would replace those Duracell batteries with Lithium AA's

That deposit is yours. That's what a deposit is.

Keep the deposit. Serious people have no problems putting down a deposit.

Yup keep the deposit.
Buyer shouldnt put a deposit down unless they are serious about buying the game or ok with losing it.

Game looks amazing!!!!!

I'd never put a deposit down for anything expecting that I would ever get it back. It either becomes the "initial payment" on my purchase or the cost of the time I bought while the item was being held for me. But either way, that money is gone.

Keep the deposit. That’s your money.

Deposit is yours.

In the flakes defense, it should be discussed prior to giving a deposit whether or not it’s refundable.

$300 should be a minimum hold, non refundable. Someone else may have been ready to buy during those 7 weeks, and may have long since bought something else.

LED job looks fantastic. Is the bottom ridge of the cabinet painted or did you curl the decals under ?

This. That's why they don't get the deposit back. They flaked out, so the deposit is yours. That's what a deposit is for. I faced a similar thing a couple years ago where the buyer changed their mind.

Now, if you were the one who reneged on the deal, then the deposit would go back to the potential buyer. But in this case, they reneged on the deal, so they don't get the deposit back.

That's a gorgeous well done job. My father always told me it only takes one buyer however you have a big problem on your hands. You're now into the "A" games price range and FH isnt considered an 'A" game. If I were you I'd look for someone to trade a couple of their games for your one or you're going to have to realize labor of love holds no value unless it was done by a professional like HEP. Give it a documented HUO price tag and I'm certain it will sell. And the person that backed out has no right to a refund. Best of luck to you!

It's still one of the most sought after game titles. Whenever one pops up for sale, it doesn't take long before it gets sold. Nice examples are going for about (and over) $4k now.

HEP is not the only one who does high-end restorations. There are several others who also do nice work who aren't necessarily quite as well known, or necessarily do work for hire.

If you take the time to go through the documented restoration thread, it's apparent that a lot of time, effort, and attention to detail went into it. And the results speak for themselves. It's as good as any high-end restoration that I've seen.

You’re “A” jerk. Nice backhanded compliment!

Send me the deposit. Your payment our friendship is almost due

Who backed out? That's a crap move to not only string you along for 7 weeks, go buy another game, but then have the gall and audacity to ask for a deposit back. Hell with him.

PM if you're not comfortable saying. I want to know who to avoid both in buying from and selling to. I dont want to have to deal with that.

Fake news. HEP is the most popular but he's not the only one that can do a top notch restoration on an entire game. At least 5-10 other people, can do just as good of a restoration as HEP.

Its the truth, sorry if you're offended. Not really

HEP was just one example used. An example, no where did I say he was the only game in town. You guys are cranky keyboard warriors.

I'll have to politely disagree about FH being one of the highly sought after titles. I've seen a great many of them sit not being sold nor have they commanded a great deal of money mainly (guessing) because everyone knows how bad the insert lifting is common/expected and just ruins the play experience.

So my only point meant with no disrespect to the OP is if a person has $8500, are they likely going to but a FH or will they choose an (A) game like MM or TAF or even go buy a new JJP or Stern title? As I said earlier it does only take one buyer and I sincerely wish the OP best of luck with the sale! You did a fantastic job!

Oh, OK then cool.

Great game, so much work done it’s worth it. Great guy selling. That’s all that needs to be said.

Suppose someone already has all if the A-list titles.

An exceptional funhouse is hard to come by.

I think its worth the price posted.

Keep the deposit.
He had his chance. Not once, but twice? Ya, it’s yours.
Unless he developed cancer or something and needed the money to save his life, then I’d be ok with that. But, he bought another game? No way, it’s all yours now.

1) Gorgeous game. You do beautiful work. Easily one of the nicest FH pins I have ever seen.

2) That deposit is yours to keep. That is literally the whole point of a deposit. You lost other sales and you owe him nothing.

3) Please name the person that backed out of the deal. It's not right of them.

4) This is absolutely an "A" tier game. I sold one a few months ago within 24 hours of the listing. I had over 50 people interested. That's not a typo.

Boob, your work speaks for itself. I agree it is the nicest ive seen, McCune would be proud. Someone will be getting one badass pin. Hope to see you post more. Sometimes you need a pin break. I took one last year and restored 6 arcades. Been back for a couple of months and feel refreshed.
Harley D.

And I completely respect that, given the reasoning you provided in your PM. Sounds like I have nothing to worry about in terms of potential future deals with him. Beautiful game, Randy. Good to see you here again. Was starting to wonder where you went : )!

I have no idea what the value is on this game, but what i do know is its a great looking game, and a shit load of time and $ was spent....GLWTS

I feel like there is a secret behind the scenes group with boob, vid, and all the other members in hiding just watching us. Watching from above as we burn this place to the ground, just shaking their heads.
