4 games pictured for $100,000 seller states: "I'm not giving them away"
That is former pinsider radrog and he had 10 machines even made threads about how he had 10 of the best machines.I remember his pictures because I was going to go there and play and after a few more post by him I changed my mind.

Will accept any decent offer but not stupid.

Interesting ad. Legit? Someone have bills to pay? Scam?

$10K by Christmas
Quoted from DropTarget:$5000.00. Am I missing something?
The $4500 in the coinbox.
Quoted from DropTarget:Bally Playboy anyone?
Is that Hugh's Skull being used as a topper?
Quoted from ToucanF16:It WAS functioning or IS functioning. I’m confused!
They were all functioning at one time so a true statement.
Quoted from ToucanF16:It WAS functioning or IS functioning. I’m confused!
Also, he states "all original." So in if it was original, then it is functioning....or did it leave the factory not working? Assuming it is all original, and functioning with the molex connectors disconnected, then we have an engineering marvel! I'm confused.
I’ve actually showed up to quite a few houses where they said nonworking and I noticed connectors off. In the old days, I would reconnect them and show them that it worked. But then they would try to up the price. These days, that’s a load and go situation.

Yup, same thing when buying cars. Never offer an opinion as to the problem either.

Hell yes.
Quoted from DropTarget:I may have to go see it in person
I emailed to see if the "backglass" lights were working. No response!
Quoted from Puffdanny:Cuz fuck this game

Dude overpaid for it... (and I say that as a happy GB Premium owner and fan).

Yeah dude was very strange and I got the impression he came into a large sum of money and promptly blew it all on shiny things then got upset that he couldn’t continue to spend at that level once it was all gone and also because he wasn’t getting the respect he (felt he) deserved on Pinside...
I was going to buy his MB but communications were so erratic and bizarre that I passed and am now extremely glad I will be getting a much cheaper and better MBr LE instead.
Also, I suspect some of his games have been stored in an unheated garage with some temperature swings due to rotating in and out of house (though he probably stopped doing that once his interest in pinball peaked and maybe they have been sitting in that lineup since he quit Pinside?).
Quoted from Colsond3:WTF? Guy just responded to one of my emails. What the hell is all the stuff about Blue Jays under his sign off? Odd. Even if he does get back to me, I don’t think I’ll be picking that game up.

Sounds like like Michael is a real flight hazard! What a piece of work!
Quoted from cutlerkeith:It is Ted Nugent so it is really valuable. Which one do you get?

Haha,didn’t know 60s pins had electronic scoring! And I bet it looks just like the one set up on the photo!
Quoted from DropTarget:I'm about 20 minutes away. I could check it out.
Please do and report back!
This is my favorite. This guy took a perfectly nice Alien Star (which are rare enough as it is) and rethemed it based on his webcomic. He listed it months ago for something like $1,200, then gradually lowered the price to $700. It sat there for months and no one bought it. So he took down the listing and relisted it at $1,375, which is about $400 more than most people would spend on a nice Alien Star. Frankly, I admire his audacity.

too late. my schedule has changed. I won't have time. I'm always curious about those types of listings though

When I see people re-theme a game that is less then 2000 made, a little piece of me dies. especially when it's a game I'm looking for.
Quoted from D-Gottlieb:A pricey TSPP with no mods.
[quoted image]
Wow! And only 6000 made
I want to make an offer on the Elvis pinball. Not sure how much. Doesn't look like it has any rust. I'm a diehard Elvis collector. First time I've ever seen one of his balls come up for sale. Maybe $8000 and see what he says? Wonder if he'll include shipping?
Any time one of these is listed in a section other than "free shit" it's ripe for this thread.
Low hanging fruit, but a $500 Star Explorer if you're inclined.

Quoted from balt:This has been gracing my Craigslist search in Chicago for months. I'm tempted to buy it just to make it go away.

And then trade it for a clown head?
