That's a beautiful collection. I would find somebody who loves and appreciate these machines instead of selling them to a dealer or something. Maybe find some room for 1 or 2 machines yourself. This is super nice stuff you will not be able to find soon in this condition. No idea of value. Good luck

I agree. Maybe hang on to one or two. They look to be in very nice condition.

Get better old relatives.

Thanks Uncle Lloyd...

I’m sure there is somone here who would be. Post in the California for sale thread. You can’t post pictures there and referencing this thread might be a nono (pinside wants forsale ads)... but it would get local eyes on it as lots of folks from socal in that thread.

Edit: If you post this as a classified you can certainly link to it there.

I personally would love that pitch and bat but I’m about 6 hours away and I imagine your trying to sell it all together.

You say you live thousands of miles away. Are the games in San Diego, or do you live there? If that's where you live, where are the games located? That could be very important, especially if you're looking for someone to pick it up rather than having to ship it.

Oh good eye... I read that as the games were in San Diego... maybe they aren’t?

That manikin bowler is really cool! Im sure someone would buy the whole collection pretty quick

How much for the wallpaper?

Lovely collection, whomever you inherited it from was hella cool. Sorry for your loss. But congrats on your windfall of collectibles & glws!

That Bally Beauty looks freaking cool as heck. Nice collection. Some lucky buyer will get some nice stuff.

I'm sorry for your loss.

If you're trying to get out of this quickly, I would look into getting those games to Captains Auction Warehouse in Anaheim. You'd get a fair price, I think, and they would be able to store until the next auction.

Pacific Pinball Museum (Alameda, near Oakland) or the Museum of Pinball (Banning, closer to you), would take this stuff if you want the tax deduction.

All of those pieces look really beautiful, and I hope you find them good homes.

Beautiful. Sorry for your loss. If I lived closer I’d drive over. My wife would love the play ball.

Sorry to hear of your loss.

These games have a certain value which may or may not be much greater than what you think they are worth. If you need to sell quickly just remember that you will get a fraction of what you would get if you took your time (like many things, time = money). Selling them in a lot instead of separately will reduce the total by a great amount. You will be contacted by many who will offer you somewhere between 5% and 100% of what they are worth so keep this in mind (but won't know what that number is until you do more research).

My advice would be to start a new thread here on pinside for one of the items (with lots of pictures from every angle) and simply ask for an estimate of what the item is worth. Then do the next one. This will give you an estimate of what they are worth becaus there are a number of honest people that frequent this site.

Then you will at least be in a position to know (if you have to sell quickly) how much it will be costing you. Also may be better to put into storage for some time including having them moved to you home town first so you don't make rash decisions and lose much more than what you might think.

The first one, Ten Strikes is for sure worth thousands just on its own but I'm not sure how many thousands that is since outside of my are of expertise. I would start a thread to ask value of that one first.

That is the same one, and it is the OPs listing.

Hah that's funny lol! Didn't even check that. So it's simultaneously in rough and very nice condition -My Bad
