    Quoted from Ericc123:

    pittsburgh.craigslist.org link
    Appraised at $3,000 but asking $2,200 for a quick sale.

    Must be the same appraiser that the Pawn Stars use.

    Wow. I think I would rather pay 65k for a twilight zone before I spend 16k on f-14

    Quoted from pinzrfun:

    I was there last Sunday on 50% off day, so it was only $1500.00....
    I offered them half of that, but "$1500.00 is the lowest we can go". Some of the family members were there (parent passed away) so if it didnt sell, one of the kids was taking it. I'm guessing one of the kids got it.

    Even at 750 I think it's over priced.

    #6300 4 years ago

    That BSD in Troy has been for sale for a looonnnnnggggg time. All the pinheads I talk to around here joke about it. For somebody moving, he does not seem in too big of a hurry to sell.

    Not crazy priced like some of the games here, but you need to appreciate the amount of plays this game must have had in its life.

    I didnt see the game in person. Unless that's brown paint that was spilled on the playfield, I will need to say no. Novus will not clean it up.

    #6333 4 years ago
    Quoted from cmack750:

    Talk the seller down to $750 and hardtop it. Looks like most of the sanding is already done.

    I thought about it. Its not a game I would keep and I would never get my money back. Just a whole lot of work. If it was something I wanted I absolutely would have done that.

    At 10m it may be safe to assume it's a type of smoke. Because to come up with that price, they had to be smoking something.

    Quoted from stangbat:

    $29,999 AUD = $21,000 USD, so actually quite a bargain!

    I did the math after the post. Dont forget 700 usd for shipping. Total $21700. So then 2 day air and set up in my basement

    I love it. Battery is at four percent. You know the screen went dark already. Low battery warning keeps flashing. Maybe I should charge my phone, nope gotta check some pinball stuff first.

    Lot of people taking a $6500-8500 hit since these retailed for 12-14k in 2003.[quoted image]

    Wow that's crazy. I was selling Simpsons PP for $4595 plus tax new. I thought I was high on price back then. The thought that some one would have paid 12k makes me think I was too cheap.
    For all you youngsters out there, tspp MSRP was about $3395.

    3750 For a Cyclone.
    It's pretty, but not that pretty

    Pretty impressive. This one was built in 1998 and in his house since 2000

    Quoted from JethroP:

    I found them here...but I deleted the company logo because I didn't want to have them flooded with orders.
    [quoted image]

    I think, for the rest of my life, I will always refer to them as clickers and loopers. I can't wait to see the look on people's faces when use that term.

    #6689 4 years ago
    Quoted from JethroP:

    I'd like you to call Steve Young to order some loopers and clicker parts, record the conversation, and provide us all the audio clip. I can't wait to hear the conversation! - I'm already ROTFLMAO.

    I used to deal with Steve long ago, before internet made finding parts easy. He would scream at you if you didn't have an actual part number. If you called him for some clicker parts, you would hear his blood pressure rise.

    His prices are not too crazy. Definitely on the higher end. Without better pics and maybe a little power, I could get a better feel.

    Quoted from SimpleSam:

    humboldt.craigslist.org link
    Sorry, I don't know how to do a screen print. It's for a Terminator 2 where the asking price is $6,000. There's no description beyond the usual "excellent" that would indicate why it is worth 2X market rate. There's three lousy pictures that are far enough away to not have any real detail other than showing a banged up front and drilled out lock.

    I got it for you.

    I clicked on this because it had vintage in the title. Then I read the box and it says vintage on the cover. Guess I can't complain about them using the word vintage.

    I’m no scientist, but 2000.00 seems a little high for a project. Looks like a bunch of new parts are included, but still... or am I just the one that’s crazy?

    It's not crazy high. It might work for someone who wants to do the project but dosen't want to search for the parts.

    *Adams* you too, can have a True collector quality with just a new decal. (see pic) right.

    At least it didnt use words like "vintage" or "rare" in the tag line.

    We can get Indy Jones for 200 bucks each, but we need to order 50. Quick, everyone send me $200 and I will make the payment. It may be a scam so dont expect your money back.

    I once seen a zaxxon that somebody carpeted the entire cabinet. It's still the most ridiculous thing I ever seen on a game. This one may be number 2.

    #7245 3 years ago

    At least this one looks awesome, in a weird and goofy way. The zaxxon I referred to was done in a cheap brown carpet you would find in a house that someone is trying to flip as cheaply as possible

    What a deal!
    [quoted image]

    Under 15 bucks to ship a full size pinball? This guy is going to lose his ass on that deal.

    #7294 3 years ago
    Quoted from CoolCatPinball:

    I had a scammer contact me to purchase a machine I was selling. He said he'd send me a cashiers check for my asking price plus $500 to pay the delivery driver he would send. Of course the scam is the fake check gets cashed, the driver shows up, takes my machine, I pay the driver. Then, a week later, my bank catches the fake check and pulls the funds back out of my account. ANYWAY... I played along with his scam and told him to make the check out to Sgt. B.A. Baracus. Told him I was part of an elite military squad wanted for crimes we didnt didnt commit. Also told him it had better not be a scam because "I pity the fool that tries to scam me". The dude didnt even bat an eye. I still have the fake cashiers check made out to Sgt. B.A. Baracus to this day [quoted image]

    Awesome.

    We had a guy try and scam us with a fake check. This was almost 20 years ago. He was trying to buy just over 11k in games. Back then it was a big sale and around 12 games mostly vids. His guys were going to show up that morning. He kept calling with excuses. Eventually his crew showed up and it didnt feel right. It was just after the banks closed and we couldn't verify the check. We ran it through a copier and it didnt come up void so we knew it was fake. We denied the sale and a few days later the secret service showed up. Apparently a few of my competitors got blinded by the big sale and he got away with around 30k in other peoples equipment. We kept that check framed on a wall to remind us to never rush a deal.

    It does say the buyers premium is included in that price. Not a total kick in the balls. Just a glancing blow.

    Quoted from illudiumQ36:

    It appears to me, to be in average, unrestored condition. Seems kinda high, even when you subtract the commission. Par for the course these days, I guess.

    Definitely on the high end. Some poor fellow probably seen this, got excited because he always wanted a Kiss, checked prices on Ebay, and figured they are going for 8k and he got it at half price.
