I can't leave pinside feedback for a game sold off market, so .. I'll say it here.
Thanks to DaveB for being a great buyer. No drama, communicated, arrived as coordinated and real easy to work with. The bills may or may not be counterfeit but they seem to spend fine so far! Thanks man.
/me heads off to give Pinside a donation in lieu of the marketplace commission

Go check it out first, and then make an offer.

Saw that one on CL, you gotta LOVE that game to spend that much dough. No idea how to price it.
Quoted from practicalsteve:casually in the market
Quoted from practicalsteve:I am casually in the market for a Hollywood Heat...
I "casually" have a fully populated playfield. Not sure of the condition. Will have to dig it out of our shed.
Susi says "why do we have this" ? Well, cause I wanted to get one some day. However, I'm in the process of downsizing.....

Unsure if I want just a populated play field without the game, that may put me out of the casual category 
but if I find one that needs one I will hit you up!
hey fireball2 did you ever help out Lou ferrigno? I had to bail on that other thread once it became the Ted show

Quoted from Reznnate:My basement gameroom project has begun. It's off to a scary start though. House is being held up by 4x4's as they continue excavation...
Your're excacating to make a basement? I love it! What was there b4? Just a crawlspace?
Quoted from IdahoRealtor:Your're excacating to make a basement? I love it! What was there b4? Just a crawlspace?
Yes. Fortunately the house is on posts and not a slab.
There will be a bar room addition on the side of the house and a gameroom basement underneath the bar and under part of the house.
Yes, only in California.
Yes I'm married. She's awesome.
Yes, it's expensive... and yet it was easy to justify when compared with moving nearby.

That's Awesome.
Go Bigger, now's your chance.
Or you could go nuts with a pick axe and wheelbarrow like this guy who excavated ACRES of underground rooms, including a ballroom, entirely by hand!

Truly worth seeing if ever you are near Fresno. I often consider following in his crazy footsteps and expanding my tiny partial basement into a genuine pinball cave. It would definitely slow my acquisition roll if I had to hand dig room for each new game!

That's awesome! Surely cheaper than buying a much larger house at $500 per sf and getting killed on property taxes. Don't forget the walk-out doors and post some pics for us when it's done!

I have a hollywood heat I would "casually" sell to you but have no idea how much to ask ,lol.
I also have a non populated palyfield to "casually" sell separately.

Awesome! I’ll PM you in a bit. When I said “casually” I meant I didn’t want to ship one or I didn’t want someone’s high end restore. I’m out and about but will contact you soon

Damn, you guys, on May 29th this thread became FIVE years old! I have met a lot of you guys that post on here and I really do value the friendships I have made. I kinda took a break from Pinside for a while but I have always checked this thread regularly and I’m gonna start posting in it more. Thanks to everyone for keeping this thread super friendly and drama free. Let’s keep it going for another 5 years. We are almost at five thousand posts too!
Throwing in some pics I had on my phone of my favorite NorCal people.

I know you have. I only mentioned it so you know that you are missed. You are a good guy and you will get through this. I’m here and all of your other pin brothers are too. Stay strong dude.
Hey I’m looking for a backbox door for my Spanish Eyes. If anyone has got one laying around please let me know.
