Sell and your close to getting both.

With the price of ss going up you will have to put some cash in with it.

Its hard to say fair trade or not. i consider a fair trade when both parties are happy with the deal as value is hard thing to place on a pin. some times what seems a good value is not so good when it gets home. Some times we over look things in all the excitement of the deal. all three mentioned pins are great games. as you are interested in the shadow and scared stiff i am sure some one is very interested in the TOTAN. i personaly have been considering selling my Strange Science to accuire a shadow or a BSD. I love my strange science but some times change is good! GLWT/S

You are more experienced than I am, but what are the odds? What are the odds that someone has both Scared Stiff and Shadow and odds that he would be bored of them both and odds that he would want to make the trade and is the person local and if not ship the pins to you.

Better to sell and have the funds to hunt for your choices. All awesome pins and sir, your collection is impeccable.

That TOTAN is worth a lot of money in today's market. I would have bought it from you myself if I hadn't just bought one in less pristine condition.

Due to recent uptick in popularity I would say sell it outright and buy.

Is Totan really worth that much? I thought SS had gone stupid high, and Totan had been pretty stagnant lately.

Sell TOTAN and then buy, although I'm guessing you'll be short yet.

Oh, the sex thing was funny and I never heard someone mention pinball and sex like that before. That was supposed to be the suprised face. Mabey not? I didn't get the feeling you thought my "odds" thing was stupid at all.
Pinball is different than most other collectables in that you can play what you collect. In hobbies, including pinball, you spend time learning, researching what to add to your collection next and spend time locating the next part or piece to purchase. Most hobbies someone buys something and puts it behind glass or up on the shelf for display, but not pinball! You fix, tinker with, adjust and play. Sometimes we can think about and research too much about pinball and forget to play it. Easy fix though just turn it on and play for an hour or so. That is why I choose to have a pinball sitting in my house rather than have a graded baseball card sealed forever in a plastic case sitting in a box in my home safe. Lame!
I gave the opinion on the sell than hunt for the two pins also because the hunt is an adventure and half the fun. I spend alot of time thinking what pin I am going to try to get next and what one after that. I have learned you have to be ready to jump if a good pin comes up locally at a fair price. Then again if you are spending too much time hunting you won't be playing.
Cheers.

Don't have a Shadow, but I might be interested in trading my HUO SS for it. Depends on where you are located.

I think the more realistic goal would be to get one of those two and some cash back.

I don't know, if that TOTAN is as nice as he says it is. No reason he can't get both nice players version of the 2 games he wants. SS isn't as high as people think it is. It's always been a middle of the road game as far as prices go. Right around STTNG range but a little higher.

Neo STTNG pricing ($1500) or real world pricing?

STTNG was never 1500. It's usually around 2000-2400. On pinside..who knows.

Sell TOTAN and get Shadow.

I have not seen one in that price range for a long time.

Unless it was a project STTNG.
