    Quoted from toyotaboy:

    "This machine is very rare and was made only in 1983"
    How long do people think pinball machines are manufactured? Before Stern started running vault editions, 3-6 months tops.

    Only 1,750 produced, better snatch this up while it only 4 digits in price!

    #1152 8 years ago
    Quoted from Mikala:

    $9k for Wheel of. Fortune. That guy is a clueless dumbass!
    Just out of curiosity, what is the going rate for this machine? I am a EM guy and just want to know how much of a dumbass this guy is, since he KNOWS so much about pinball.

    Probably 2,500 to 3k

    The joke is where he came up with $500 if he knows nothing about it other than "Looks collectible"

    But, What pin is this?

    "This is an old arcade machine that has been in the entrance of my house for a really long time. Its an old arcade machine i know nothing of it but it looks collectible. Not sure of the working condition and its pretty worn down as well due to age. I cannot ship so you would have to arrange a time to come view the pinball and pick it up yourself. Pinball is sold as is. Feel free to text me or email me through craiglist. Thank you!"

    I'd be tempted to go look at it, just to see what it might be.

    #1155 8 years ago

    Star Battle, sort of rare according to IPDB

    $1900 for a bingo machine. Hurry and make an appointment before this gets away!

    #1162 8 years ago
    Quoted from toyotaboy:

    $1900 for a bingo machine. Hurry and make an appointment before this gets away!

    That thing has been for sale for at least a couple of years and it's been the same price since the first time it was posted. You'd think he'd get the clue when nobody responds to the ad...

    #1163 8 years ago

    $2500 for a three legged Kiss Machine that needs work....maybe it is the 2015 one? JK

    philadelphia.craigslist.org link

    #1164 8 years ago

    Let me get this straight, Missing a leg, needs work, want's $2500 and he can't post any pictures? Sounds legit.

    Need an AFM jacket? Be the envy of all your pinhead friends. Only $325 (almost the price of a color DMD)

    Attack From Mars Promotional Jacket. New, never worn. Can arrange local pickup or will ship (buyer pays shipping)

    That's actually sort of neat (never worn I call BS), but cool, just not quite $325 cool. If you were a die-hard fan of the game..

    I saw that one the other day, worth the laugh. Must not be too calloused up as he typed all that.

    Another "it's just a fuse" pin.

    Somehow I don't believe that.

    cnj.craigslist.org link

    I have a city of gold pinball machine for sale it turns in but the flippers dont work it just needs some fuses replaced

    $575 or best reasonable offer

    Pinball attire. If anyone wants to look like those tournament dorks featured in that Special When Lit video.

    This guy has had the same ad up for over a year; maybe two. The price has never wavered. I wonder why he has to keep relisting it?

    #1173 8 years ago

    He is saying its just need minor adjustments

    The price its what needs adjustments lol...

    $4300
    Williams High Speed Pinball Machine
    worked but hasn't been played in a while
    Might need some minor adjustment

    What is it with people taking a picture of their pinball machine they are trying to sell? thats pretty much the same picture four times! maybe a shot of the playfield??? At least they didn't take a pic of their beat up manual .

    Quoted from ForceFlow:

    That looks like a good deal. Drop some pin knowledge on these ignorant bozos and talk 'em down to dirt cheap.

    Williams High Speed Pinball Machine

    A high speed AND a getaway teamed up, both working not needing adjustments probably still wouldn't quite be worth $4300. Where do these people come up with these prices? He must be looking at ebay prices.. oh wait no, that's his same pinball on ebay

    ebay.com link » Williams High Speed Collector Classic Arcade Pinball Machine

    I know he didn't find any completed listing in ebay or any records of past sells close to that amount in here that's for sure. I was gonna say it had to be a typo until i saw the link on ebay...

    Quoted from Pahuffman:

    I might have gone for it, but it was a bit far for me for a pin I don't have much interest in. I'm sure someone got a buy. I posted it more for the "it's just a fuse" comment

    #1179 8 years ago

    Not craigslist but on face book this dude wants 2500 bucks for this busted ass gottleib spiderman. Major planking, shifting inserts, filthy, and cabinet is beat up. Its been there a while. I told the dude to adjust his price so he could move it and he laughed at me. Ok dude. Good luck Screenshot_2015-07-31-08-07-09.pngScreenshot_2015-07-31-08-07-09.png

    #1180 8 years ago

    This guy listed this for $1975, then a couple weeks later for $1950, then $1900. It looks nice but at this rate it's gonna be a while before it sells!

    #1181 8 years ago

    i can't believe the laughs for some of the pinside sales.
    I'm constantly seeing used MET's for the price of a new one.

    well, at least he's adjusting his price (albeit a slow one). You should see the crap on chicago craigslist that never budges. This guy has been trying to sell a atom jet (effectively a tabletop pachinko machine) for $800 for 3 years now, never adjusted his price

    Looks like I spoke too soon, the price went back up to $1950!

    Maybe he forgot the decimal point?

    #1186 8 years ago

    Hah decimal point.

    That Amigo, they're on drugs. Back when I got my gold ball a woman was selling an Amigo in stunningly good shape for $400 locally, and even that lasted a few weeks or so on craigslist. I'd have grabbed it but didn't want to dive into an EM table as my first as I figured anything that was broken or could break would get costly.

    If it's truly CQ that may not be a bad price. But Wilmington CL may not be the best place to find a CQ buyer

    #1188 8 years ago

    The famous "wear on the playing surface, which is normal" excuse to justify giant portions of exposed wood, along with the famous $4500 price tag for "I have no idea what this thing is worth... or I hope there's a giant sucker out there".

    boston.craigslist.org link

    You could almost buy ALL THREE Xenon's FS on the Pinside Marketplace for that price, 2 have nicer playfields, and 1 has a NEW CPR playfield!

    Pachinko is NOT pinball.

    I'm about to flag every "VINTAGE Japanese Pinball" post.

    #1190 8 years ago

    I've seen that too, bugs me because they think it's some cool rare thing so they ask well more than they're worth, especially the 1960s and later stuff that's all mechanical. I'll see those pop up on CL, ebay, whatever, and the dimwits want hundreds or more when they're realistically (usually in the shape I've seen) ranging from parts machines for a few bucks, to some with issues worth like $20 or so up to a nice one worth maybe a $100. It's the newer ones with the LCD/LED displays, large moving parts, 2-4 speakers and a crap ton of lights and gizmos that get into that near or over $1000 mark, not the old stuff. I only look as I used to have a 1960s one my mom owned I really enjoyed and would like that again with just the flower drops, big thing in the middle, a bell or two and some lights. And in the 90s before the LCD stuff first appeared I had a 5 way slot machine middle game one with an overly loud speaker belching out small jingles or annoying repetition and even new(refurb) from a US catalog it was only a few hundred bucks.

    This should have been linked first.....funny stuff
    Funny thing is the guy has been trying to sell it for 6 months for 1995.00 which is fine ask what you want its your pin.He gets upset I guess when a few people made him some reasonable offers.He finally dropped the price 600 bucks and sold it.

    "Gottlieb's Orbit Space Theme Pinball Machine in working condition. There is an issue with the score keeping. when then ball hits the upper level the score does not register. the score will register on the lower half. all bumpers and flippers work. keys are present. "

    This coffee table is amazing. Seriously. It's been a major conversation piece and the centerpiece of my living room for years. It's killing me to give this up, but I'm moving out of the country, and unfortunately, everything must go.
