I'm assuming this was coasterguy's?

Speechless.

Looks almost identical to Costerguys... uncanny resemblance actually.
is it?

c'mon lottery!

Thats Sweet!

That thing must be cursed, how many times has it traded hands already ?

I guess if you have to ask about price, you can't afford it.

That is definitely Coasterguy's AFM that was sold here a couple weeks ago for $10.5k. It was a good deal. So good, that Teekee bought it to flip.

Where do you think he got the ACDC BIBLE? Who did the work is the $10k question!!

Pinballer22 ...

LOL. HAHAHHAHA

I guess it's only a .10c question.

i wonder how much it appreciated?

Excellent AFM. I just had to get AC DC le back

Reminds me of when I put my Zizzle on sale and everyone recognized it. Good times.

damn!

Teekee took better pictures than I did. I told you all it worth $10,500 +++ all day.

Do you guys know where he got those custom cards? Those are awesome.

So tell us...Did You trade Your machine straight across for the AC/DC LE?

If he bought this from Coasterguy I am SURE he would offer this for sale for $10,500 to fellow pinsiders, right? He would not try to get one over on a pinsider. That would be a slap in the face to the rest of us, surely that is not the case.

Is that HEP? It's very nice.

LOL...

TeeKee be careful with Your tude!!!

You are a flipper plain and simple...or an undeclared retailer.

You are also a predator that hounds a seller when they are trying to sell a pin and try and catch them at a weak moment.

I have watched You do this for years as I was one of the 1st people to EVER deal with You on RGP.

If You did a deal with TeeKee he got the best of the deal. Nothing against him just be warned!!!

Replace above warning with the name jaimmy as well. Except jaimmy is like the retarded outlaw brother who is more of a wannabe.

I have to agree with this.. i sold him my IJ4 for 3K and its now worth probably $4,500. He caught me at a "weak moment"... see the game sucked and i could not get what i paid for it and he was willing to pay 3K. Damn capitalism!!!

Please...so he hounded you? OMG! What did he do.. ring your doorbell at 3AM?

Wow! We need a list of these flippers so that new people don't get fooled. Alright...list is bad idea, but new guys be informed, a nice AFM sold for 5k yesterday I did not know this guy was a straight up flipper prior to this thread.

He's exejets friend. No need for any more evidence to prove his ethics and motives. The fact exejet tried to claim he did the restore until he was called out on it was pathetic. Née tragic

I did not see how Exjet claimed he did the restoration ?

I think Tony rubs people the wrong way because of his blunt words but I've never heard of him being difficult to deal with. I frankly think the way he does business is very upfront and no nonsense which I appreciate.

I didn't say much as it was not my place. Now with all of this I will say that Teekee was just fine in his approach and our deal was fair. We actually started talking about a deal with my MM then I realized I was not interested in selling MM yet. Then I realized I want the BIBLE from him and we made a deal we were both comfortable with. He is entitled to sell that AFM for what he wants. He probably is more willing to trade it or wait for the right buyer than I was. Pinballer22 did the restore and it is an excellent job plain and simple. It is the Best AFM I've ever seen in person. Good luck with the sale Teekee and thanks for the trade I love my BIBLE.
We can't bash everyone that flips. It's done with cars, houses, antiques, its even done with 1980's BMX bikes I have found.....

For the record, if was going to buy that AFM again knowing what I know now. I would have paid more than $10,500 for it

See what you started John Boy! If you would have kept your AFM and not get that rock and roll pin this would have never started. I curse your flipping motives! LOLOL

Everybody knows rock and roll is the true evil of the youth rebellion, short mini-skirts, drugs, and pinball flipping.

Here's an easy way to think/justify a flipper:

- someone is selling a product (a store, restaurant, person on ePay, etc)
- that product costs some sort of money to get (building cost, fixing cost, employee cost, food cost, storage, etc)
- when that person sells it, they must make up that cost plus some extra...think of a pawn shop, they need to buy the item for less than what they can sell it for plus overhead... or a restaurant, the food cost plus the cooks, plus gas for the stove, plus plates to serve it on, etc needs to be considered in the meal's price
- a flipper buys a pin....does it need work, do they add extras, travel/shipping costs
- when they sell it (whether its a week later or two years later), they need to make some extra
- a flipper takes all the risk... does the game smoke and melt when they power it up the next day, does it get damaged when moving, etc
- if someone marks up the price, who cares? If they don't sell it, its their cash being held up and the price will adjust accordingly

It's always those damned longhairs and their rock-n-roll causin' the problems. Kids these days...bah humbug

If I do the work people don't hide behind the "Unknown" claim! My name is on the game in more than one place! FOOL! Alex is clueless and actually knows very little about pinball, plus add the fact that when he posts both feet end up in his mouth!! Then hides for a couple days and has to pop up again to do the same trick. My point about asking whom did the work is material to value. If Alex did the work it's worth much less then if you've got a machine that was actually restored. Grabbing a routed machine and changing cabinets doesn't qualify as "restored" or HUO! Much more of a deceptive practice that's used to clearly hiding wear and tear! BTW how's that chrome and powder coat working for people?

Yep, it was definitely worth more than $10,500.00, but when you have a high dollar pin, it is simply going to take more than a few days to sell even at a good price. At least you got a BIB LE out of it!

I'm happy!

Edit: never mind.

Rommy does not participate in capitalism. He is going to see to it that ALL Pinsiders have a collection that is equal in value to his. Warn a new collector that has $11000 to spend on a toy? Sounds like someone who can fend for himself. No list needed.

I've bough two pins from Tony and have no complaints at all.

such a nice community

I just don't get all the bashing over price
If you don't like the price - move on
