Quoted from Ericpinballfan:Trusted seller! Here's your deadpool pro.
Great price. Get Chris Foxx to go get it for you!
Anyone got any interesting trades for my Alien SE by Heighway? I'm expecting my remake to arrive early next year and once I'm sure it's a keeper I plan on moving my original out. Not looking to ship but willing to travel between socal and the bay area.

If anyone is interested in my original Alien SE by heighway let me know as I will be looking to move it out once my remake arrives. I would prefer trades. Absolutely no shipping of any kind, but I can travel between Portland and LA. If you want to see the machine you can view the archived ad here on pinside from when I purchased it in September of last year.
Quoted from Da-Shaker:I haven't followed the Alien Se vs Remake. How are they different? Anything defective or issues?
They added a physical ball lock and an additional magnet in a crucial spot that should greatly improve gameplay. They also removed the playfield screen. I'm so blown away by my original that I immediately jumped on board with the remake. Once I get the new one in and play them side by side it should be easy to make my Sophie's Choice. My guess is that I will be ready to trade the rarity and playfield screen of the original for the new shots and support that the remake seems to be offering. Message me if anyone is interested in putting together some kind of trade. Probably ready to go by February. I love a good slow pinball deal. Drags out the fun.

Price drop $5300. Last chance. Trading it in on Tuesday if it isn't sold and picked up before then.
Thx
Quoted from onemilemore:This is an insane deal bump
The pinball pirate gave me a generous trade offer so 5300 is my rock bottom. Any less and I will let him take it away since hes coming here anyways to drop off a deadpool premium. It's a great game and I'm super stoked to be getting to upgrade to premium. PM if interested. Must be picked up tomorrow or Monday. South Santa Cruz county.
Thx

Quoted from golfingdad1:Any chance Chris comes over to Phoenix or even Tucson ?
Cant hurt to ask
Chris has always been super careful and efficient when he has picked up and delivered games for me. He preps them like a collector and then moves them like an operator. Blanket, plastic, back legs off, tilt, front legs off, hand truck, rinse, repeat.
The last time I used him he went to a craigslist sellers home and paid out of pocket for an arcade cabinet then brought it to me and we settled up when he arrived. It was a solo trip for him, 6 hours or more time and travel and he charged me 125. I gave him 200. He solid gold, we are very lucky to have him here on the best coast. He deserves some of the credit for how awesome our game rooms are out here.

I would like to find something nice in trade for my Alien SE by Heighway. New upgraded xenomorph head installed and the old one will be included with a box box of spare parts that I hoarded off pinball life. Mylar since day one over playfield screen. No broken plastics or face huggers. Beacons topper added. Plays great. No issues. I will be ready to trade in late May or early June. I have a couple of interesting offers already but not for any my grail games as of yet. Plus or minus cash as needed. Looking for:
Elvira 2 or 3
Indiana Jones ( you know the one)
Rick and Morty
Fathom (restored condition)
Or really anything else you think I might like.
Thx
PS I'm only trading because I have a remake arriving soon and I'm 90% sure I will want to keep it vs the original based on some new features.
Quoted from zh2oson:The Stern one.
Got it.
Most definitely! I could never really get into the earlier flicks but Crystal Skull really buttered my popcorn. Plus I'm not really looking to trade a wide body for another wide body.

I'm going to copy and send the response I sent to #seenev and send it to both of you. Let me know if you are interested
I try to focus on the things I like and not the things I dont. It makes it easier on the people I live with.
Its worth mentioning one more time that my OG Alien by Heighway will soon be officially up for sale once I receive and am satisfied with my remake. Not willing to ship but message me and I will make it worth the drive and you couldn't pick a better time to come up(or down) to Santa Cruz. Today's high 75 and not a cloud in the sky. C'mon, I drove 12 hours to pick up my Lebowski!

