The Simpsons Pinball Party
Stern, 2003The owner submitted this game to We Buy Pinball and would like $5,000.00 for it.
This is an exact quote from the owner...
"We were hoping for around 5,000$ for it, but the price is negotiable."
If you are interested in contacting the owner please let me know. Call, text or Pinside me and I'll give you owner's contact information.
Thanks!

Ouch, teach the owner how to remove the playfield glass and clean the playfield. If he can't do that much try Craigslist.
Quoted from NathanP:maybe $3500.
Hey, I just post stuff here. It's up to you guys to buy them. I'm in Iowa and trying to move, so I'm BROKE!
-Aaron
Ill be happy to speak to the owner about the game if its nearby and I can take a look. I'm in the market.
That dirty playfield is a F'n badge of honor!
One day my HUO will look lik that... Covered in priceless pinball patina one can only earn by playing their game more than looking at it
No flipper button wear, doesn't seem to be drilled out in the front either?
Is this dirty HUO?
If so I'd like to shake the owners hand for playing his game that much... & low ball him an offer 
Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:Ill be happy to speak to the owner about the game if its nearby and I can take a look. I'm in the market.
I'll PM you.
You know, I bet that game cleans up very nicely...No flipper button wear either. I found one similar once that I passed along to a pinsider...It was true HUO, no button wear, but a bit dirty because like this one, owner didn't know how to remove the glass. Once it was cleaned it was perfect.
Man I got real lucky when I picked up mine. The owners jaw fell to the floor when I removed the pf glass, but it was almost spotless inside! The batteries were 7yrs old and still pumping, like the pf glass she didn't know the translite was removable!
They are looking for five grand! And live in soho. I'm pretty sure they don't need the money and won't lowball easily. But good luck trying.

I'll bet you are right on the money with that statement! I too think it will clean up great!

Its located at a "post production company".

Your not helping 'thefamilyarcade' out at all! LoL
Quoted from rockotaco1:Wow that is the dirtiest playfield I've ever seen. WTF!
They'll be lucky to fetch $3500.
Ya, cuz it takes at least $1,500 in novus to clean a dirty playfield!
The real issue is that the post-production company doesn't know how to sell things on the internet. Good luck post-producing shit.
They know how. They're on pinside and didn't even have to go through the trouble of setting up an account or a fs posting, smart if you ask me. If anyone speaks with them or buys it I hope they tell the story here.
I'm confused how it's easier or smarter to contact a third party to sell your machine, supply them with pictures and answers to every question that a potential buyer has, then pay a fee VS take 5 min to register for an account and write a FS ad that you can interact with yourself to see it through. Different tick for every hound I guess...
Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:really? strikes me there's alot on that table to tear down?
Nah. The whole mini-pf comes off with a few thumb screws and the wireforms are easily removable. It looks bad at first but it's really not.

That isn't how it works, they contact him, they ask him if he would like to buy it,they don't pay him a fee at all. He forwards their info to you and you contact them directly. His website allows him to get first crack and it also allows him to help others in the pinball community to get the game from the seller instead of the flipper. I spoke to aaron and he is doing for the love of pinball and to help others that are collecting games they want.My point was they know exactly what their doing and how to do it. It's on pinside for sale, isnt it?
Definitely has flipper button wear. They bought it used. It's in an office building in Soho NYC, 1 flight of stairs to elevator. Seller will take $3,500.
Quoted from fattrain:Nah. The whole mini-pf comes off with a few thumb screws and the wireforms are easily removable. It looks bad at first but it's really not.
It's a bit more than that. The tv cable has to be disconnected and there are connections underneath, it's a PIA. Putting back isn't so easy either as the flippers are a pain to get right.
Quoted from RawleyD:You guys keep saying "no flipper button wear", but clearly by the pics the art is quite smudged up.
I thought you guys were experts??
Pictures paint a thousand words and a thousand lies...No one is proclaiming to be an expert, just giving our best opinions based on experience. If you look at the smudged flipper button you'll see the art is in tact under the smudge.
Minor flipper button wear or not, (assuming it is mostly functional) its in much better shape than one I sold for $3700 and a good buy @ $3500 for sure

NO FEE here!
I just dump the stuff I'm not interested in buying here. I buy the rest that is submitted to www.WeBuyPinball.com

Hit the nail on the head! I get first crack at all games coming through my website. If it's too far away for me to mess with, I post images here. No charge to the buyer or owner of the game.
If I'm not interested in it, I at least try to get the game a good home.

Quoted from bigehrl:Ok makes sense. I didn't realize it was run that way. Very cool of them, glad they share the love! Thanks for the clarification.
Thanks!
