you are officially only in this hobby for money. You might not know this but pinsiders are offended by that.

I thought it was just to buy and sell 2 games every week?

but this game hasn't been built yet.

Nah Delta is good people. He mentioned he already payed a premium to get in earlier. He clearly is not making money with the rate he goes through games. I was offered 2k for my #169 and I (rather foolishly) turned it down, he'll find a buyer. a 1k premium to have this gem a year earlier is not out of line in the slightest.

I guess if you need the money. right? I know he is good people. his input on the alien threads was good. helped alot of people out.

The thing about TNA is anybody can still get one, you just have to wait like everybody else did. So selling a spot for a bit of profit isn't really depriving anybody of their chance to get one. I'm on month 9, hopefully will ship in the next week or so... the first 8 months were easy but every day afterwards feels longer and longer haha.

I think this is a good deal of you don't have a reservation already and don't want to wait 9 months.

It's nothing wrong with this, much like anyone that has a ticket to a hockey/basketball playoff game (or good seats at a concert) and wanted to sell it for whatever reason. if you'll don't like it, don't buy it, but that's the way the world works.

I have one on order and I don't prefer to pay extra to jump up. I'd rather take $1K and pay for butter cabinet but some would rather pay $1K and get it sooner.

Looks like #170 just paid today so they will get their game in about 3 weeks. #226 in early july is pretty aggressive maybe september? Thats if the new Alice Cooper game doesnt come on line which would push it back even further. Any buyer should probably check with spooky to get an update on shipping eta.

Yes probably August delivery IMO

If you pay even the slightest of attention to Delt, you’ll know he’s not making money in his OCD pin-swapping!

191 should be here soon!! Good luck with the sale!!

Im a fan of delt pin swapping cause every time I go over there he has all new games.

It doesn't bother me at all what you do with your time & monies.

I got my TNA a few weeks ago and I have to say for me it is the best new game I have played in years, maybe decades. Everybody here loves it! And even though there is probably some money to be made, it's hard to put a price on quality and good fun. So I'm keeping it.

GLWS!

I’m on the list.

The *only* problem about this re-sale (it’s not the game or the seller or the timeframe), it’s that most people who really want one are already on the list or have the pin, and/or got sidetracked by Iron Maiden or some other pin like AC, DI etc.

At least with me extra money doesn’t sit around long, I sold my LotR just to have a bit of space and free money and the money was spent in a week for an amazing deal on DI LE.

DI seller had many people who wanted the pin, but I had the free money on hand didn’t need to sell something first (had sold LotR coincidentally).

I hear ya.

However one of my biggest considerations when bringing in games now, beside the excellence of gameplay, is will it dress up the place or will it be an eyesore. Remember, I got to look at these things everyday. It's not like I have some basement. These are right in my living room.

Can't you just put any uggos out in the garage? Or did you rearrange things during your recent 30-day stay in Folsom?

No. Some days I spend more time in the garage than the house. And that's where the classic EMS reside. I already got rid of a few out there that didn't measure up to my artistic tastes. No more ugly games for me!

Then why do you want a supreme?!

That thing's stylish and modern! Plus no crappy wanna-be Ed "Big Daddy" Roth art on that one.

If somebody would like to do the honors and photoshop Supreme where Skateball is in the above photo (I'm not so good at such things), I believe we will all see what the prototypical, state of the art , modern pinball lineup should look like.

I was told by Kayte that my 223 “should be done by the end of this month” today, so it shouldn’t take more than a month for this pin (I would think)

This shouldn’t bother anyone. You want the game early, then you pay a premium. Is what it is, market dictates that price.

I’ve been talking to Joe at PinballStar about buying a TNA and there is a wait, not sure if it’s out to March of 2019, but it’s a fairly long wait nonetheless.

the main reason it carries a premium is that spooky cant make games fast enough.
rubberducks alludes to some of the long term ramifications in the ACNC thread.

plus they just announced plans for a second Danesi design.

No doubt, I agree. Not saying want to pay that premium either, but for someone jonesing for a TNA, I get it.

I do think it reflects poorly on Spooky, you have to be able to scale up when you have a hit on your hands, and hopefully they can make it work. I like their other pins, Hopefully TNA can propel them to bigger and better things.

That’s hard to believe if they’re building them in order and they haven’t added people/build capacity. I’m in the 20x range and I was originally told spring delivery. I’m not complaining, just saying spooky’s estimates have been a bit off.

not nice to openly misrepresent somebodys factual post as trolling when it clearly isnt.

time is money.

I think you can abbreviate the explanation to a simple: demand > supply.

I demanded a game, waited some time, and then supplied the money. Simple economics if you ask me.

"Forever"??? This one you didnt even have yet

I am looking for your next listing to be something like "For SALE - STERNS next game that hasn't been announced yet"

Just busting chops Delt!!! GLWS and wish you'd go back to buying the used ones!!!!

Sweeeet! #225 here. It’s getting closer!

Great, great game. And even better multi player.

It also says OBO. I am amazed how angry people can get for an add posting. If you do not want to pay ok but for this game and the current supply it is not unreasonable to ask for a premium.

If I had an open spot , I would make an offer. Now what to sell?? Hmm.

I don't get the hate either. Plans change quickly for many pinheads for various reasons. Let him ask what he asks. If a buyer is found there will be two happy campers.

Also can’t believe this hasn’t sold yet.

Cash is King!

I sure enjoyed mine!

Pity I was unable to share it with all my friends on pinside as I was banned at the time.

But unbox it we did nonetheless.
