I would appreciate opinions on what to sell, I desperately need to make some space!
Based on Title alone which 4 of these would you sell off first.
Silverball Mania
Sky Jump
Spirit of 76
Stern Galaxy
Stern Meteor
Firepower
Nip It
Class of 1812
Bally Playboy
Space Shuttle
Black Hole
Batman Forever
Getaway HSII
Addams Family
WOZ ECLE
I just can't seem to let any go...
Thanks in advance!
Tom
I would sell these 4:
Stern Meteor
Nip It
Bally Playboy
Black Hole
But again, that is just my own personal preference...
Its really simple. What do you play the least? I don't care how much I like a game, if I don't play it, its on the chopping block.
There, solved

make it easier and start from 2 ends deciding what to keep and what can go.
I personally would sell
Sky Jump
Spirit of 76
Nip It
Bally Playboy
Thanks for the input from you all, good ideas here. I think I really need to sit down and think about which pins are played the least...
Thanks Brenna98, good point made, only I can decide... It's just so hard! I have had a few emails with offers already! That's good but so far for the games I'm thinking will not be going... Oh boy this will be hard...
Thanks again,
Tom
You have four early Bally/Sterns, 4 LCD/DMD, 3 EMs, 3 early Williams, and 2 early Gottliebs. Whatever you get, you could replace something similar. You could also get rid of games that are plentiful in case you want to buy another one.
My choices would be
Playboy
Galaxy
Spirit of 76
Getaway
If you can, loan a pin to a friend for 6-12 months. When you get it back, play it for a few weeks and see if you still like it enough to keep it. Trial separation, I call it.
PLayboy - one of the worst late 70s Ballys to play. Hate the stop and go nature of it and the sound blows.
Woz - one of the worst games ever made
Batman - one of the second worst games ever made
Nip it - terrible game even with the novelty factor. Something people get when they can't find a Fireball but it's not in the same ballpark. Fifteen years of seeing greedy eBay idiots trying to get top dollar for it because it's "THE FONZ'S PINBALL!!!" has made me hate it even more.
dishonorable mention - Class of 1812. I can't honestly diss it since I haven't played it in 20 years...but it's gotta be bad, right? Most of those Gottliebs are.
Quoted from Breaking_Dad:I will NEVER let a pin go...!!!....keep em all......make it happen...!!!.............Joey
Easy to say when you have 2 pins but by the time you get 20 or over it time to let some go.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:Woz - one of the worst games ever made
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA... ok Im done.
No way...kids rooms...wether they move out or not...garage...neighbors...Moms house and garage....where there's a will...there's a way... 
...........Joey
Quoted from cantbfrank:Why do you have to sell?
It's either because of the wife or because of the wife.
or maybe he needs the space.
Probably the wife.
Quoted from dmbjunky:You really hate EMs, don't you?
nope, I actually reallt like some EMs, just not those.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:It's either because of the wife or because of the wife.
or maybe he needs the space.
Probably the wife.
No not the wife, I'm a widower, that's how I got so many games. She would NEVER allow them in the living room (4) and Kitchen (2) and guest bedroom (1). The rest in the basement she didn't mind cause it kept me out of her hair for a while in the mancave but when she passed I buried myself in Pins because now it's my space and I can do whatever I want! Problem is I now want my space back at least the living room and kitchen... Starting to get some ideas here and will post my final pics over the weekend perhaps a nice project for the snowstorm tomorrow... Thanks again for the feedback, it really helps to hear other peoples thoughts...

Quoted from dmbjunky:You really hate EMs, don't you?
Guess it depends on where you're from, but i see these titles come up often enough around me. Would be the easiest to replace.

Now you are making the two people who upvoted me feel bad!
Quoted from CrazyLevi:Now you are making the two people who upvoted me feel bad!
No problem, it's been almost 5 years and I'm starting to feel human again! That's the only bummer...humans suck! Why can't I be a dog...
Quoted from cantbfrank:Why do you have to sell?
I like your question...with some reaaranging I could fit them all in the basement except maybe the one in the breakfast nook of the kitchen, and the one in the guest room which I don't mind there... hmmm... I may just keep them all!
I hope that wouldn't offend anyone! I didn't say I was selling them I just asked which 4 you would sell first!
OMG, I have a serious problem if I can't sell a few of these... What to do, I may need to drink on this one!!!!!
That plan is in place and I'll go from there!!!! Since it's Friday that's a no brainer right!!!???

Problem is, we haven't all played all of these and can't make informed decisions...
You're going to need to make a post on the pinball party subforum, I think :p
Quoted from belairjoe:I would sell me the black hole or the spirit of 76..then pizza and beer
Sell him the Spirit of '76 and me the Black Hole.
Then you're halfway there!
Put them all up for sale and the first four that sell are the ones that leave. That way you clear up some space quicker.
Just flip this over and pick the 11 you want to KEEP. I find that makes it easier. So take 11 of something, and then go play your games. Place that sheet of paper (or whatever) on the machines you are keeping. With only 11 to go around, the easy ones get it quickly. So then you will end up with 8 games and 4 sheets of paper. Then it is just a matter of really asking which game you like better. Those last 4 spots will be won, and the games without the sheet of paper get sold.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:Woz - one of the best games ever made
I fixed that for you. Seriously, you've just lost any credibility that you had before that crazy statement.
I'll play! I love lists! With no other factors to go on, I would axe:
1-Spirit of 76
2-Black Hole
3-Galaxy
4-WoZ

I like this plan, thanks!!!
Quoted from jackd104:Not to hijack your thread but I'm in the same boat. Only have room for four and my lineup is TAF, FH, TZ, and TSPP. I want something fresh but can't bring myself to give up any of these titles
I would have trouble letting any of those go as well, I'm looking at taking it down and only selling 2 games now...
I have a problem with letting any of them go!
Tom
If they were mine I would sell in order, top first:
Silverball Mania
Sky Jump
Spirit of 76
Bally Playboy
Nip It
Stern Meteor
Black Hole
Firepower (depending on condition)

Tom
And it begins. You have gone from selling 4, to selling 2. Next stop selling none, and the end of the line, 4 new games. You may as well just buy them now
Quoted from Pimp77:Woz is a terrible game.
Couldn't agree more. Thanks for the backup bro!
ps I don't think we do the "fixed it for you" thing on pinside but I might be wrong. Things would get confusing fast.
Wow this is harder then I thought, but since you asked....I've come up with eight games you should get rid of according to my personal taste. Pick any four out of these eight and there you go....or if it were me I'd get rid of all eight. 
Silverball Mania
Sky Jump
Spirit of 76
Stern Galaxy
Stern Meteor
Firepower
Space Shuttle
Addams Family
