Nice

That is a great looking back saving machine enjoy your new work horse. Hmm a john deer pinball with a tracktor that collects the balls for multiball???

Sweet tractor! And sweet MB! Would love to own it but this one is a bit out of my budget

I agree that this game looks amazing.

Most will take this the wrong way but I am prepared...

Why do people always ask exactly what money they have invested in a high end restored pin?

All other "big toy" expensive hobbies like motorcycles, classic cars, ect. are ALL losing money ventures and everyone in those hobbies knows it and they still do it anyway and don't care.

I don't understand when people drop many thousands on a pinball restoration (they usually plan to keep forever) and then ask exactly what $ they put into the project? Were you expecting to get your money back? Were you not planning on keeping the title forever? Who spends 10 grand to make ZERO profit?

I realize that these are rhetorical questions but there is nothing that makes pinball a special hobby. I would never spend money on any "hobby" expecting to retrieve all those funds back in a private sale.

Well it is generally true that a lot of pins "keep their value". Looking at this from the perspective of the title where thousands and thousand was spent on the restoration, I don't think the same dynamic can be applied to the "average trending price" of any given title.

Asking exactly what you have in the game. Does that mean that you wasted your time achieving this level of restoration of that particular title?

snyper2099...sh*tting on F/S threads everywhere...

Again, not true. When I break a rule you can complain all you want. FS post is 4 days old. Pinside forums don't have ebay-like rules and fees last I checked.

Haven't you figured it out yet? No one cares what is said in a FS thread. It doesn't stop anyone from buying the game they want. Doesn't matter if it's a bad deal, scammer, whatever. What is posted here has no relevance on the sale of the game. People gonna do what they do. I asked a valid question. You sir are the one bringing all the negative.

You couldn't be more wrong. Why don't you go look up the BSD F/S thread from a couple of months ago? The negativity in that thread killed any potential deal.

Why not start a separate thread if you want to discuss your theory? It's bad etiquette.

I'm bringing the negative? Before this my comment was "Beautiful game GLWTS" yeah that's pretty negative. You knew full well your comment wouldn't be well received, you said it yourself, but you just had to say it regardless. There are plenty of other threads to ask that question.

GLWTS Skins, exceptional game you have there.

Ditto

"The hep restored playfield, color dmd and mirror blades alone were $2,400.00"
"I ended up on a valuation on my game of $11,700"

My apologies for thinking that these two statements were what you had invested in the game. I am confident your game will sell. My question has nothing to do with the price being asked. Again, I was inquring more about the thought process of spending a lot on a particular restoration. I know better than most that life is a total rape sometimes. It could always be worse though.

To the above, it's a choice to add a post in the forums about a game FS. If you don't want a "conversation" or questions PUBLICLY asked, I would strongly suggest JUST posting in the ADS section of Pinside.

Typical pinside for sale post $hitstorm.

It's a for sale thread. Not a for sale sign. Understand the difference?

"cash talks, b.s. walks?"

I have the older model of that tractor John Deere 4110. I work it to death and it just keeps on going. Have fun.

Seriously with your $hit again? STFU already. Your act is old.

Why are you policing for sale threads? This site allows us to state our opinions regardless of the context, if I can steer someone away from an over priced pin or simply cause him to think about it that's my business. MB is a good game but one could buy The Hobbit LE or a new Stern LE with all the trimmings for less than this pinball from the 90's restored or not. We all discuss the ups and downs of new release pins from Stern, JJP, SkitB, etc, so why not this? and why do you care? I hope Skins gets more than he's asking, <edited>

yikes! Can't we all just get along?

O yea bump for a nice game

Am I the only one who looks at those pics and feels a little frisky?

It's an open forum just like you said. The same forum that gave you the right to say you hope my dog dies. You keep acting like an @sshole and I'll keep calling you and others out for it.
<edited> K, good.

Beautiful machine, just gorgeous. Good luck on getting this sold soon.

Beautiful game I love monster bash. Some people just don't understand if you want quality you have to spend.

This FS thread has to be the most looked at thread for me ever. I've looked at the pictures at least once a day since it was listed.

Just a tip, you might wanna add a line to your very first post with the new price, I had to dig to see what the new price is.

...and free bump.

This game looks phenomenal. If only I had the extra coin at the moment...!

I hope you get it sold!
