PM for more information.image-603.jpg 319 KB

$2600???!!!
Oh wait, this is the LE version of JM... the one with the really cool gold cab decals.
Quoted from NJGecko:Nope, it's the special edition with all of the connectors removed in the backbox and the wires directly soldered to the boards.
Oh. I thought the wires being directly soldered was a pricey mod.
Just trying to understand his $2600 pricetag.

So you mean the modern built pins broke down less than the old school 90s pins?

Quoted from Barakawins1:Package deal:
Pinbot: full mylar playfield in good shape, nice cabinet. Small wear at pop bumper area, small wear
at left outhole and typical wear under visor. Have decal for that. Otherwise, game fully functions, displays are bright. Off board battery pack installed. No acid damage. Light bar plastic cracked at the end.
Cyclone: Extremely nice original playfield. Zero wear. Bright displays. Needs some work but not major.
Switch issue. Should be a minor fix.
Will sell both machines for $2850 cash/carry. Located in North NJ
Nice deal here. Would love both these games back in the lineup.

Quoted from Richthofen:Some people got upset that I asked if this was a game listed on CL for a specific dollar amount. Surprised this pissed anyone off since everyone's bought from a flipper in New England. Whatevs. Comment removed.
So you would've passed on a $500 cyclone?
Quoted from Richthofen:I saw the CL ad 8 minutes after it was placed. Was texting a friend about it who bought a Cyclone and had it shipped up a few years ago, had got him into the hobby. Tried to convince him to get it as I am out of room and it looked like it was in better shape than his. I mean, I'd love the game but I'm pretty much out of room and money. I didn't say there's anything wrong with it, I just thought for sure the ad was a fake as they almost always are, someone luring collectors into responding to fake CL ads for jollies or whatever.
Maybe the posters above misread you.
A lot gets lost in translation in text.
Quoted from eabundy:The part not cool is posting what you think someone paid for a machine, when they are selling it for more money than you think they paid. Not a leap to figure out what I didn't like about your post.
Who cares regardless?
If I saw a $500 cyclone, I'd nab it and resell it in a heartbeat. Most would.
I don't see a damn thing wrong with that either.

Quoted from PinballNewb:I think there's a Bad Cats on Pittsburgh's CL.
Ask for close up PF pics. Yikes!
Quoted from freddy:oh the price is not the issue i think thats great price for a Bad Cats just that the touch up looks a little suspect. nothing that can't be fixed.
So you guys saw the pics too? That PF is a MESS. It's a 1200 pin tops. Total beater. Needs a CPR in the worst way!
Quoted from freddy:i don't believe a $1200 Bad Cats exists but i am willing to be proved wrong!
I'm guessing you didn't see the pf pics.
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.
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 Spyderturbo007: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
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.
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.
Quoted from KingDaddy:Hey Blackbeard, Bills are toast this weekend!
One things for sure, it should be a competitive game. I'll be there. 10 rows behind the players. I'll be heckling Brady all day long!!

Quoted from Pinball_Nate:Anyone in Baltimore (I live in Balto County) who is comfortable doing some soldering on boards available? I have some TIP transistors that will probably need replacing as a socket contacted metal last night on my Taxi and fried a column (a few stuck ON very brightly).
Anyone? I will pay for your time/troubleshooting and can help troubleshoot - I think I've already found the problem but have not tested yet - I have a meter but don't really know how to use it!!!
Stretch - anyone?
Consider sending your board to Clive at Coinop Cauldron. For like $80 he will not only replace the parts you blew, but update any other parts on the board needing updating. It's an old board and could use the TLC.
He's one of the best, if not THE best in the business.. Just a suggestion.
Quoted from Pinball_Nate:Blackbeard, thanks I might just do that - finding the time to fiddle with all of this is a royal pain in the ass!!!
-Nate
I'd email him with your issues. He does phenomenal work and I believe it's his full time job.
I've had many many boards revamped by him and never an issue. For the price you're also circumventing possible issues down the road with old parts.

