Yes, you read that correctly.

My wife was offered a unique opportunity to work in England, and we’ve decided to give it a try. We considered moving the operation with us, but the shipping costs to the US would be prohibitive. So, it is with a heavy heart that I am putting the company up for sale. I believe this would be a great opportunity for someone looking for a pinball based business with a unique product and solid customer base. While we would like to keep the price confidential, it is on par with a profitable small business with a sizeable inventory.

If you are looking for an extraordinary opportunity to own not only Titan Pinball, but a premier seller and innovator of LEDs, take a look at the sale of Comet Pinball here - https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/comet-pinballcom-business-for-sale

Here are some highlights of owning Titan Pinball:

-Turn Key Business
We will hand control of our website and shipping solution directly to you, and be available to answer questions and make a smooth transition. This also includes our packing materials, shelving, and any miscellaneous items we have.

- One of a kind product
A full line of silicone rings in 33 sizes and 13 colors. New products and sizes are at your discretion.

-Distributorship
While we do have a few small distributors around the world, there is a large, untapped market to develop distribution in Europe, Canada, and Australia

-Unique kit database
Custom ring kit database that rewards user participation and links directly to the site.

-Existing Inventory
Over 250000 rings to hit the ground running.

-Customer Base
More than 1200 unique customers, and growing.

-Reputation
Titan Pinball is well known for our fast shipping and excellent customer service. We also run an Ebay store with 100% feedback and a Power Seller rating.

-Manufacturers
Work directly with the manufactures with tooling owned by Titan Pinball.

-Sacred Titan Tilt-O-Meter molds
Need I say more?

We will be listing the price and opening up our financials to serious inquiries (NDA required). Please PM me if interested, or send an email to [email protected] to start the process.

If we cannot find a buyer, we will be searching for an exclusive US distributor. We would be looking to sell all of our existing inventory at an excellent wholesale price.

Whether we find a buyer or a distributor, I want to convey my most sincere gratitude to you all. You made Titan Pinball a reality with your support, and I will be forever grateful. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity, and I'll never forget the lessons I learned and the friendships that were formed.

Thank you,
-Matt and Eve
Titan Pinball

Don't forget there is an opportunity to own both Titan Pinball and Comet Pinball - https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/comet-pinballcom-business-for-sale

Nothing will change with orders. We are still business as usual. New sizes are coming in, and we'll have them on the site asap. The plan is to change hands with very minimal downtown. I will be directly involved, so I hope for a very smooth transition.

Working with Matt on things like the site and designing the kits database has been nothing short of a privilege. I remember when he was tinkering with the notion of starting the company, when he pulled the trigger, had molds made, ordered his first inventory, and then sold his first product... It was really just wonderful to watch the growth of the company from the outside, and he never stopped providing excellent customer service.

To whomever steps up to the plate, I wish you well. Matt and Eve have built a great company and a great reputation.

With all that crap out of the way, I'm just glad I have my super ultra high gloss rare Titan Pinball t-shirt!

Ha! I wish. Unfortunately, we're not taking any We're selling the two we have to help finance the move.

We're certainly going to try to avoid this. The plan is to have as little downtime as possible while we make the transfer.

We are extremely pleased to announce the sale of Titan Pinball to Eric and Heather Smith, aka angryjeep on Pinside. After speaking with many interested parties, we believe we have found the perfect fit for our business philosophy. Eric and his wife are excited to bring the same level of passion and customer support that Eve and I always strived to give our customers.

We've had many discussions about the way we currently do business, and I honestly believe Eric will meet, and exceed, our level of service. They are part of the pinball community and enthusiasts, and I think that enthusiasm will take Titan Pinball to new heights.

You can expect them to expand the catalog, restock LEDs, and bring in unique products of their own. And, I know they'll do a much better job keeping track of inventory than we did!

The website is currently in vacation mode. You can still browse and add to your cart, but the checkout feature will be disabled. Eric is loading up inventory this weekend, so the site should only be down for a handful of days.

We would like to give our absolute deepest gratitude to you all. In a very short time, the people here on Pinside allowed us to transform our hobby into real job that we enjoyed every single day. We will never forget the people who helped make a dream come true.

Thank you,
Matt and Eve
