Quoted from Greenandwhite:Flippers are a part of the hobby, like it or not. What grinds my gears are those who want to be pinball personalities .
those are thick in the st.louis and surrounding areas
This thread is like a soap opera. The suspense is killing me. Will he open it and gush full of joy? Or will he back out and not open it, disappointing everyone watching the thread?? Dun, dun, duuuuuun......

Says Sale Pending
Quoted from cpr9999:Says Sale Pending
I guess someone just couldn't bear to watch that box get cracked open. His "countdown" worked as intended, i suppose?
Congrats on the sale, and congrats to the new owner. Perhaps the buyer will treat us to an unboxing video?
Quoted from SDpinballer:That was interesting/funny to read that MM shoots like butter. That thing bricks like crazy. So many bricks! Drives me nuts!
Sounds like a personal problem.
Quoted from Dkjimbo:What's the sale price? I guarantee it was not anywhere near 17k.
Very close

Impossible, we've got @dkjimbo's guarantee on it.
Quoted from fosaisu:Impossible, we've got dkjimbo's guarantee on it.
LOL! Take THAT to the bank!!
I bet he got 15,500 just like everyone else these days. Plus the buyer has to pay to ship which is another add on cost the original buyer did not have to take on...the $12,500 price through Cointaker is delivery included.
Where you at OP?
Let's see the box opening pics!
The game did not sell (went from a BS pending to back available it appears), so make good with the opening pics. It is one of the fun things of the hobby. Share the damn pics dude!
So we are getting an unboxing after all??!! I'll grab my popcorn, been hoping to see one of these beauties fresh and minty, and this is the closest I'll likely ever get
kidchrisso i totally call your bluff. I don't think you were ever willing to cut it open and kill the NIB value. it was just a sales tactic. if you can prove you cut it open and set it up, I've got a $25 gift certificate to the first Pinsider who comes to Jackbar and makes their presence known to me, after we reopen.

Of course he's not going to. Great pic though
Lol. That’s a funny “pretending to cut it open” picture. No need for the theatrics brother. Just post a regular “for sale” ad. Come on bro!!
Quoted from kidchrisso:in 24 hrs.... I am taking a box cutter to it. Someone give me 17k reasons to let it go
Looks like you have 17k reasons that everyone would rather watch you take a box cutter to it.
I'm impressed you have the patience to not open and play the game. I'm not convinced having it in the box really increases the value anyways. I for one would prefer a game that I know was dialed in and 100% working. Whether u have a 100 games on it wouldn't matter in my world.
Quoted from Yelobird:NIB is king. At this price point those that can pull this kind of cash do care. Unless your in a hurry I would just slide it into the corner. Your buyer will come.
You might be right, but for someone whose purchased many NIB games the experience is totally over rated....especially since many of these manufacturers won't honor warranties if your not the original owner (not sure about TBL)....I'd rather have a game I knew worked and was in great shape

Personally I’ve never bought a game based on a warranty or assumption it would ever be honored. It’s a mechanical hobby. If you go in understanding adjustments may need to be made now or in the future your expectations will be met or at least know where to get help. Plus for me and many others tuning and repairing a pin is half the fun. I expect my refrigerator to work perfect out of the box, not my pinball machine.

yea in most cases thats true, but not sure its a risk worth taking on a $17K game....what if it doesn't boot and u have issues u can't repair by yourself? what if the cabinet is jacked up? ....u can't say it doesn't come with some level of risk.
It’s not a $17k new in box pin. It’s $15.5-$16k at best based on all recent sales. If it were a 17k pin it would have sold already...
Quoted from Yelobird:Wow, that’s the cleanest project pin I have seen in some time. Nice
Yeah no shit I wish the ones I got looked that good
I do like the vaguely menacing follow-up pics from OP in this thread, it's a nice step up from the standard "if I don't get my price, I'll just keep it" statement. Hopefully we'll see more of this approach from Pinside sellers in the future.

Decals on the way to make the TM minty, I have pop skirts and bodies on the way for AS and a couple stand ups. Playfield on it is pretty thrashed. Not sure I have the talent to touch it up. Backglass's are mint on both, just got the AS locally for $1300....that game is like TNA, just one more game.
Quoted from cpr9999:What are these mods for?[quoted image]
Color sling and outlane plastic protectors.
Quoted from cpr9999:What are these mods for?[quoted image]
My guess is they are a set of plastic protectors for the slings.
Beat me to it.
Quoted from kidchrisso:Color sling and outlane plastic protectors.
Who sells those?
Quoted from cpr9999:Who sells those?
Pinball life sells a full set

Why would you buy all those mods if you plan to sell the game unopened and you’ve never mentioned throwing the mods in with the machine? At $17k asking price it might help your cause!

Humm,,,I wonder? Don't recall including the mods in my ad so I guess they dont come with this game....
Is there a second box behind curtain #2?
Quoted from kidchrisso:To those who have contacted me.....I am going to open this puppy up after Thursday. If your interested before then, let me know or this is getting some games put on it. I can't wait any longer.
Hit me up with your best and final.
I missed the opening pics, how does the game shoot?