Im looking for an Elvira house of horrors or a restored Scared Stiff anywhere in state. Cash in hand. Deadpool premium as trade bait.
Quoted from Norcalpin:There is a Scared Stiff for sale on Craigslist....bay area section.
Thanks. I drove up yesterday and checked it out. We couldn't make a deal. I'm keeping my fingers crosse that he might come down a bit. Nice pin but by the time I replace the decals,dmd and playfield I fear that I will be too far underwater

What's my deadpool premium worth these days with the nib price increases starting with the next run?
California is the same as everywhere else. Some good places, more bad places. Some good weather, more bad weather. Some assholes and some awesome people. Live and let live as my pappy would say. BTW. Santa Cruz County is by far one of the shittiest places in all of the west coast. I strongly recommend anyone to think long and hard about even visiting for a day. Plus the weather is unbearable most months. I say skip it. Do yourself a favor.

Is Chris Foxx still rolling? I'm seriously thinking about throwing my hat in the ring and buying a van. My wife is getting sick of me being around the house all the time.
Quoted from fnosm:Yes Chris is still making the scene but I say go for it.
I appreciate the words of encouragement. I will let you all know when I get the van. I'm thinking Phoenix to Portland.
Im starting to line up some runs and one of them is the full distance(AZ to OR). I'm hoping to start on the 17th of this month so contact me if you have anything for me. I should have room for at least two more items. I'm calling this experiment Fat J's Pin Wagon, serving OR,CA, AZ, Vegas and possibly the Reno/Tahoe area but that can be a stretch off route and I'm trying to keep this inexpensive. My goal is to have fun and see if its for me and not lose too much money figuring it out.
Quoted from vicjw66:If you have a company van and company gas card, there is money to be made. Otherwise, I wish you the best of luck. As an ex accountant, you have to think about costs like gas, insurance, maintenance, resale value of your vehicle, what your time is worth, etc.
You read my mind. I already acquired a gas can and a 5ft piece of garden hose
Quoted from Ericpinballfan:Everyone is in the hauling bussiness this weekend.
The Banning Auction games have been delivered to PAGG up here in Dixon. Lots of games, come see show this weekend.
I currently have 5 games coming back to the OC.
I have room for a couple more. I'm already here so this is a one way trip from show to the LA and orange county areas.
Pm me if interested and check out my thread below.
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/banning-auction-winnings-to-pagg-or-cax-transport-service#post-6539874
I'm not retired sadly, this is 1 way once this weekend opportunity.
Good luck to pinsider Llabnip1972 and his new venture. It's harder than it sounds and looks brother. May use your services in future.
As long as I break even and have some fun. If not I will hang it up. I needed to get a van for moving pins around the bay area in winter anyways. I plan on doing local runs as well. I already serve as an unpaid intern in charge of delivery at Pinball Panic working with my talented friend Devin. Check out his website. Like, follow, friend and listen to his podcast and read his blog. He's awesome.
As of now I have one item scheduled going from CA to OR. The item I was bidding on moving from Phoenix to OR fell through. I only need one or two more items to make this trip work. Let me know if you have anything. If it comes together this months trip should begin next Sunday the 17th leaving CA. Thx

Time for my Deadpool premium to move on. Stern shooter rod otherwise stock. Purchased second hand from the Pinball Pirate. 8400
Update on my pin moving adventure and my deadpool premium for sale.
The pin moving is coming along nicely. The first victim is going from Hayward to Salinas this weekend. Let me know if you want to hop on board and I may be able to fit you in. Otherwise this will be a solo trip close to home. I would say wish me luck but I'm already the luckiest guy I know so I won't hog up all the luck
As for dp premium. I'm sorry but I keep forgetting that I secured a pre order for a topper. I'm going to keep it til I get to enjoy the topper for a bit and then sell it for 20k with the rare topper. I will let you dissect the truth from jest in that . Either way I got to keep dp till I get the topper. Thx for all the inquiries
Fat J's Pin Wagon is ready to roll. Contact me if you have any pins needing transport. I will be around CAX on Saturday evening and Sunday if needed. Also heading up to Reno next week with room for an item on the trip up. Probably not on the back down though as I will be full once I get to Reno, maybe room for one pin coming back . Thx everyone for you interest and support.
Quick update on the Pin Wagon. I took my first run Saturday morning to pick up a candy cab arcade for a gentleman in Salinas. I've never seen one in person, adorable little arcades. Took me about 4 hours round trip and everyone was happy and I had a lot of fun.
I just received my packing plastic wrap, blankets and straps from Amazon. My little pin wagon is gassed up and ready to rock at a moments notice. Message me and I will send you me number to keep on hand.
Thx for all the kind words of support!

