Quoted from Saveleaningtower:Can you imagine what the humidity is doing to those games?
No humidity. Rio's perfect. And so is your Scared Stiff.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:I also would have accepted "Detroit."
Easy brother... keep the negativity south of the border. Motown is coming back - didn't you hear? 
GLWTS - what a beautiful SS. 
Selling a HEP game is like selling a beautifully restored car, you just are not going to get out every last $ that you paid; only a matter of how much of a hit you are willing to take. Been there, done that with cars and unless it is rare, you will take a hit! Having said that, being the one having the work done is all part of the experience as you make the decision on exactly what you want done. So, a fresh restore makes it your own, a restore done earlier gets you the game faster and at a reduced cost.

Yeah. That's why I slapped 13500 obro. I've had a few offers but I need a little more to finalize a deal.
My experience with HEP games is your best shot to get most if your money back comes in the first 6-10 months and you can even get more than you paid if you want to sell it as soon as you bring it home as there are those who "must have it now" and are willing to pay! I could never bring my self to let one go like that; was tempted once but I kept the game for 3 years then took a 30% hit when I sold it. They are like news cars in a way, drive it out if the showroom and you drop 10-15% right off the bat! Now having said all that, I will get another game restored as I love the process and am just amazed at the work HEP does!
Ha hahahahaha....
Ok, we officially have to add this to 1 of the funniest threads, thread. Haven't seen that pop up in a while.
Think I might have to buy this pin just to tamper down all the entertainment.

Lap, you know my posts always become a shit show and I didn't even start it this time. Also, you get a discount if you really want it. Ant.
Wow...i remember someone besides kaneda blowing up recently on here. I can't recall his name, but he made insane videos mocking pinside and such. Looks like we have our next contestant!

Lol. That guy was awesome. Our boy from Brazil is gone. I thought he got the eject but last I checked he wasn't thrown out. Anyway, back to selling this game. Realistically, offers have to be five figures. Thanks. Ant.

do commas count as one of the figures 
It's lime Jello, to help reduce splashes when diving. It's not used in the lap pool for obvious reasons.
The dreaded algae bloom that all pool owners hate. It just needs about 10K in chemicals and a good vacuuming and all will be good as new.
Who the hell would jump into this shit ! If an accident happened how would you be able to find the Diver in time.
Quoted from pinbum:Who the hell would jump into this shit ! If an accident happened how would you be able to find the Diver in time.
I would without thinking a thing about it. It's just an algae bloom.
Quoted from whthrs166:Looks like toxic algae to me!
I take it you have never swam in a lake.
Quoted from Saveleaningtower:A " why the Fuck is that pool water green?" bump! Lol. Rio is awesome.
it's a shout-out to the ghostbusters LE trim package.

If you want the best, you have to pay for the best. There are $10 bottles of wine and their $2,000 bottles of wine. The person that drinks a $10 bottle does not know the difference. A person that drinks a $2,000 of wine knows the difference, and appreciates the difference. I would never pay more then $30 for a bottle of wine.
Cars are a bit different. I will pay $60,000 for a Mercedes, but I would never pay $250,000 for a Royals Royce.
Often I find to get a 10% improvement in an item you have to double the price.
I have no question of the quality of a HEP, and I wish I could own one, but I cannot justify that price. Just because I cannot justify it does not mean I don't think it is worth it.
But most of those $10 bottle of wine people think their wine is great, and can not even understand a $2,000 bottle of wine.
Just because you cannot justify the price, or undersatnd the price, don't put it down.

In my experience, the person who pays $2000 for a bottle of wine falls into the "more money than sense" category. Or is trying to prove something ...
Quoted from Litedpinballmods:I would never pay more then $30 for a bottle of wine.
Good move. A friend of mine works in wine and he told he how much it costs to make a box of wine. Let's just say that it was in the "few dollars" range. 
Back to the pin for sale..!!!

The passion for both hobbys could indeed lead to quite the investment Dave.
We should be friends.

It all just depends on what you like in life. I wouldn't spend that much on a bottle but I also don't blink at spending $200 on a nice bottle. If someone's passion in life is wine why do they not have sense or are trying to prove something if that is what they love and enjoy. If you took what you have spent on pins, travel for pinball stuff, etc you could have an amazing wine cellar stocked with a lifetime of really good bottles. What would be the difference between that and owning a bunch of pinball machines?
Since we are for the most part all grown men in this hobby that spend $1000-$10000 on each of these toys we probably shouldn't be judging how anyone else on the planet spends their hard earned money
