    Quoted from harrisrwe:

    When finding a furry date and selling your pinball machine needs to happen in a single day!

    WTH? Bonus points for creativity though.

    Quoted from dfrazer:

    Totally agree; when DO these people give up? This one is just around the 3 1/2 year mark: rochester.craigslist.org link

    WTF make an offer, he'd probably take 20 bucks!!

    I'd show up in a gorilla suit to load it.

    thought the spare tire under the table was a nice touch.
    free play is even installed!!

    #5455 6 years ago

    someone should ask if the tire comes with the pin (and if so, what is the make and model of the tire, how many miles are on it, etc...) and how much it would cost to get free play uninstalled

    Well for 10k, you should be appreciative that he spent all of that extra money on that expensive free play mech and paid someone to intsall it.

    #5461 6 years ago

    Maybe he had an add a credit button drilled into the coin door like some of the older SS machines that I've seen.

    #5462 6 years ago

    Forgive me for thinking that for $4100, your F14 would actually work.

    #5463 6 years ago

    $16,500 for a BIG BANG BAR ... i have heard of asking prices of $20K+ is this reasonable?

    I think that this machine is listed in the Pinside market place right now. Seems reasonable to me if you don't fear the remake.

    #5466 6 years ago

    LOL

    Hey don't judge.

    A lot of us use a razor blade to scrape that pesky artwork off the backglass when we restore our pins.

    #5467 6 years ago
    Quoted from Beatnik-Filmstar:

    "restored"

    It makes me cringe just looking at it. Although I am tempted to make an offer...

    #5468 6 years ago

    I think i have a decent backglass laying around

    Make that one dollar short of $4200

    Quoted from amkoepfer:

    There's a Laserball bg on Mr. Pinball right now for $100...

    #5471 6 years ago

    Then mine is for sale for 99.98! Or less if someone needs it

    #5472 6 years ago

    I saw this one last night and was going to post it here. Unreal.

    #5473 6 years ago

    I have a laser ball backglass That’s not mint but way better then what was in that game. If someone picked it up and needs a glass pm me for more info

    #5474 6 years ago

    It cracks me up when I see these side by side.

    Its actually not that bad.

    Definitely got a good start on it.

    #5478 6 years ago

    Even the most basic coat of black paint would make it look 200% better. Or sobering up before carving that foam around the steering wheel.

    Yup scam. The email address within the ad itself is usually a big clue. They leave out the @ and periods in the address to get around anti-spam/scam mechanisms craigslist has in place.

    Funny how Image #4 has a price tag of only $995....

    #5484 6 years ago

    Pinside even got called out on this one! hahahaha!

    "Like I said, I paid $3,000 for this pinball machine over 4 years ago, so I will not consider ANY offers less than $3,000....I don't care how much money "pin-side.com" says this game is worth. If you want a super-nice TMNT pinball machine but only want to pay $1,500...then go find that one and buy it ASAP!

    If you are interested, then make me an offer...but please don't even waste my time telling me to research this pinball on "pin-side.com"

    I guess he could go by last years Ebay sales summary.

    The dashboard ashtray is a nice touch. Wouldn't take the corners too fast though.

    I found this on ebay. kinda expensive for a high speed 2. It's the best one of the bunch. ebay.com link: Awesome Complete collection of 40 Arcade Games Pinballs to LAUNCH your Barcade

    Whew. There's no chance that those games, bought individually, would average out at about $2.5k a piece.

    Of their location in Italy!

    #5494 6 years ago
    Quoted from cavalier88z24:

    here's a interesting listing I found on ebay. ebay.com link » 180 Pinball Machine Flipper Bally Stern Sega Williams Data East Games Of Thrones

    $300k for 180 pins is $1666.66 per pin. The titles listed all average well over that. According to what the "non-listed" titles are, it could be a good buy.

    #5495 6 years ago
    Quoted from PinPilot:

    $300k for 180 pins is $1666.66 per pin. The titles listed all average well over that. According to what the "non-listed" titles are, it could be a good buy.

    let's all pool all of our money together and buy the lot!

    Those are likely mostly beaters and heavily routed European games that aren't even close to fully functional. I think the seller has posted a few times on pinside.

    The days of finding gems and bargains among container re-imports are basically gone.

    How does that dolly even work? And how is it "adjustable"?

    It look just like any other Addam's Ive seen.

    #5499 6 years ago

    That dolly is a great idea! I move my machines around a lot to spread them out for league night. It's only short distances and my HF cart takes a lot of work to move machines like that.

    Slide this dolly under a machine, lift the handle and move, brilliant. It is adjustable because it should lift machines of different heights pretty easily.
