I don't think the price police are going to like this... Maybe its only cpr they cry about.
good luck, cant wait to get mine!!!
cheers!
Quoted from jpolfer:The translite was signed by Dirty Donny. Won it at the Metallica Launch Party in Chicago. Only about a dozen of these were signed for the launch party events.
Asking $250.
Bummer. I won the Minnesota Metallica Launch Party and the translite I won was as part of the prize package was not signed. We had 3 translites to give away as prizes and none of them were signed.
Some arn't metallica fans. If I had it I would be trading it or selling it as well. Now if it was a AC/DC signed by someone significant. I'd have to give it to a friend. Awesome item for someone who is a fan of the band and the game. Rare gem. I don't think $250 is that unreasonable. you guys fork out $175 for a Tron translite with chics on it. ANd they didn't sign it or anything.
Quoted from Breadfan:Any kind of paper work with it?
If you see the first post on this thread (http://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/they-got-dirty-donny-signing-metallica-translitesi-want-one#post-917313), you can see that the signature matches the signatures of the stack of translites, and that picture was posted well before I made my FS post. No paperwork was issued with the translite when I received it.
$250 seems low to me honestly, but the op should do whatever he likes with it.
Normal translites sell for 150 and up so I would think a LE (i.e. limited edition by being signed by the artist) trans is worth at least $100 more.
PM Sent. I want it. If anyone knows the OP, please let him know.
I just got back in town from a niece's Graduation and am afraid I missed it.

There are a couple floating around. pm sent
Talked with OP on the phone. Says he has limited internet access for the next day or so. I'm sure he'll get back to you as he is a very nice guy.
I'm really feeling redundant saying "really nice guy" about pinball people. Everyone I've met is REALLY NICE!

super lame!!! nothing like trying to snake the sale from someone else in their thread.
Backflipper >> just buy from Jon (Jpolfer), he is a nice guy and will treat you right.
Sorry - the translite has sold.
Indeed, I do not have internet access at home (I left a networking event after DEWSHO and CaptainNeo both called me about the thread to go to a McDonalds to write this and finalize even!), and so I cannot always respond immediately - I'm not trying to be rude. I sold it to the first person who offered me asking price + shipping and PayPalled me the funds.
I also think I'm a pretty nice guy, and hope to have the opportunity to prove this to some of you in person some day. lol
Quoted from jpolfer:I also think I'm a pretty nice guy,
Your not allowed to say this!
But after you told me what the money is going for I guess you deserve a Halo!

If you read the comment, he said that was worried it had sold. I had been in contact with op and it had sold already. Maybe if you had the facts you wouldn't have been so quick to throw down. That's alright though I accept.
Quoted from Whysnow:$250 seems low to me honestly, but the op should do whatever he likes with it.
The OP wants to give us guys in the pin community a nice deal. It sounds like if you had your way you would want to rake us over the coals... evil profiteer you!
I said I could prove it too, in person. I'm far more cheeky online than in person - not the best personality trait. I'll keep it in check.
Quoted from usmcss:Just had a customer send this pic to me. Who ever bought that the signed translite, pinsiders get 10% discount off our frames.
Anyway, I would love to have one of those translites unsigned. If anyone wants to sell one let me know.
Thanks!image.jpg 644 KB
Hey that's mine! Love the frame, definitely recommended. It fit the translite perfectly and love the front-loading style. Easy to swap out others without removing the frame from the wall!
