Quoted from Erik:Dibs on futurepinhead's floor
Anyone taking pins to sell? Where's Buddy?
Problem last year was no buyers...
Quoted from Vongoosewink:There were plenty of buyers last year, I saw many games being sold all weekend. Just in my little group, I sold an arcade game, and one of my friends who went with me purchased a pin.
In my opinion, if sellers had trouble selling stuff, it was because their games were priced too high. It is unrealistic to expect top-dollar 'ebay' prices at a regional show.
The pins our group had for sale were not priced at ebay prices. The year before I sold 4 of 5 games - pretty quickly as well, but last year the pins my friends had for sale sat around and got low ball offers. OH show is the steadfast show for selling. I think I know who you guys are referring to with the high prices. He had something like 10 games for sale.

Quoted from chuckwurt:Just got my tickets, and booked a room! This will be my first ever pinball show/tournament. I had a question:
What should I expect for the tournaments that are being held? A,B,C divisions and Classics? what are the buy-ins, and if I come down Saturday afternoon, when will the qualifying rounds be over?
Cannot wait to get my first taste of a pinball tournament.
Prepare to see some world class competitors here. A, B, C and classics. You get some free entry tickets when you pay to get in, but I can't remember how much additional tickets were. Not sure when the closed the tourney as well, but I think it was Sat morning. Phoebe would know

A wishlist for some games - in no hurry, but if a good deal comes up I'm interested - may have some trade options as well:
Restorable FH - can have a trashed pf - cab must be solid w/no water damage and minimal rust inside cab.
Transformers LE - HUO preferred - no combo's please
Metallica Pro
Tron Pro

Quoted from goingincirclez:OK, so some games are brought in for general free play, and others are set up for tournament only? Confirm?
If that's the case that seems fair, we could live with that. Though with my luck the titles we're interested in will still be tourney-only, ha ha.
I'm looking forward to it. I have 10 and 7 yo daughters who are arguable more familiar with the NES, SNES, and '79 Intellivision than they are anything from Sony and Microsoft I liked my PS2 and 3, but these days I'm stuck in the past. So are my sibs when they visit.
Last year totaled about 120 games if I remember right with the tourney games. Plenty of games on freeplay

See everyone there!

I need someone to bring a transformers for me to buy 
Quoted from homebrood:Is it worth going on Thursday night setup night if you aren't bringing a game.
Do they let people play the games that night at all?
Tom
No - you only go in if you are setting up a game. Same with early Fri.
Just doing some final tweaking now on POTC. Turned out pretty damn nice...
IMG_5282.JPGGetting ready to head out now. POTC is loaded and ready. See everyone there.

Quoted from winteriscoming:Power had been cut before I got to check end of show audits on JP, and I just got it set back up at home. It had 586 total plays.
I had cleared the audits before the expo, but forgot to clear scores. I was very surprised to see that all the high scores were still mine... and I'm not even good. We're talking some that are less than 200 million up there and my lifetime high of 500 something million. Granted, I earned my scores after hours of continuous play while most people at the expo, with the exception of those jerks who purposefully start 4 player games when there's clearly a line behind them, get one game in before having to let the next person play.
I wanted to give a big shout out to LouMatt for helping me unload JP, and futurepinhead and his cousin for helping me set up.
Surprised to see you pull the head off to load it - that is dedication if that is what you have to do to move a game.