Have a sweet flintstones for sale (in marketplace)
Looking for dr. dude, mousin, and other system 11s.
Quoted from DaveH:I guess it works. It is his 10th AFC Championship game... Seriously, 10th in his career. Crazy good.
Seriously one of the top 3 that's ever played the game.
It pains me to say it being a Bills fan, but it's the truth.
Quoted from Max_Badazz:Will sell for $2100 as is pickup only (2150 if I have to help move it) .
$50 to help someone move it? Really?
Quoted from shacklersrevenge:He should have paid me to help him move it on our last deal, from his last setup in the basement. Tight, back breaking, awful...fuck it sucked. I think I did that a few deals with Chris.
I hear ya, but I would never tell a prospective buyer I'm gonna charge him if I have to move it. Just seems ridiculous. It's not the buyers fault the sellers basement is a pain to move from.
Should just increase the price to the 2150 and state he can't help move it. Just leaves a sour taste in my mouth knowing I have to pay the seller to help move it.
Quoted from tp:You didn't even give it a chance. Big mistake imo. Definatly grows on you, especially the better you get at it. Love the jackpot shots from the upper playfield.
Agree. Has one of the best jackpots in all of pinball, vacation jackpot.
But, as soon as I hit that, the thrill was gone and it went out the door!

Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:Is WCS a $3,500 game nowadays, or is this one just really nice? Asking because I own one. Thx,
No it's not.
It's a sub 3k game.
Quoted from shlockdoc:Nelson - yes believe it or not WCS is a 3-4K game.
On Mars.
Quoted from Pinballmike217:When I got into the hobby everyone said "NO WAY is MM a $4K pin". Funny how they just kept going up to everyones disbelief.
I hear ya.
It’s just not a 3-4K pin right now.
Maybe by Christmas.
Quoted from PersonX99:It can be. It really depends on the buyer. Remember, although both are cars that get you from pt. A to B, a Kia is not a Mercedes.
It was stated that WCS is a 3-4k pin. That's the comment I disagreed with.
You could have a 5k Nip It plated with 24k gold. Doesn't mean the standard Nip It is worth 5k.
In general, WCS is NOT going for 3-4k. (unless you own one of course) 
Quoted from shlockdoc:really personal attacks from the armpit of NY state. Now you are the price guide of games. why don't you look at the current listings.
Relax (edited). No one is attacking you, just your inflated thoughts on WCS pricing. Am I not allowed to have an opinion on pricing? You were down voted numerous times, so clearly I'm not the only one who thinks you're way off in price.
Quoted from yzfguy:Pretty sure the personal attack reference was in regard to you changing his username. I doubt he would refer to you as beardedclam, for instance, which might be offensive.
My apologies. I thought he was a doctor specializing in the male anatomy. Honest mistake.

The hobby is somewhat cutthroat. Older pins are becoming more rare, unless you wanna fork over the inflated prices ppl sell them on here for. (Sorry Levi, price policing is damn necessary)
I was lucky my last go round with my bad cats: I offered what it was listed for, $2100, and set a time to come grab. The second guy in line offered $2500, but the seller told me he would stay true to his word and sell to me. Kinda rare.
Anyway, you gotta have cash on hand, and ready to go NOW when this shit pops up.

If you or anybody around there has any good options throw em out there!
I debate selling this bad cats cause it’s a boring pin. But it would be more than his budget.

I want to fix the problem and keep it, having trouble getting it fixed (Braintree, ma). It either stays or.goes! Message if want to talk. Tnx.

Most UNDERRATED system 11 there is. Straight shooter.
Quoted from Yoko2una:Agreed. It's 80% Mousin' Around in layout and objectives, but Mousin' gets all the love and RK gets crapped on. Only reason I sold my RK was because it felt a bit redundant with MA. But for $1K, a working RK is going to improve just about any collection on the cheap.
I agree. It is super similar.
I LOVE the variety of shots and building multipliers. And adding that new clear ramp in the back made the game come alive with more light.
For me, it's a top 5 system 11. Just doesn't get boring for me.
