FS- TSPP- SE Wisconsin- $3k

I got a sudden overflow of TSPP from a guy I get all my Chuck E Cheese Sterns from and have 2 TSPP in my basement and 2 coming in (much sooner than I expected). I will post pics later tonight, but wanted to post here while I had a bit of time.

This one is unshopped, but working. havent had a chance to go completely through it. Playfield is pretty nice, cabinet is okay (will look a lot nicer with the newer Stern side rails), and it has the Cliffy protector on the I&S hole. The only mechanical issue I am aware of right now is that the I&S drops arent resetting, but I am sure it is something extremely simple.

Anyways throwing this out there to anyone looking to get a great game at a decent price.

Wow, what a huge inconvenience. I hope you pull through. Didn't know Chuck E Cheese still had pins.

This is going to sound silly, but it is sort of a pain. I don't make anything on these, but have to take the deals I don't want to try and get the deals I do want. Often times, the pics I get aren't really showing me anything, and they are all shipped to me basically sight unseen. There is risk buying these like this. But after spending about 30k with this seller, I am trying to get to the point where some of the 3k machines are Spiderman and Lord of the Rings.

Thanks Hilton. Just trying to pay it forward. I remember many years ago how frustrating it was as a new collector trying to find deals. I have had many great experiences with many sellers, and I hope I can help someone else out get a decent deal as well.

I have had a few CEC machines from another guy that gets them sometimes and you are correct that you are taking on a risk. I have seen both sides on them thus far.

Glad you are able to pass along some great deals to other locals!!!!

Hopefully I can get one of those 3k LOTR or SMs someday

Quoted from maddog14:

I have had no less than 20 PMs on these. While I would like to post a "Sold" message right now, it really comes down to the fact that more than half of these want me to ship (which I am not opposed to, but want a local sale first), and the other half are making arrangements to come see the machine in person (which is tough to do in the middle of the week).

Typically, someone will say "I'll take it" and that is all I need to hear and mark it sold, but having multiples of the title and the need to move them, I need to try to leave it as open ended as possible.

That being said, I have had a few guys offer me less (which I am not taking, as these are literally a pay it forward deal for me), and a few guys offer me trades (which doesn't alleviate my space issue). BUT, if someone has a decent Fish Tales as partial trade for one, I am listening.

Three grand is the lowest publicly for sale TSPP I have ever witnessed in these modern pinball times. I would have thought bottom price on those was $3300

It's all good, really. Sort of human nature, you know? I just wanted to publicly post that statement to reduce the number of offers for less (and no, I am not offended).

Wish I could move some money to make this work right now. Trying to get into a house so I can actually jump on this exact kind of opportunity! Such a good deal on a game that I'd love to pick up one day. Props and snaps to the OP for offering this game to the Pinside community at that price.
