Quoted from CrazyLevi:You are trying to sell a Time Warp one of the worst and least desirable or sought-after pinball machines of all time

Tell us how you really feel though.

OP Time Warp with its "banana flippers" is a great game that has a killer art package and a pf layout that was unique at the time and still fun to shoot today. I haven't seen your ad but if its not selling its not because its one of the worse pins out there.

Quoted from grantopia:

Beat me to it ha.

Prices keep going up and people keep paying them. You have people plopping down 13K on Bond LEs and in the same breath complaining there is no code yet and how the release has been a mess. People are lining up to buy an Elwin Bond they haven't seen yet for $20K+. The "market value" of most of my games is up 50%+ since I got them. Not exactly what I would call "softening".

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

Can't argue opinion. But would you at least agree with the "one of the least sought after or desirable" parts of my diatribe?
There's a shitty Time Warp on every goddamn Craigslist on the planet. There's 4 of them at every pinball flea market and show. There has never been a world where the going rate for a beater Time Warp with issues is anywhere near four digits.
Regardless of your opinion of the game, I think you'd agree the lack of interest in his ad has zero to do with the flaccidity or rigidity of the market and everything to do with the fact that it's a Time Warp.

I agree with your last statement for sure. And certainly with the craziness that grantopia posted. Many pin heads are still and have been paying ridiculous prices for quite some time.

SSSHHHHHHH. It might go to his head. Too big..Too big....He floats away.
