    Quoted from IdahoRealtor:

    Idaho, actually. Still close enough to come out for Lodi!

    Damn Nice Bryce! See you at Lodi. Love to chat about Idaho. Did you take the Tiki Bar with you?

    #6502 3 years ago

    I am still looking for a Scared Stiff (Elvira) anywhere from Portland to LA. I am looking for a HEP or one in good to excellent condition for my collection.

    Please DM if you have one you would part with. I have cash...

    I don't think I'll be able to. I'm having a hard enough time finding space for my pins. Wife likes the newer subdivisions as that's where all the young families with kids are. Those homes always have small-ish lots. Room for detached game building unlikely, if HOA would even allow. I'm sure many of you can relate.

    p.s. If anybody wants to move to Twin Falls (not where we're looking), some dude who just built his house there says the 1 acre lot next door to him is available for only $90k, that they're HOA of only 12 homes has basically no rules, and that him and his neighbors have daily happy hour at 3pm in each others' game buildings!

    I have never even heard of this pin, but it looks beautiful and the toy gimmick looks very unique. I had to look it up. Only 1600 units, WPC95. I thought I knew everything.... 8-)

    First tip. Leg levelers all the way screwed in/up.

    Sad to see this leave your collection, but someone will be very happy with it. That machine is brand spanking new.

    It's a fun game. I like the bash toy, but it has a lot of other little perks. For example, the KO "charge ups" and the revolving "skill shot" values. I generally shoot for the fists on my opening shot, to make KOs easier.

    #6519 3 years ago

    Thinking of putting my Funhouse up for sale soon. Been seeing some high prices for games on Craiglist, so figured why not see what someone is willing to pay for it? It's not a museum piece, players condition. Normal cabinet wear for a game of its age, Rudy's hair is missing some paint. Other than that everything works 100%, no issues. Recently swapped all rubber, LED lights installed, NVRAM upgrade, new CPU board, a few tasteful mods. Thinking of listing it for $5,500 (yes, I know that's on the high side but perhaps someone is willing to pay it with the way things are, I don't NEED to sell it).

    Figured I'd mention it here first, because I would probably rather just trade it for something. I'd be interested in many Sterns, 2000s-2010s vintage. Family Guy, Tron, Walking Dead, Ghostbusters, Simpsons, Star Trek.

    If a trade is of interest please let me know and we can swap photos or make plans to view in person.

    #6520 3 years ago
    Quoted from LeMansFan:

    Thinking of putting my Funhouse up for sale

    List it in the market. Ask what you want.
    We will all drive to your house and pick it up if you are giving it away.
    It is no shame to ask a lot for your machine. If the market will bear it then it will sell.
    If it doesn't sell then lower your price.
    Easiest way to find out what it is worth is to sell it.

    Its very hard to let a FUNHOUSE go... I did let a pristine one go a year ago and it still makes me think about it.

    Funhouse is the first game I ever bought in 92'. That's what got me started in the crazy / amazing hobby. I still own FH.

    Quoted from Kerry_Richard:

    Funhouse is the first game I ever bought in 92'. That's what got me started in the crazy / amazing hobby. I still own FH.

    I think a few of us got FH just after it came out, and never imagined that we'd still own it 25 years later and the classic machine status it would attain! (And do you even remember what you paid for it? I don't remember exactly because it wasn't a big chunk of money back then. Maybe $1500?? I really don't remember, but it wasn't very much...)

    Letting mine go was hard...

    Jokes aside, $5500 is a good listing price for a FH.

    I paid $1350 for it and that was a ton of $$$. In fact, it was the only Christmas present for my 3 boys (7 y/o and twins at 5). I've never spent that much $$$ on Christmas ever.

    But I'm soooo glad I did

    I'd love to get a TOTAN but if they're selling for 9k, it may be a long long time before that happens.

    Can't be fake. I just got a reply back. I asked about the price, and he dropped it to $2500 for me! We're going to meet on a remote country road later tonight after he gets off work at midnight.
