Woke up this morning,went to the computer and checked Mr Pinball Classified.First thing pops up is an Attack From Mars in nice condition for $4500.00,Madison Va.I called as soon as I saw the ad [ 7:30]and it was already sold to someone in Ky.This is killing me because one the price,two it was in nice condition and three it was 10 minutes from my house.Congrats to someone in Kentucky.

ATF? What game is that?

now it says AFM, it was ATF. Someone changed it.

Now an ATF pinball machine would be crazy.

You should blame Mr Pinball and the delayed for 3 days crap. Yes I get it, it's free and all but that system for posting sucks! I doubt mr pinball is where the actual buyer saw it for sale in the first place.

The ATF's debacles are endless.. the fast and the furious, waco, ruby ridge. Janet Reno's head on the backglass like Arnold on LAH.

Good thing I had a mis-spelling or I wouldn't have any responses.

I people start calling me at 6am, I am going to put them at the bottom of the list. 7 is pushing it, 7:30 - 9 pm is the standard unless posted otherwise. I have guys call me until midnight but they know me, anybody else and that is a foul.

I have been seeing many for 35-4500 lately. Just be patient another will pop up.

I picked up a really nice one a couple months ago for $4K. Didn't care for it so traded it off. The same guy had a MB for the same price. Might hit him up again when I have more pin funds.

All the other pins Ive gotten,it was at least a day trip to get.It is just so rare that a pin like this would come up for sale in my own neighborhood.

#16 11 years ago

Well, since the 8k AFM that sold within the past year or so justified the new "market level" for AFMs back then, then I guess this sale would represent the new market level now. $4500...or does it only count when the price goes higher?

#17 11 years ago

I saw this AFM posted too and thought it was a BS ad. That'll teach me to think the worst possible scenario.

I was lucky and picked mine up for 1,500 8 months ago, believe it or not found it at a city wide garage sale sitting in the corner of a persons garage with dust all over it

That's even better than how I did. Summer of 2011 bought one from an op with a good head, very good playfield and faded cabinet for $2800.
