So... I go out antique shopping with my wife on Mother's Day and in the back of some closed up store, what do I spy ~ an Atlantis, buried with junk all around it. The store happened to be closed, so I left my card, they called me back this morning and now it's all mine. I never saw such a nice example. It only has 27k worth of plays on it. Inside is frick'n spotless. I don't think it was ever opened up. I'm so excited to polish her (the pin) up.
And the wife too...?
The negotiations went like this:
"Good morning, this is the antique store about the "old pinball machine", how much are you willing to pay for it?
"$700"
"If you can pick it up this morning before 10:30 you can have it for $650
This was the best Mother's Day ever...
BTW: they also have a beat up Taxi and a King Kool. They said they know for a fact the Taxi is worth 10k but would be willing to let it go for $2500
