Quoted from Rcade:I was pretty much all by myself at the PPM tonight for two hours. Kinda cool to have "run" of the place, kinda lonely also. :/ I was surprised, I thought it would be more busy on a Friday after 5pm.
What really sucked is in my way out, I played a game of ACDC prem up front and got house balled all 3 balls, lol!
Looks like Keith took that picture...

Quoted from practicalsteve:So I have a little contest going on over in the Pin a go go thread and wanted to post it here for people planning on attending and in case you don't check that thread as often. If you decide to enter please post your entry in the PAGG thread so all entries stay in one thread.

What is the number one scourge of not only PAGG but ALL Pinball shows?
Yeah ok, the guys not wearing deodorant and carpet bombing the aisles is pretty bad, but not that.
NO, its the pinball hog! That guy that loves to start four games all by himself. The scoundrel that plays a game and pushes start for the next one with nary the look over his shoulder. He must be stopped!
So heres the contest, Blownfuse and I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to print little cards that we can tuck into the aprons of all the games at PAGG. Something simple that gets the point across that Pinball Hogs are not appreciated. I will print them up and provide them for free.
We think they should be simple, eye catching, and say something like NO PINBALL HOGS, and have some kind of artwork of a hog with that little circle with the line through it. It should also outline simple the basic rules of pinball etiquette, one game a person when others are waiting, or ask others to join the fun. You know what the rules are, you have been going to these for years. Simplicity will be key.
To enter, post your artwork in the thread and the top three with the most thumbs up will be voted on by Blownfuse and myself. Enter as often as you like.
The winning design as stated will get their very own impossible to find Pin A Go Go Spirit T-shirt (if size available) and pack of pinball posters from me.
Technical stuff: all artwork should be sized 3.75"x3.75" with the intention of being cut down to 3.5"x3.5" and having no important information 1/8" next to the 3.5" edge. All artwork to be considered for final print stages should be in a print ready file format (jpg for example) and in CMYK. Don't sweat the techincal stuff too much, I can work with what you make for the most part.
Quoted from pinballholder:Duly noted: chico.craigslist.org link
"I recently contacted this person to buy a different title from him. He told me he could bring it to me. Because i like to see machines myself in person and not in the back of a truck i declined delivery. He was very upfront with the fact that he sells a lot of games which are "hot" aka stolen and can get me any title i ask for, he then back tracked stating the particular title i was looking at was not however stolen. BUYERS BE AWARE!"
Are you sure he was not pulling you leg?
I'd think if there are stolen games we might have seen a post on Pinside
Then again maybe the police should notified
Hmmm...maybe he can get me a Popeye LOL
Quoted from loren3233:If this is the case, does anyone here know who the operator may be and can he be contacted immediately to potentially catch this guy in the act?
just notify the police so they can setup a sting
Quoted from BobC:I'll find out tomorrow hopefully
waiting to hear back from JJP
Quoted from IdahoRealtor:I'm excited to announce that I just placed a brand new Rob Zombie on location at Phoenix Games in Concord! According to the Pin Map there are only 8 on location on Earth! Best of all, the owner of the store insisted I set it on Adult Mode! The call outs are nuts and I got a Hand Job Bonus on my first ball . Returning tomorrow to install a shaker and a knocker.
I almost texted you today to ask about it!
Bump

Which probably means i'm introuble LOL

Well it’s been a while since I’ve sold anything here.
Is it required that the item be linked to a marketplace ad these days?
I am helping a friend in Discovery Bay sell his pins.
I have to preface this with my life has been cursed with all kinds of problems recently and I’m pretty bogged down.
That being said, I will certainly reply to replies or PMs but if you want the pictures it might take a few days for me to dig them up… it’s been several months and I take lots of pictures of all kinds of nonsense on a daily basis LOL.
I’m not sure what today’s NorCal prices are, so I’m just going off of what the Pinside machine database indicates.
Great condition Stern 2007 Spider-Man. It has the subway train and building mods that go over quite a distance over the return ramps. Those mods are pretty pricey from what I understand. It’s got upgraded speakers in it, or at least a better woofer. Shaker motor. If I recall the armor is Chromed out. The side rails are the aftermarket Ritchie ones with the web pattern at the flipper buttons. LEDs I believe.
$5400
HUO very low plays Metallica Pro. Upgraded speakers, or at least a better woofer. There might be more to it but I don’t recall. A really good looking machine.
$5500
Dr Dude . The numerical displays are perfect and probably aftermarket. There are a couple plastics with little bits broken off. I believe you can get some of those such as the slingshots. I think there’s probably a light or two out, and I think it has LEDs.
Overall good shape for a machine of it’s age.
The price listed on the Pinside “Machines” data base seems pretty high. But it’s been along time since I’ve bought the machine that era. Maybe they went way up in price from 10 years ago?
$2900 but definitely willing to take less.
I’m doing this these descriptions from my faulty memory, but if a serious inquiry pops up, my pictures will certainly convey what’s what quite accurately.
Thanks!

LOTR for sale in Antioch $5600 cash firm
Was routed for a bit at Phoenix Games in Concord
Typical wear around flipper buttons (maybe start too…don’t recall)
Some wear on head decals
Playfield great condition
Path of the dead mod, Cliffy’s, another mod = ramp from path of the dead to the shire (so ball does not drop onto the Arwen plastic), LEDs (I’m pretty sure), extra brand new jump ramp.
Selling for a friend. Can get pictures and more precise details.
Thanks!
