    I'm thrilled to see an A-List title so close but really!

    stockton.craigslist.org link

    Star Trek The Next Generation Pinball Machine - $7500 (Stockton, CA)

    1993 Star Trek The Next Generation Pinball Machine For Sale:

    Everything is already done or added to this machine. Buy it, Load it, Take it home, and Turn it on!

    This is a great example of the number 3 pinball out of the top 10 Solid State pinball machines in the world written by The Internet Pinball Database website.

    MODS:Romulon Ship Mod w/ LED's, Borg Man Mod w/ Laser Cannon, Klingon Ship Mod w/ LED's, Star Ship Enterprise Mod w/LED's, New style Laser Cannons w/ new cannon covers, and pop bumper Mod Cover under Beta ramp.

    New play field plastics with plastic protection barriers, new Coin Door, New Black Legs, Gold Leg Bolts, New Leg Levelers, Black Leg Cabinet Protectors, New Borg Ship, Pro Speakers w/ Bass speaker Upgrade, All new Ramps(Alpha, BETA, and Delta) including Stickers, new Manta ramps protectors, New Coin Door, New Coin Box, New Coin Registers, all new ribbon cables, New Ball Trough Transmitter and Receiver Boards, new flipper board, new DMD Board, new DMD Plasma screen, New 16 Opto Board, new Mirror Glazed Pinballs, new playfield glass and more.

    I have rebuilt pop bumpers, updated CPU prom, replaced all lighting with LED and incandescent bulbs, replaced all bad solenoids and bad sleeves, rebuilt all flippers, new rubbers and cleaned and waxed... Game is completely operational. Play field and Cabinet are in great condition.

    This price is Firm! PLEASE, NO LOW BALLERS! Not in a hurry to sell. These games start selling at $4900 in original condition and that's not including any problems or worn out conditions. By the time you repair and upgrade your machine the way you want it, you would have this much money into it, maybe more. I'm saving you the headaches and the wasted time and money having someone fix it and upgrade it for you.

    The listing:
    Need something? Need it now?
    Don't have extra money to buy it?
    Or maybe you'd rather just save your money!!!
    Let's make a deal...
    I have lots and lots of stuff, all available for trade or for sale.
    Here's a short list, if you don't see what your looking for don't be shy, just ask.
    Chances are I may have it or know where to find it so we can make a deal.

    -1993 indiana jones temple of doom pinball machine
    -Movie posters, stills, lobby cards
    -very rare toyota hot wheels cars and other models

    I reach out to the guy and he wants $15,000 obo. I asked him if it was a high end restoration or something and he says "All original, great condition, plays perfectly"

    Why do I get the feeling I'm going to see this add every 3 days for the next year!

    Quoted from skywelker:

    Looks like I spoke too soon, the price went back up to $1950!
    wilmington.craigslist.org link

    Maybe he forgot the decimal point?

    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

    #1202 8 years ago

    wow that pins not too far off on price. If they'd drop to 300 it's be gone

    And this link showed up when I viewed the link you posted:
    ebay.com link » Kiss Bally 1978 Pinball Machine One Of A Kind Coffee Table

    Really this is genius.
    Buy machine with blown out playfield
    Take playfield out and turn into coffee table
    Sell coffee table for profit
    Buy NOS cc playfield to replace it.

    At least the game play is not affected when it is worn to the wood!
    cleveland.craigslist.org link

    Here's the title: Flash Gordon Pinball Machine - $1350 (Mentor)

    He'll probably get it. At that price + a CPR playfield it's still in the active price range. At 1k it'd be gone already. IMHO

    I'm not sure if a dead DMD on this machine qualifies as minor.

    Looks like a non booter to me. I don't see anything that isn't GI

    Quoted from pinostalgia:

    what happened? i kinda like it,what would you pay for it? i'm thinking $600 but i'm sure that would hurt his feelings.

    I'm just not interested in the title and already have too many projects

    it has the EM glass on it but is the SS version. Still for that price you should get the glass

    Quoted from egyptrus:

    It seems like you didn't take any time to actually research this game before you declared it a "craigslist laugh". Yes, Pinside has an estimate of $450 as there has only been one Minstrel Man that has sold on pinside. If you'd have looked at the one example that sold you'd have seen that it was a major project. Two other games have been listed (one was $3450 and the other was $1600). The $3450 one the owner kept and the other one sold elsewhere. The lifetime average from bostonpinball.biz is $2133.
    So, yes, I get that you wouldn't pay what I'm asking for Minstrel Man. Like you, if I had to choose between Minstrel Man and BSD for roughly the same price, I'd take BSD all day, every day. I think we all have games we know about that sell for a price that we'd never pay as the game just doesn't seem like a good value.

    Nugent is the same way. The pinside price is high due to several restored pieces being listed. The going rate for an average one is hard to determine
