By the way, I also have my White Water for sale for the same reason and just lowered the price on it some to hopefully help facilitate a sale.

Can anyone say, "package deal"?

This one is priced appropriately for it's condition, IMO. I just sold a really nice one for over $6k. Still the same game.

Quoted from Stones:
Are u willing to ship?

Sure. I just sent my TOTAN down to Florida. They picked up and shipped with legs on after they wrapped it. If you'd rather it ship legs off, I'm sure I could put it on a pallet and wrap it...just have never done it before

Quoted from Collin:

Are you talking up by the bookcase? There is some wear that is not covered by the Cliffy if that is what you are referring to.

Or are you talking about the "G" target? That is just a reflection.

Beautiful if you like games with gauges in the playfield surface over by the right sling. Are those screwdriver "slip ups"?

I disagree. Someone not looking closely could easily miss this flaw. I do not consider what is in the picture to be "typical mansion wear". Just because I don't think the game is beautiful, does not mean someone else couldn't. Why can't I express my opinion on the condition of a game in a FS post?

It comes down to being as honest as you can about the game for sale and not so much "trashing a FS thread" as you suggest. When selling a game, I expect close ups of only the worn areas of the PF. That way, it can't really be an issue when completing the sale.

Screw pops from someone subbing screws that were too long.

That makes sense now. Looks to possibly be where the metal sling mount screws go.

You can express your opinion all you want, in a constructive manner. Being a dick about it? Not so much.

Being honest is not the same as calling people names. You are confused. Furthermore, a FS post that is 7 days old has had it's time and that time has passed to be open to further scrutiny. You don't like it, go over to ebay or RGP to buy a pin.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...the OP never said that. It's a F/S thread WHY come in and say it's not beautiful?? Why? What value does that add to the thread? People just like to piss in others cheerios. The price reflects the condition, Nuf said.

I didn't say the OP said it was beautiful. This happens in every FS thread it seems. Ad goes up, cheerleaders come in, followed by detractors and the show starts. Comments on either side are fair game, otherwise it belongs in the Market. The price is high for the wear it shows, and maybe why it hasn't sold (assuming that is still the case).

Showing a pic of the machine turned on with no errors might help.

It's nice that the seller posted high enough quality pictures that reveal condition. Most people who are in the pinball buying market hopefully have good enough vision to see the flaws. I'd say it's an average Taf, give or take. Glws, you started in the ballpark, maybe you might wanna consider some price drops.

That said good luck with the sale. If I wasn't already buying a shadow this weekend I would have put in an offer of what I thought was fair given the wear.

Wow. Away from Pinside for a day and didn't realize this thread got bumped so much. Thanks! And, yes, I never said this was a beauty. It works perfectly but does have the mansion wear and the two small screw defects in the upper right hand part of the mansion. In no way am I trying to mislead anyone. The Cliffy's cover some wear as well, but that is what they are there for, no?

The thread does say "obo" in the asking price. It sounds like a lot of folks think I'm in the ballpark price-wise and others don't. I'm cool with that. If someone wants it, feel free to make an offer.
