What kind of a deal can you give me on that No Fear drop zone plastic?

cut me a deal on the diner translite and taxi ramp with shipping to Nevada?

Really?

Thats what it looks like from here? maybe its a mirage?

195 bucks for a translite is moronic.

Yep, and say JD is roughly a $2K pin. Then 10% of your machine is translite. Makes sense right - No

I bought some parts from Keith recently (Flintstones plastics, Scared Stiff parts) and they arrived quickly, were well packaged, and shipping was combined.

Keith's been around pinball for a long time, although he is new to pinside I believe.

I've been doing business with Keith for a long, long time. He's a great seller to deal with.

Good luck Keith!

I'm just a lowly 2 pin collection owner with no idea what I'm talking about. Guess I should go see my first rodeo.

Edit: I'm done with this - people will see it for what it is.

ok now everyone hug and make up.. time to play nice.

It says "Or best offer". So I guess it's time for the Price Police to go back to the station.

I sympathize with your comment, lotsapins. I've see some members on this forum state what they think the price of a certain pin should be. Then I look at the market page and see that same pin, not just for sale, but having been sold for a price that's considerably higher than the proclaimed "expert's" suggested price, more often than not.

I've said this before and I'll say it again. The selling price of any item in an open market is the purchasing price the buyer is willing to pay. It's a matter of one's ability to do their homework and decide for themselves what the item is worth to them, not somebody who's not buying the item (auction prices set a good example). If the buyer feels the price is too high, he can either dicker or not buy. It's that simple.

Even smart people do moronic things occasionally. I'm just saying pricing a USED Judge Dredd translite higher than NOS plastic sets for 4k+ games is a little nuts.....the plastics prices on there are very reasonable. I tell you I paid way more than that for a set of STTNG plastics that were re-screens, not NOS original....

where can i buy one for less frax?

If the price is too high, don't buy it. There's no reason to lament over it, or comment that the seller's price is out of reason. Just don't buy it. He will either agree, and adjust it appropriately, or decide to keep it, if it's worth more to him than it is to you.

That was the worst leap of logic... lack of supply doesn't mean infinite demand exists. Case in point:

I'm putting my Jet Spin on ebay for 4 grand. Since there's not another one *currently* available, I have every right to ask that for a beat up game with taupe paint all over it and pretty big playfield wear, and oh yeah it doesn't score correctly either. Since there's not another one available, it's worth whatever I price it at, right?

As for where to get another one...well...SOMEONE got one from a Judge Dredd dumped on a curb here in Dallas about a month and a half ago, along with the playfield and one of the four legs. Wasn't me though. Here's a better example... auctioned in May, sold for 107 with free shipping.... NOS.

I'll leave your thread now. I've said my piece, and made my point.

The ebay links don't work for me for some reason

Yeah. I dont get this price bashing thing. If you dont want to pay the price asked make an offer or just dont buy it. Wait for the right deal for you to come along.
Anyone got any blackwater bits?

Hey lotsapins

You don't happen to have any more flintstones plastics lying around that you'd like to sell, do you?
I'm missing the top right plastic that goes to the right of the pop bumpers.
I believe it has a plastic post w/ rubber on top of it so the ball doesn't jump into the right orbit.

Found this with a thread search for "plastics", way too many hits to read through quickly, but I'll try to go over a lot more of this as time permits.

lotsapins, I have bookmarked your link for future reference.

After noticing some plastics sets listed as "Out of Stock" at Marco and elsewhere, my immediate question was going to be: other than looking on eBay (or here), what supplier companies are to repro plastics as CPR is to playfields ? I think I may have seen one or two such mentioned here, but did not make note of them at the time. And then, the title of a few threads seems to indicate that CPR may be making some replacement plastics themselves ?

[EDIT: Whoa, I had no idea that CPR had gone into this so heavily. Good to see some companies stepping up here . . . although some good sets shown there are Sold Out.]

Anyway, I'm trying to work up a 'Go To' list for certain item categories. Having more places to look is always better. (In the case of EMs, older stuff, Gottliebs etc., I'm already acquainted with PBR.)