Pin Wagon scheduling update. I will be in the south on Sunday morning 10/24 if anyone needs anything brought back up north for a Sunday evening drop off.
Also will be traveling north on Saturday the 6th of November empty to pick up an arcade cab in Portland. Let me know if you need anything brought that way on that date. Thx for the continuing support

Quick update. Still room for at least one more pick up in the LA area Sunday. Peanut the pinball puppy and I will be moving north from the Inland Empire to Santa Barbara County Sunday before heading back up to the bay area. After that maybe one more trip south before our first trip to Portland weekend after next. Lots of room left for that trip north but will be pretty full coming back down. Thanks for all the support.

Quoted from EEE:Is there a NorCal seller of playfield glass? My cousin in Elk Grove needs a new sheet of standard size glass.
Or if someone in the area has a spare sheet from an upgrade, she would probably buy that too.
Thanks
I bought a glass from Chris at the Pinball Pirate last month. He has lots if your friend is close to Benicia
Morning folks. The Pin Wagon will be in the Sacramento area tomorrow 10/26 available for pick ups in the afternoon. Lmk asap if you want to hop on board.
We arrived back home last night after our first trip south. We picked up two pins in the bay area and brought them to the inland empire and then grabbed another pin in the Santa Barbara area on our way back up. Everything went well and I would call the trip a solid success although LA was miserable to drive through. Possiby a small mental anguish surcharge in the future
The Pin Wagon is stopping by the Pinball Pirate now to wait out traffic. I hear he's got Godzilla and Mando pro ready to go and a bunch of new used games in. Grab your credit cards and give him a call. I will load it up and bring it to you anywhere between Benicia and Salinas tonight.
He was crazy busy while I was looking around. It seems that this hobby is experiencing some sort of boom? First I heard of it lol
Fat J's Pin Wagon is finishing its second run to socal this morning. Thanks to some awesome navigation tips from pinsiders especially bluespin, it is going much smoother than last weekend. Picked up a pin in Santa Ana yesterday and have one more stop before heading back up to the bay area. I am scheduled to go up to Portland next week to pick up an item but I'm still empty on the way up. Let me know if you need anything moved north. I may also have room for one item going east on the 80 towards Reno and Utah later this month. Thx for the support.

Hey there everyone! Pin Wagon update. It's been one month since I picked up the reigns of the Pin Wagon and it has been a blast. Started off moving a candy cab across the bay. Followed that up with 3 trips down south and a stop in Sac. That was awesome because I was able to check out the Thunder Valley poker tournament after the drop off. Chopped three ways for a grand. Nice. Last week I hired the Pin Wagon myself and took a trip to pick up a pin in the SLC with a stop in Reno both ways. Lots of fun. I'm booked til after Thanksgiving but let me know if you need anything after that. Just a heads up. I will be less likely to take jobs north and east of CA until springtime. I don't like the snow. Thanks for all the positivity. I couldn't do this without all of the awesome pinheads out there.

I need to see about making some room. My TZ is in great shape. I just had it shopped by Pinball Panic this summer. Color DMD, LED and GI ocd boards, black powder coat, beautiful CPR mirrored backglass. I want to buy something a little older to add to my 80s line up so let me know if anyone is interested. Comes with free delivery by Fat J's Pin Wagon anywhere instate. 10k.
Trades and offers considered but thats what I have invested in it and I already found a sweet Pin I want to buy. Just thought I would test the waters. Thx

Quoted from Rarehero:Seconded. If I wasn’t trying to figure out what I should sell, I’d buy all of his games lol.
Thirded. Hana9so helped the PinWagon arrange two pick ups in Malibu last month. His assistance made the trip so much more fun for me and I definitely owe him one.

I've used Chris a couple times and he knocked it out of the park. He paid me out of his own cash for my pin and then collected from the buyer down in socal. Watching him carefully wrap the pins and strap them to the trailer is what inspired me to hit the road myself. I have been having a blast. I'm still a total amateur and doing this mostly for fun and to help deal with my empty nest syndrome. I run a tiny van doing mostly single customer runs which make it hard for me to compete price wise with larger shippers and even Chris I suspect. It's a vibrant market. Plenty of cheddar to go around. That said, I will be in Santa Rosa Tuesday dropping off some classic Sega pins. Empty on the way back down to Santa Cruz so hit me up if you're feeling froggy.

