Quoted from ibuypinballs:I was the first to send a pm to DropTarget and asked if I could set up a day to look at the machine before making an offer, this is the response I received.
"I guess so, I'll get you his info. I just need to get his ok first. "
So I contacted the owner last night, I was told it's not a good time to talk. Waiting to here back from him today?
I had a friend bid on one that was in an auction in Palmyra NY yesterday. The machine was clean, some flipper button wear and two broken plastics. Machine he said played well and had the topper and launch handle. After the bidding reach 1K it was my friend and a local operator ran the price up to $1750 my friend let it go being my max was $1700. Have to factor in a 13% bidders premium for paying with a credit card and 7% NY sales tax. Even at the $1750 it would have been over 2k for an un shopped machine. At this rate better just purchasing one shopped, working with led's for mid 2K. Several have popped up in the 2100-2600 range lately.

Thanks. I was hoping someone would post an update on this on pinside. I was thinking about going to that auction but the A13 was the only lot I was potentially interested in and I didn't want to spend half a day out there just to look at it and bid. There is no way I would have paid that much for it so I'm glad I didn't go.
