Ripley's Believe It or Not!
Stern, 2004Not Mine--Ripley's Believe it or Not for sale in Manassas VA. Randal Paris has the game. He says it is nice, but I have not seen the game personally. Call or Text Randal at 703 209 2383. Sometimes he responds better to text messages than voice mails.
Also--This is the third time I have come across a pin for what I felt was a descent price and passed it onto the group. Should I continue to do this?
Quoted from Tom_in_NoVA:Should I continue to do this?
I don't see a problem with it. More info is generally better. Especially about available pins.
Although I'm personally far enough away that it's unlikely that I would be interested in one.

Absolutly. Much appreciated by everyone here in fact.
<<<Should I continue to do this?>>>
Well, hmmmm. I guess simple answer is no. I propose you pm me first and let me assist in filtering which ones should go public
I love the way you think Pinballdad. I have bought at least 20 pins from Randal and I have even helped him load his truck after a few auctions. He gives me first shot at the pins. I don't think he is giving me better prices, but he did find me a descent WH2O a few months ago.
@rommy, there was one on Pinside last month for $3200

But, I kind of agree with you on this one. The seller said best offer, so I will let it go at that. What he eventually sells the game for is really no business of mine.
Quoted from rommy:I paid 2200 for mine off of pinside, 4 months ago, HUO mint. Has it gone up that much?
No....well I mean maybe it has but it shouldn't be. I got mine a month ago more in line with your price and it's cherry.
That last month one listed is Cali pricing.
Quoted from EmptyLogic:As info on the Cali from last month - ebay.com link: itm
seems about right for an OBO.
I called Randal and voiced the price concerns. He lowered the price to $2500 or best offer. Text him for pictures.

You should be working on a finders fee basis.
I sold the one to Rommy and knew I was giving him a good deal. I think I could have reached more for 2500 but I'm not in pinball to get money. That said, I think the market has gone up enough that 2600 is the good deal price now, so someone should jump on that 2500 price.
If this was a month from now it would be gone. Wife is due in 6 days and I can't take the expense right now. 
Quoted from pinstor12:Randall, If you are reading this, Thanks!
Concur....Don't know Randall, but VA is close enough that it's nice to know there's another reasonable seller in the area. When I saw the initial price listed, I was thinking just another out of touch retailer. The fact that he lowered the price so quickly based on facts presented shows he's a realistic seller and therefore an asset to the collecting community. Hat's off

I can think of one place you could probably get close to or maybe all of that $2500 .....

Yea I know I owe you pictures BAD. Your funny dude.
Quoted from Mudflaps:As another NoVA member, the heads up is appreciated!
Couldn't agree more! I'm still settling into the "addiction" with my first pin purchased last March...but I'm in the market for my next & appreciate the local heads-up Let me know if you hear of any project-worthy Fish Tales or WH20!
Quoted from Jgel:Yea I know I owe you pictures BAD. Your funny dude.
hahaha no worries, just messin with ya, I couldn't resist

Whasssuuuup man! Only thing I have changed are a couple of burnt out light bulbs. Still near perfect with the cliffy added also. Yeah I agree, depending on condition. If mint or near mint it's worth it. Still the visiting kids' favorite.

. I think 2200 is too low now for mint. I think 3200 is too high, but maybe not the way things have been going.
