Selling because I've relocated to Hong Kong. Games are located in Mt. Prospect, IL. If interested, please email me privately for pics. Local sale only please as I would like buyer to see games in person and don't want to deal with packing/shipping.

CV - $6,750. Very nice condition pf and cabinet. Fully working. There's a small chip in paint near boom balloon. Otherwise, all good. I have many extra plastics including nice slings and original key fob.

WCS - $2,300. Beautiful game, new soccer ball and plastics, cliffy protectors, replated ramps, many LEDs. Nice cab. I know it's a cliche but....nicest WCS I've seen. Extra goalie decals.

Diner - $2,200. Diamond Plate version with clear coated pf and yellow wire form ramps. Pf is in great shape. Very nice cab with some minor touch up work. Original drop targets show wear. Really nice, dialed in Diner.

These are all very nice games and years from now, I'm sure I will regret parting with them, but....life moves on.

Thanks for looking.

Steve

I have received multiple inquiries on all three pins and will respond via email with links to pics tomorrow HK time.

@asapdon: I won't respond point by point to your post but I will let all know that pictures had been provided ahead of time and that I had spent considerable time detailing some minor cosmetic issues with the game. I disagree with the characterizations and will allow the pics to speak for themselves to the prospective buyers. The person who showed the game was my son. He acted appropriately and courteously in dealing with your visit. I'm sorry that a deal was not struck and that you expended time as did I and my son.

I have received 10 separate inquiries on the Diner.

Quoted from bigehrl:

i own a prototype diner which i consider really nice, and it displays most of the characteristics you described.
i mean seriously dude.. cracked plastic around the screwhole? scratches on the glass? cracked plastic? yellow wireform worn through? insert cracking? you've never heard of these things on a used game before?... it's a prototype of a 22 yo machine. guess what, it got played a lot before you drove 3 hrs to look at it!
and you admitted that it played "correctly", but you proceeded to piss all over the guy's FS ad anyway just cuz it didn't meet your expectations, and you couldn't squeeze a $200 savings out of a super rare game. so whack!
you're far too new on this forum to go making yourself seem like a spoiled perfectionist with a vindictive side.
p.s. we all walk away from games and don't cry about it, and all of the parts you referred to, other than the pf, are replaceable.

Thank you.

Neo -- you should always own a CV. Didn't you sell yours?

Quoted from MikeS:

If this is my old WCS which I'm pretty sure it is, it's a really nice game and the new owner won't be disappointed!
Steve, I had no idea you moved to Hong Kong! Hope you are enjoying your new surroundings. i think last I chatted with you your son was just starting school here in Madison.

It is indeed, Mike. And you did a beautiful job restoring this game. It sparkles. And the boy is in his sophomore year at UW. Visit him later this summer -- he'll have my lotr at his apartment! Good to hear from you -- come visit HK! - Steve

Quoted from toyotaboy:

any chance you'd part with your TOM? I know someone that's looking for one

Sorry. This has already sold to another Pinsider.

Quoted from badbilly27:

He literally is down the street from me. Bedroom community. GLWS

I know -- we exchanged emails a few times but never ended up connecting to play. Same with Gweem. Then, whoosh, off to HK. Hopefully I can get my pin fix over by you when home as most of mine will other places soon. Best, Steve

There are deals pending at various stages on all three games. If these don't come together, I will reach out to the "next" person who contacted me. Thanks for all the interest and cool to hear from some "old" pin friends.

One person asked if I brought games to Hong Kong. I did as my company just pays for one container -- put what you will into it. For various reasons, IJ and POTC made the trip here. They're quite a novelty here and every delivery person or contractor who comes to the apartment goes crazy for them. Also, very popular with my daughter's friends.

It is a fantastic city! I would agree with your point on being single here but I am happily engaged and can't even admit to ever having had that thought (but, shhhh, I have!).

Diner and CV sold. WCS still available.

#44 11 years ago
Quoted from DrStarkweather:

Iv emailed you bout WCS a couple days ago, still waiting to hear back.

Just sent you a note before I posted. Have been traveling for business all week and just now catching up on personal email. Let me know what you think. Thanks, Steve

Deal pending with deposit on WCS.

I want to thank all the buyers for making the transactions easy for me given my distance from the States. Really appreciate it.

Also, selling the games was a great reminder of what a great hobby this is -- nice people who just love pinball. Two of my recent sales were to first time pin owners so that's extra fun to see how excited they are.

Anyone find themselves in Hong Kong, please drop me a line.

Thanks,

Steve
