    I am just curious How much people have spent for everything in there game rooms. I have spent 200 for counterforce, 200 for fpII, 200 for raven, 25 for globetrotters, 60 for Alien, and 120 for elektra. So Im at a total of 905 dollars for my WHOLE collection. Ive also spent 250 on crusin exotica, 500 for a multicade, 100 for a ms pac. nothing for a World series baseball 99. 125 for a lethal enforcers and 100 for a chase Hq. So for everything ive spent 1975. Not bad for a college kid eh? I dont even have a job. I just buy and sell EM games to feed my solid state habits.

    will hopefully be scoring a Data East Lethal Weapon 3 and William's Fish Tales for $2300. thats the best deal i've had but i've heard of some ridiculously cheap bundle price stories.

    #4 12 years ago

    A lot more than I like to admit.

    #5 12 years ago

    $6,010, that includes Defender and house of the dead arcades. The numbers are going to be all over the place with different conditions. I did not include the $6500 plus shipping for the WOZ on the way.

    Lost World $800 Comet $600 Viking $250 Elektra $300 Paragon $650 Judge Dredd $1600 the Viking was the best deal its in amazing condition

    66' williams Casanova 350$
    96 sega space jam 1100$
    94 demolition man 1300$
    00' sharkey's shootout 1200$

    thats just what i've got at home now. you may have spent a lot less, but i guarantee that my machines are THAT much better

    I am definitely with gweem on this one...
    Now Tatman's setup on the other hand, should be an interesting #!

    I did make $4400 on the TZ I just sold minus some minor plastics etc .. but I wish I didn't have to sell it. He's given up on my Medusa and prototype backglass and now offering on my CV. Last offer on the CV was $5500 (HUO only .. fully modded and LED'd).

    Wow! Do you clip coupons? you should wright on Book called " A Gameroom on a Budget"

    Not bad for a kid without a job....i have a feeling when you do have a job you will be spending a lot more. And I also bet your having just as much fun as someone who paid 10 times that.

    My BEST Pin Deal was on a 1-Owner HUO Highspeed . I went to a house to give an estimate on Tile-n a Master bath , I saw a HS and a Dedicated Galaga.. He said the HS hasn't worked for 2 yr's and the Galaga 3 yr's.. I gave him $ 100.00 for HS and $ 50.00 for the Galaga.
    The p/f was Beautiful,, It had NO Mylar Bubbles or Wear ( anywhere ) 4-Real !!!!
    I took the Pin to Jack, he traded me a working Power board for my Non- working 1 plus I gave him $ 30.00 .. The Galaga needed a Peter Chow Power supply , Jack had 1- too $ 50.00 .. And i bought a 1-Owner MB for $ 3100.00 .And this 3-n-1 Combo deal Was the BEST EVER . 2-HD's and my 2nd BR-- ?---$$---? . That's ALL i'm Gonna confess up too .. Sometime's TOO Much info can get ya into Trouble.. But 142 Pin's now since May of 2008 ,, I've Done OK !!!

    Actually, I was hired today pin budget has gone thru the roof. I do think that I am having just as much fun as someone who payed 10 times that. I might be having more because I lowball everyone. I love getting yelled at LOL. Ive had people threaten me and ive had people sell to me.Its a 2 way street. SORRY IF IVE ANNOYED ANY PINSIDERs LOWBALLING.

    Best Deal?
    Sopranos for 900 or SP for 800 with a 350 pinball mover thrown in.

    In one year (Literally) I spent waaaaaaaaaaaay too much. I could have paid off my new car. The worst is how much I LOST....... Not cool but, I wanted to try many machines. So be it.
    I have too much $$$ sitting next to me just in these 3. All the mods or add-ons .......
    It's crazy even for me to look at my collection history to think I did all of that in a year. SCARY

    #16 12 years ago

    Way too much and when LEDS came around it took the biggest chunk.

    #17 12 years ago

    If I swapped 142 pins in three years, I would not have any friends left.

    Why do people get offened at lowball offers? It makes it easier to say no.

    #18 12 years ago

    Too much, but compared to shelling out $6500 for ONE WOZ it doesn't seem so bad.

    #19 12 years ago

    Too much and I still have a WOZ on the way (along with a few more payments)...

    I have a big spending problem when it comes to pinball. I have been collecting pins for 2 1/2 years and have spent more then $100,000 on pins the game room, video games,parts. I have 17 pins and have had at lease 10 others. It never ends there is always some thing I want. I have slowed down in the last 6 months.

    #22 12 years ago

    I have three pins and two arcade machines and i'm into it for $3000

    #23 12 years ago

    $1350 for No Fear (Excellent PF - only problem is shooter wear, cabinet has some damage)

    $3100 + 200 in parts/etc for TZ (Great PF, minor wear, nothing serious, perfect cabinet/backglass)

    4650, then. I should sell the No Fear, or trade it + cash for something better (anyone wanna buy my No Fear in the boston area? )
