I think oropuro is trying to score himself a free shaker on an already discounted pin. BTTT.

Quoted from markmon:The holes are predrilled and the t nuts are still in place. Oropuro: if you buy the shaker and want to grab the machine and swing by here, I'll install it for you.
For anyone who buys game amd wants to buy shaker ill make sure one gets put in as well.
Quoted from tracelifter:You can get the T molding here in a lot of colors.

Here is my game done in purple and red, TRON in
What type and size of t moulding did you use?
Uggh..your killin me...what a great looking machine for a steal of a price...hate to say wish i was closer but if it was within driving distance i would pick it up...bump for great deal

What's a mere 12 hours?! pft! Yeah, got a lot of PMs like " IF you can drive it halfway here let's do it etc" Bummer!
Quoted from jrivelli:Multiple pallet requests. Just noting it here, cant pallet sorry!
And even if you do, the shippers will probably just dump it on it's head, shatter the glass, smash the siderails, screw up the corners, and make the head come apart at the top, like they did to my Jackbot. Which was on a pallet. Double wrapped and muti-banded to the pallet.
Will never. EVER. Request a game be shipped this way. Legs on, you wrap it like a tank, or I will come get it. 
Quoted from shacklersrevenge:The market is terrible for selling pins right now, I wonder if things have crashed some?
Quoted from CaptainNeo:I think it's going back down to where it was 3 years ago. One can only hope. It's about time. This bubble lasted way longer than I expected already.
Let's keep this in perspective, it's only sterns, other than MM's for the obvious reason, and the odd AFM and MB from people weak in the knees for what "could be" in 2-4 years. I haven't seen any other fire sales on WPCs.

For those who want the 'drive 1/2 way' deals, please have the decency to toss on a couple extra hundred to the price (depending on distance) for the seller's effort. A seller's time has value too and that should be acknowledged. Just my opinion....

Shoot, I'd just take gas money. So far 2 drive offers. One was about 9 hours round trip and one was about 4.5. Both offered lower than asking by a decent amount too 
Oh well!

Tell us how you feel! That sucks bro. Hopefully you had it insured over retail value
Shipping with legs on is preferred way to go but since you are at this point...
Palleting is easy but will require a few hours time. You will need to go to home depot and buy a package of three ratchet straps. On the way home stop by a hardware store and they should have some empty pallets available outside for repurposing (might be best to do at night).
Remove balls and fold head down onto a blanket and add one strap to secure head to cabinet. Remove back legs of game and lower pin cabinet to floor. Rotate game on its back and remove front legs. Gently walk game up on pallet. Add one strap to anchor game by attaching each end to opposite sides of pallet and rathet tightly. Then repeat by adding strap to the other two sides and ratchet. Looking down on pin the straps are criss-crossing the game and each of four sides of pallet has one ratchet strap attached. You are ready for pickup my friend.

Ive palleted a few times. I get ratchets way cheaper ar harbor freight then get free pallet at lowes down the street. Its just a huge hassle i dont want to mess with. Not dying for cash, just bumping down price to help the sale. I juat thought for the price it was a decent enough deal to have shipped legs on if someone chose. Thanks for that info though
Understood, but while palleting is a hassle, it is way less time consuming than driving the game half way to CA. I think the real issue from those asking for it to be palletized was that those offers were less than asking price. Just hang in there, a legit offer will come.

I have decepticon TF LE and mine had a shaker when I got it. It's factory from what I remember.
This, the market is slowly falling back to reality where every pin LE isn't the next tron or acdcLE.

Yup, agreed. In no hurry and threw it.up on craigslist for the locals too

Nah, the entire market is soft. I think the main reason is so many people added MMr to their collections and view that as their big purchase for the year. They are waiting on their MMr and won't add another game till it comes in. All prices are down, not just Sterns and MM.

I don't know, point me to the WPC's sitting at incredibly low prices, in comparison to this.
Quoted from Shoot_Again:Been looking at this all week on CL.
Just building up my pin fund. Any interest in TFTC or RBION plus cash? Also have Flash and a Lost World project.
Otherwise if is still available in about 6-8 weeks I should have cash together. Fear that is way to late at this price though...
I traded my TF LE for a HUO RBION plus cash. Fantastic trade, very happy. Believe it or not.

Just got rid of a RBION I had for a while so not interested in re-adding it so soon currently. Never had a TFTC, but haven't played it enough to know if I want to snag one up or not either
Quoted from coasterguy:I still think TF pro and LE are great games. I've had the LE 3 times.... ha
LE is indeed well designed. Flows well, fun stuff, and a lot of it, to shoot for. Call outs get more entertaining as modes progress. Newest software got rid of OP road block, so not everyone has to play like Lyman to advance modes.
Still not gettin' all the hate over this title other than stern/Gomez over promising on initial release.

Me either. Especially as at these prices. I am still on the fence about getting a pro. I like the ramps on the pro more than the ramp toys on the LE. But, I think the LE is a gorgeous machine. Very industrial looking. Visitors loved playing it.
people will look back on this thread on pinside archives and be astounded at no one snatching it up at $4400.
I think it's a sleeper [LE not the pros] and will be highly sought after down the road - especially ones without decal wrinkle.
I hadn't followed this thread at all until I saw this most recent price. I expected to look in here and see a beat up machine or something wrong with it. I am amazed it didn't sell long ago. Wow.
I wouldn't even sell mine that low ever. Way better game than that, price on this is a steal.

You aren't kidding about looking back at prices in retrospect. Go back to 2010 and see what pins are selling for and then jump in nine month increments and follow that title. With each jump the prices rose and if one was reasonably priced in one period, it looked ridiculously cheap by the next. Pick some titles like BBB, IM, TronLE, MM, AFM or WOZECLE to name some of the more interesting ones.

Completely agree, just had the original owner of mine try to buy it back for $5K and I passed - I really like this game.

Give him this thread
Quoted from starbase:You could probaby trade this for a Stle if you wanted to. It will sell at this price eventually. Pm me if you want trade info.
from bene pinballs? He has messaged me a few times, but the convo seems to die off
Quoted from jrivelli:Give him this thread
He just bought a POTC, since he couldn't pry the xformers out the door.
Quoted from jrivelli:from bene pinballs? He has messaged me a few times, but the convo seems to die off
Yeah I've talked to him a couple times about mine as a trade or sale but not seeing eye to eye on price/value.

Yeah we were close but shipping killed it for me personally. I found one local, best of luck.

That would be cool to snag a local one. Shipping and percieved vale of my tf killed it too
