Quoted from Hdmike444:Williams Smarty EM needs a cleanup and rubbers. Right flipper chatters, all other switches work. Details and pics in marketplace add $350 obo just want it out, need the space.
Also still have WCS and BH to trade or sell $2200 each
Smarty bump $350
Just put a extremely nice Theatre of Magic up in the marketplace for sale or trade. https://pinside.com/pinball/market/ad/24902
Might be interested in selling my Dirty Harry (DH), LEDs in PF, Incredibly clean inside and out, just shopped, all plastics intact, new magnet core, 9.7 out of 10 overall (small chips in cabinet as per usual). Offers. (I'm in NNJ)
Quoted from freddy:nice Bad Cats in marketplace https://pinside.com/pinball/market/ad/24759
Nice? You may wanna include pics of the horrid pf touch ups on it to justify commanding a $3250.00 pricetag.
For that price, I assume the games has a new CPR playfield and decals. Does the game have that? Hope the PF looks great. Good luck
Quoted from wayout440:There's nothing wrong with giving yourself a little wiggle room, but I think that Bad Cats price is going to scare away anyone with interest.
Agreed.
For that price, you'd think a cpr pf was installed. The cab looks nice enough, but the pf is a mess.
I also find it odd that there is zero mention of the touch ups on the listing. That's something that should be stated in the description.. Kinda important.
Quoted from Blackbeard:Agreed.

I got mine for $2,350 and it has a new CPR playfield, new display, new plastics, and new decals. Everything was tumbled, polished and outfitted with new rubbers and super bands. It looks brand new except for a tiny imperfection at the corner of the back glass. The ramps are even in great shape.

That's more the pricing I'd think the pin was worth.
When you wanna sell, let me know! Also looking to trade my flintstones and/or time machine

I get first dibs on it! 
Quoted from Blackbeard:That's more the pricing I'd think the pin was worth.

dmacy asked for a buyback opportunity when he sold it to me, so I would have to give him first dibs. Although, I highly doubt my wife would ever let me sell it. She loves that thing. 
But, if I decide to sell and dmacy doesn't want it, I'll definitely let you know.
When people say, 'Upgraded to LED', does that mean that they put in an LED OCD board, too, so that the inserts don't have the instant-on and instant-off?
Quoted from Coyote:When people say, 'Upgraded to LED', does that mean that they put in an LED OCD board, too, so that the inserts don't have the instant-on and instant-off?
Not usually. Most people mean they swapped out the incadescent bulbs for LED bulbs. LED OCD is very uncommon (but cool!) so most people outline that in the ad.
Quoted from Richthofen:Not usually. Most people mean they swapped out the incadescent bulbs for LED bulbs. LED OCD is very uncommon (but cool!) so most people outline that in the ad.
It's common in my machines. 
Quoted from Taxman:Helps the LEDs get to just the right shade of Teal.
Wait...a...second! Are you really Yzfguy???

Huh. I wonder if poeple will then take $ off the price if I ask them to strip all the LEDs. 
Quoted from jibmums:Nice looking TOM, but......I gotta know, what's up with this? Saturday nights must be fun at your place.

A vibrator is used in rail cars to get the last of the dust or highly-compated material out of hoppers.
..Somehow, i don't think that's what that sign is for, though.

What's with the hostility, ball busting and raining on someone's listing or sale? I've been to freddy's gameroom and have done deals with him, and his Bad Cats is in excellent condition. I inquired about that the BC without even knowing him well, and he was apt to point out any imperfection the game may have had, even though I was there to look at another pin. The PF is not "a mess" at all. Has a few very minor touch ups, but done well. His BC looks great, is clean as hell, has a NOS BG and he takes care of his games. Many nice games in his collection. The price is whatever he lists it at...we all list games slightly high to gain wiggle room, and we all end up selling some games for less than what we list them for. Bump for a nice game, no matter what price he gets for it. GLWS.
Hmm not sure where you're getting "hostility" and "ball busting" from.
That pf is indeed a mess. I've seen close ups. It's worn out, has a ton of ball swirling, and has a lot of bad looking touch ups.
It's no where near "excellent" condition. That's just plain a lie on your end and his.
Maybe you can convince him to take actual close ups of the pf and touch ups on it and the cab.
"Excellent" condition?!!! You've gotta be kidding me.
Calling me a liar? I don't even know you, and you don't know me. How rude. This is a DD I bought for parts previously, and this PF was "a mess".
Let's keep this thread open for sales, and not bashing what people have listed. If someone is intentionally misrepresenting something, I would have a problem with that, as I'm sure you and other Pinsiders would. I don't think he did that. Potential buyers can look at the game or request additional photos and make their own decision.
We are not ball bashing, this is a discussion of why this game is obscenely priced. There is a lot more than wiggle room there. We are supposed to be hobbyists helping each other out. Sellers are certainly entitled to set a price anywhere they want, but face it - if it seems unreasonable they will get called out.
Slow down killer.
I saw pics of the pf after hearing over and over how spectacular conditioned this thing was in. Nothing was mentioned about touch ups until I brought it up after hearing from another on pinside about them.
Only then after I inquired about possible touch ups did seller tell me about them and send pics of them, which are indeed bad. They aren't small or well done by any means. The pf is also very worn out. How can you say other wise? I've seen many pics. It's all subjective I guess.
Then he tried to compare his pricing with that of eBay. We all know about eBay pricing.
If you want the pm''s he sent, I'll send them to you.
This thing is no where near 3250. Even with "wiggle room". That price, given its condition is laughable. Very much so.
Oh, thank goodness.....drama has even found it's way into this thread. I knew something was missing!

Cat Fight!!!!!
This turned into a SF Congo sale thread.
If this keeps up we may need to abandon a N.E. (North East) thread and go N.E. (New England) .
Sounds like the dead horse is beaten. Or should I say Cat.
