Here is an awesome one. Look at that play field. I would offer 100 maybe 300. Rough shape.

Quoted from ForceFlow:Includes a doorbell mod and completely white repainted cabinet.
HAHAHHA Where do these prices come from? Doorbell Mod hahahah
Quoted from Beatnik-Filmstar:I'm suddenly amused by the idea that the doorbell doesn't add credits, but actually just rings a doorbell.
For me it's just one of those things that is hard to even look at. Why would you 1) Let the play field get that bad... 2) Repaint the entire cabinet white and 3) Why would you install a door bell on the front of the machine... 4) Why would you price the machine at $1200. Crazy,crazy crazy.
Quoted from CoolCatPinball:But he has the original manual and glass.....lol
HAHAHA, those are worth a ton, what would you do without them.
Quoted from Tommy_Pins:Can somebody make an installation guide for the doorbell mod?
1. Drill three holes through cabinet two for mounting and one for wires
2. Hook wires from door bell to coin door
3. Press button on door bell to add credits
4. Throw machine into dumpster as you have ruined it's value Well not 100% but something about putting a door bell on the front of the pin really bugs me. I have seen it done where the door bell is on the bottom of the machine out of sight and it looks okay but still, why would you do that? Why not just rig something up to the coin return button or plunger on the coin door and make it add credits? Those always work well and are 100 percent reverse-able if someone doesn't like it in the future.

- I have restored over 16 games this is the one I'm most proud of really went above and beyond to make this reliable for years to come.
I'm confused... why is this funny? The price?
Quoted from cosmokramer:That HH looks incredible...
I agree. I would love to have that machine in my collection.
Quoted from Tommy_Pins:Will this process also work with the flipper buttons?
Hmm yes except you would only need one hole for the flipper button.
Here's a good one. $1500 for this EM. Where do people get these prices? To me that would be a $450 game if it was in decent working condition. Crazy the prices people ask for. I wonder if for that price I get the flower pot and plant on top of the machine.
Quoted from ForceFlow:Well, that's actually a reasonably desirable pin, so it's not as far off as you would think. It's hard to find one of those under $1k.
Odd, I wonder why, is it a super fun game or something? maybe I need to take a second look
Quoted from dozer1:^^I credit the seller for taking many detailed pics. BUT DAMN..LOL
I think they should pay someone 100 to haul it off lol. Question, in that condition could anything even be saved? An odd question but I'm sure I'll come across this one day. I feel bad for that pinball machine. So many people would have given it a good home or at least helped other machines lIke it and the cabinet could have become a vitural pin or something... sad.
Quoted from dozer1:Backglass maybe? Plastics? not much there that I can see
Yeah that's what I was thinking... maybe the coin door and the apron but both would need to be sand blasted and repainted...pop bumpers maybe? Crazy...
Worn down to the wood but he still wants 3.5K this guy is a local who was an operator and now has all of his machines in his basement. Almost all of them are mildewed or molded (YUCK). Still I love to check his offerings for a good laugh.
I kind of want this but, not for $300 maybe like 30.
Quoted from Travish:Well not Craigslist but how about a really nice eBay black knight?
I mentioned this a while back and they have yet to give up. Down to $600. Worn down to wood and destroyed cabinet with a door bell mod. I think on the high side this would be a $200 game given the condition.
Quoted from Atari_Daze:It's updated:
>>"MOTHERS DAY SPECIAL ONLY TODAY" !!!<<
What a SPECIAL for Mom!!! I know my 76 yr old mother would be thrilled to receive this "hunk"... of junk.
hahahah what a piece of junk
I know this isn't a pinball machine but god dog. $2500... No way!
richmond.craigslist.org link
Here's a high priced high speed. Does HUO really add that type of value? I don't think so.
Sounds like a good deal... $25,000 for four EM's (They do look nice and are good titles but I'm sorry they need to knock off a zero).
ebay.com link: Gottliebs Pinball Machines El Dorado Square Head Quick Draw Big Brave
Quoted from bob_e:does he know listed on ebarf.. Gottlieb-Big-Brave-Pinball-Machine $1799.00
ebay.com link » Gottlieb Big Brave Pinball Machine
I know right and that one looks just as good or atleast fairly close hahaha.
Quoted from Tommy_Pins:https://pinside.com/pinball/market/classifieds/ad/51647
Not Craigslist but it gave me a laugh.
My toddler just gave me the craziest look when I just laughed my ass off when I saw that side art. Good luck to the seller. Who knows I was never into a velvet Elvis but people buy the shit out of those, so maybe people will like this too. hahahaha. Great find.
I know this one isn't craigslist but man, $2500 for this when that backglass is almost completely gone. HAHAHAHAHA... Also you've got to love that helicopter topper mod hahahha (I honestly think it's just being used for storage but who knows). I wonder if keeping a pin in the laundry room would cause humidity issues and lead to planking I doubt it but who knows.