Quoted from JakeFAttie:so... pinball flippers are basically ruining this hobby for everybody else. I was set up to buy this machine (for 6200) and my wife freaked and I had to cancel (lost my $100 deposit). imagine my surprise a few days later when it shows up on craigslist for $1300 more. Obviously I don't have any skin in the game at this point (my wife has my by the (for)skin apparently), but it sucks for anyone looking for a reasonably priced machine that any half way decent deals are instantly eaten up by flippers who are keeping prices artificially high. I hope they get stuck with all this stock of expensive games when the market crashes. sfbay.craigslist.org link
Yeah. Some one is getting 007nd lol. That guy sucks. Allegedly
I may have lost my mind but I'm in the market for a Wurlitzer or Rockola cd jukebox. Show me what you got....
Pins hold their value. It may take a lot to break into the hobby but after the initial investment it's way better than most hobbies. Of all the people I've met so far in this crazy lifestyle, I've noticed two common denominators. Intelligence and strong marriages. Good people to associate with for sure.

I'm headed to Salem towards the end of June to do some apartment hunting for my son. Was planning to take my Fat Mobile instead of my Pin Wagon but if the timing was right I could possibly make this happen. Send me a pm and I will give you my number.

Sorry. I'm not heading that way until the last week of June. Bummer. On the bright side my Fat Mobile has that new robot steering and adaptive cruise so that makes the trip way easier on me by allowing me to catch a quick nap every now and then...

Hello to everyone. I've been out of the loop and dealing with some weather related issues around my property. This is actually the first time I've looked at pinside in months so I hope everyone and everything has been good and smooth. The reason I'm posting is because I would like to see if anyone is interested in my rick n morty. It has everything besides the butter plus a few tasteful mods. First owner, huo, low plays, clean machine. I'm available anytime to meet and show it to any of you. 12K. Thx
Unfortunately I'm not doing any deliveries currently or for the foreseeable future. I've just been crazy busy and have zero time to be on the road.

I have a large box of used parts from a restoration of a Scared Stiff. Playfield is not bad at all. Also in good shape are the plastics, translite, ramps, dmd. Old coin door is well worn. Best offer. Prefer a quick, in person deal. I can deliver around the bay area. Thanks

Maybe so. The Pin Wagon has been parked for over a year other than a personal trip to Reno and then Eugene. I've been working part time at the Boardwalk since Memorial day and it's been a blast. Way more fun than driving around with over priced toys...speaking of, I have been thinking about trading my Centaur towards a Munsters premium/le.Maybe my Halloween as well.
I'm having a blast. I'm fortunate to have the spare time to devote to it. I worked there as a kid as well. It was awesome back then and it's even better now...just like old Fat J
Quoted from woodpost:i also grew up near the Boardwalk. i used to ride my bike there as a kid and play the TAF, WW, and Cyclone for hours and hours. that main arcade was magical, especially in summers. the smells of waffle cones, funnel cakes, and saltwater taffy; sandy floors and the ocean breeze blowing through the doors. i've been trying to recapture that feeling ever since!
a buddy of mine got a job there as an arcade tech right out of high school. my older brother managed events there for the last decade and just retired last year. i have so many great memories and connections with that place. i wish they could have frozen it in time.
That Adam's Family only recently left the floor just before the pandemic. It was our last pre 2000 game
My guess is that TAF was the last pin fully owned and operated by the walk. I was told by an employee a few years ago that the pins are now purchased from and sold back to a distributor over the hill. Possibly some kind of buy back agreement. I wish i knew more. I saw a few arcades cabs on Craigslist 5 years ago approximately. I think one of them was the vector game with the shark but my memory is really foggy on that game. All I remember about that one from my childhood was that you put the quarter in and the shark comes at you and you die...game over
Quoted from Blenderhead:If anyone needs help on any restoration project, I am available. I have done many cabinet repaints/redecals (with sucsess), an can provide custom estimates based on needs/wants. I can also performrepairs, upgrades, mods, etc. Just ask Odin...
Pm sent. Let's rock
I still have my old Scared Stiff PF available. Comes packed in a Kruzman krate. I'm open to any offers as it's just taking up space
