Bought a Tommy to upgrade and replace my existing Tommy. Going to sell my old machine. It plays perfectly, playfield in good shape. OCabinet is a different story. Pretty beat up, lots of touch ups, Vietnamese reimport. Dmd has two lower lines out. Surface rust on bulb holders under cab. Some cracked plastics. Missing blinder setup. New flippers and rubbers, fully led. Boards all good. Again, this is a Vietnamese whore but performs perfectly as I'm meticulous about my machines playing 100%. Great game for a restoration project. Thinking value in the $2400 range.

Quoted from Azmodeus:Bumping my desire for a BSD. No rush, but I want one. Keep me in mind please.
Sent you a PM. I have one I'm ready to sell or trade. Looking for an Indy 500 but willing to consider other titles.

Quoted from kwiKimart:Not my Shadow, but a good find:
sandiego.craigslist.org link
I emailed him right when it posted. No response.
Quoted from SpecialK-33:Looking to trade a very nice Addam's for a TOTAN. Obviously I can add a bit of cash as well. Located in Santa Clarita. Just looking for a game I've never owned before AND that my wife will enjoy. She likes JPop games and we've already owned CV, TOM and a WCS94.
I recently picked up a totan. Love it. Hope you find one. Great game.
Quoted from PNBLWZD:Pinlawyer in AZ has a nice one for sale
I saw that one. I don't want to spend that much. I should have bought the nice one listed in TN on here for $8500. I'm in the market around the $8500-9K range. If not, I'll wait for the remake.
Quoted from scarybeard:I'd wait. Usually the 8K-9K range I see are project machines. Might as well get NIB for that price. I hope its soon... I want one too... I really don't want to drop 10k-11k. But It's a machine I MUST own someday...
This one looked pretty nice.

Have a NGG I'm thinking of selling. Just got it in as a project but don't think I will have time to complete. Comes with a ton of new parts including ramp set, cab decals, gofers, boxes of new stuff to complete it. Probably let go in the 3300 range.
Quoted from TheOnlyest:Right up my alley... But way too pricey. NGG's go around that price all the time, without requiring the expense and shitload of labor hours to do a full restore first.
I could work on the price a little bit. All the stuff for it is new. Maybe if I kept new ramps and included the old ones which are in usable shape I could get it sub 3000.
Quoted from TheOnlyest:Dude, paying you less and getting less doesn't make the deal better! I'll just spend that money on new ramps somewhere else! There's plenty of hacks and dipshits out there who would do a full restore on a game and put crappy old "useable" ramps back in it, but I aint one of them! lol
You really should just do the restore yourself, and then sell it, and get that extra $500-$800 yourself for all your materials and work... But I guess if you thought that was worthwhile, you'd make the time to get it done...
Since you seemed so concerned I probably will. Just have a lot of other projects. There's still meat on the bone. The game is a a player. Probably not worth the putting the new ramps on as the old ramps match the game. If someone wanted to assemble the top of the game, as some people like doing, you would have a player condition NGG with lots of extra parts. I didn't disassemble so not as motivated to assemble as it will take me a bit longer without a reference point.

Looking for a nice Shadow. Have cash or a nice Getaway with cash. Probably be selling the Getaway as I know I want a shadow. It's fully shopped, and I don't mean new rubbers and bulbs and a wipe down. Complete topside stripped, translucent rubbers, LEDs, pinstadium, flipper rebuild, some minor mods. Prototype with all the original documentation.
Quoted from gunstarhero:Too late to swap you mine for that MM?
I know I know, that's not a fair deal. I'll let you deliver if you want to even it up!
HAHAHAHA....Too funny. We could have worked out a deal. However, it sold via Craigslist. I shopped it out for the guy as well. He paid for the service and parts but you should see it now. Wish I could post pics in this thread. He is getting it this Sat.

Considering trading my Indy 500. Really nice player condition. Sunlight LEDs, homemade pinstadium, silicon rubbers, Star post lighting, game really pops and plays flawlessly. Not interested in sterns. I like Bally/Williams solid state. What do you have? Can add cash to deal.

Quoted from robin:Yes that's one of the reasons it got deleted. Although we do welcome unsolicited feedback (we call it "recommendations") on Pinside, but we do expect that feedback to have substance. What got posted was a bunch of name calling without any facts. As such, the feedback was preliminarily deleted.
Look, for what it's worth, I have been in contact with both the seller and the buyer and heard either side of the story. Yet I still wouldn't be able to pick a side.
I suggest they both post their side here in this thread and we can all make up our minds for ourselves. End of story. I hope.
Or even better, buyer and seller could get on a phonecall and talk this out in private.
If the buyer insists to post negative feedback, then he can send me that feedback and I'll consider putting it up on sellers feedback page (he can't post feedback there anymore since his original feedback got deleted). But again, it must contain substance, facts and not involve name calling.Call me naive, but I like to run this site from a positive standpoint. Of course I could start charging fees upfront. I hope it won't have to come to that. I think most people are honest. That said, if someone sells you a game on Pinside and then marks said game as unsold, please do let me know so I can ban that person from the marketplace
I think you are going above and beyond, especially if sale wasn't on Pinside. Do people leave feedback for a Clist sale on Ebay? No. Different platform. Although everyone wants to be protected from everything and everyone, it isn't Pinside's liability to deal with outside transactions.
Quoted from jeffro01:Yikes... So now I know to never trust the feedback system here, at all, ever...
Jeff
Never trust the feedback system that represents feedback of pinside sales? Your logic is flawed. Pinside feedback isn't an aggregate feedback system of all transactions in the world related to pinball.
Quoted from jeffro01:You missed my point entirely... Or did you not see the post about "why" it was removed? Negative feedback shouldn't be subjected to someone's "feelings". If you screwed someone over, you should be reported on accordingly and not have your feedback removed because someone else thought it was too "personal".
Jeff
Edit: I misread your post originally and while I won't change my first reply because it has merit by itself, I do get your point about feedback on pinside being only about pinside sales and no other place.
I agree, I think feedback should only be removed by careful adjudication of a mod or pinside owner and not subject to feelings but facts.
Quoted from izzy:I know this isn't about a sale, but anybody doing playfield clear coating in Sacramento and Northern California areas? Looking for a quality automotive clear application. Looking for a resource for projects now and in the future.
thx

If you were in socal I would do it for you. Just finished a tron le for a customer. I posted it in the tron club thread.

Thinking of selling my Congo. It's gonna be a bit on the high side but condition is awesome with little to no fade and no insert damage. So many mods. Thick Clear coated playfield is amazing, cdmd, mirror blades, custom neon green lit star post, custom translucent targets, upgraded sound system that rocks, sunlight comets, pinstadium, cab lighting, just amazing. Probably asking $6k. I sold my last one for 5250 not nearly as nice. Clearcoating the playfield takes forever.
