Is there a way we can find out whether the free play pins are for sale or not (and asking prices)? I unfortunately can't make it due to family vacation however some local pinheads are considering going if the wedge heads are for sale and if the prices are right. Its unfortunate that i can't go since theres some sweet titles!
Quoted from ForceFlow:Not unless they are listed in the for sale thread:
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/saratoga-pinball-show-2017-partsgames-for-sale
So the 5 wedgheads aren't for sale?
Quoted from 1stpinballdave:Ken,
My two games (Aquarius and Domino ...which incidentally was the blue ribbon winner for best 60's game at Pintastic) are for sale. We however have to adhere to the show rules ...so any games on the show floor should not be removed by the new owner prior to 7PM.

Thanks Dave. Like I said we won't be there but I'm trying to twist some local wedghead collector's arms into going.
Quoted from too-many-pins:Only a week to go - I am really surprised there isn't more "buzz" about this here on Pinside.
I live 6 hours away and I am excited about another new show being added within driving distance yet not much talk here from the NY locals? I realize it is a smaller show but most shows start out small - lets help it grow into something like Pintastic, Pinfest, and the White Rose Show.
Come on guys - help Adam make this show a huge success! We need more shows in the north east!
I completely agree!!! I really want to help make this as successful as possible. Unfortunately, ill be on vacation. I'm trying to convince local pinheads to get up there but they seem pretty 50/50. To be honest, if this show doesn't get AT LEAST 25 games and AT LEAST half of the vendor spots filled, I don't see it as a success. Usually 2 weeks from Pinfest the thread is booming. I don't see that much here. But again I wish everyone the best of luck and if I can do anything in north jersey please PM me.
But in regards to "we need more shows in the northeast," I think that 3 is plentiful but maybe 4 will be suitable!! To be honest, we've always wanted to put on a show in North Jersey since chris doesn't seem interested. But that wouldn't be anytime soon.

Quoted from too-many-pins:it sounds like show turned out OK for you? Just curious if you have any idea how many people actually attended - not including "free admission" do to bringing a machine or volunteers. If you prefer not to publish this publicly I fully understand but I was just curious. I was also wondering how many machines were for sale and how those guys made out selling machines?
Drop me a PM when you get a chance and tell me a little more about what you learned doing the show. I love the idea of "smaller local shows" and would like to encourage other Pinsiders to try one in their area. We really can't do one here in Carlisle since we are only about 50 miles from York and 100 miles from Allentown but I would love to see more smaller local shows pop up here & their - I think it is good for the hobby!
As soon as you finalize dates for next years show be sure to let me know so I can plan accordingly!
Wasn't there one in Carlisle in 2006 or 2005? I recall there was a coinop show there but forget who ran it.
I'd LOVE to see one here in north jersey, even though I'm only 90 minutes from Allentown. Chris was pondering one but I guess it didn't work out. There was one in Hackensack back in the 90s and Kevin's show in Wayne in 2005. All in all we definitely need local shows in addition to the major ones.