Quoted from Insanity199:I have been looking for the rare and elusive "UCHDO" for a while. Thanks!
Hahaha UCHDO. Hey that's a new title right maybe ForceFlow will create us a new game entry
300 a month? That seems like way too much. What were you putting it in the New York Times? Most of the ad's for the local paper are like 50-60 something like that.
Here is a good one. The price is decent but the description makes me laugh. He made his own belt and then drew a paper football. Nothing like high quality DIY work. Anyone know if replacement parts for this are east to find? I might pick it up if so.
Here's another Dr.Game special. Check out that yellow on the playfield. What a great touch up hahahaha.
Quoted from Swainer80:Found this gem.
Yum they sprayed the switches with WD-40... wtf?
Is 2k a bad price for a fully restored Fire! ? Provided it is actually restored that might not be such a bad price?
Quoted from ForceFlow:Is that where the legs went?
This made me laugh just thinking about how crazy it would look to see a car driving on pinball legs lol.
Quoted from PinPilot:You can't sell a bingo around here for more than $200 unless it an unusual situation, and even at $200 it will take weeks or months to sell. I personally enjoy bingos for the nostalgia value, but soooooo complex and complicated to repair. There's a Nashville bingo on Ebay in good shape that didn't sell for $250. Just not much bingo love out there it seems.
I agree, Bingo's are fun and I like how complex they are, it just makes you wonder where people get these numbers from. Yeah, locally I've seen some of the really beat up examples posted for $50 and they stick around forever. I guess for that game I'd be willing to pay $150 or so? I'd think given it's condition that would be fair.. maybe $200.
Look man you could ride it down a hill, other than the most expensive thing being broken on it, its in real good shape . I like how it has 47k miles on it as well. I feel like that is a lot of miles for a bike (Could just be me).
Quoted from PoBoyPinball:Not a pinball but just loved this description
Make: Suzuki
Model: Gz250
Year: 2007
Miles: 47,000
Description: Nice little cruiser. Has a blown engine and crack in front fender, other than that in good condition.
Here's a good one. I like how he said he has 250 hours in it. Wtf were you doing that took 250 hours hahaha. Also because of the new boards... 3k... for a 2 player speak easy I'd think about it for $700 new boards or not.
From the ad:
For Sale: I have a quite rare Bally Speakeasy from 1982 back when they were making the iconic pinball machines that everybody wants these days. It has over $1200 in upgrades alone including full l.e.d. light conversion and ALL the boards have been replaced with modern technology Alltek electronics. New fly-away targets and rubbers have been installed as well as a playfield protector and a new power supply too. There's really too much to list but with over 250 hours put into it you can be sure that everything has been thoroughly gone through and it works and plays absolutely perfect. Truly it's as close to being bullet proof as any machine could be, I would not expect it to have any problems whatsoever for many, many years to come. I've attached a few pics for you to take a look at. Price is $2950.00 obo. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you have. My name is Jon and I am located in Richmond, Va. You may respond to this ad via email or call me at show contact info
, no texting, no calls after 9pm. Thank yo
Only 3K Worn down to wood. No lock bar, no glass, rotted rubbers
Original 1977 big top pinball - $3000
I have a all original 1977 big too pinball machine it needs some work but all the parts are there it still lights up and makes noises just needs new glass and some other little things
pasted_image1 (resized).pngpasted_image2 (resized).pngpasted_image3 (resized).pngQuoted from JethroP:I sent him an offer $1250. Cash. He replied "No, I only accept checks. Read the description." So I followed up with "ok, I give you a check."
I feel like that is weird AF. Why would he only accept checks? Maybe a scam of some sort where he would try to make you send the check to him ahead of time. In my experience as a seller the safest way is with cash outside of them giving you counterfeit cash I don't see it being an issue.
Quoted from Dan63:offer him $40
Whats the link I'll do it. I think shit like that is funny.
I feel like that ad has gone beyond a laugh and has entered into the realm of stupidity. 2 Million for any pin would never make sense unless perhaps it was made of gold or something I feel like the conversion isn't even that good hahaha.
Quoted from EvanDickson:I gave this it's own thread, but no one's biting. $2 Million USD ask for a Royal Flush converted into a beer brand theme. [quoted image]
Quoted from Atari_Daze:ebay.com link » Pinball Machines For Sale
I really don't think 1) the guy knows what a pinball machine is
2) USPS ain't about to ship one...
I think it would be funny as shit to see someone try and fit a full sized, crated pinball machine in a mail truck. Those guys get tired when they have to put a package on my front porch much less something that large (I do like USPS though just not for big stuff)
Quoted from DropTarget:Hard to pass this up....
newjersey.craigslist.org link
I feel like if he knocked off a zero then I'd be interested
Quoted from wolfemaaan:The Sunglasses King is back!
losangeles.craigslist.org link
When I read this I thought the guy was just pranking people is he serious? He creates sunglasses art? Weird AF.
$3900 for an Evel Knievel oh and because he is soo generous only 1k for the Gorgar but only if you buy the EK. LOL. And remember folks... NO TEXTING!
