Hi all,

I am a collector of over 10 years now and have 11 machines and space for only 10

Initially I had thought of selling my excellent condition Bram Stoker's Dracula to downsize my collection but after some thought I am really open to changing my collection up a bit so if anybody wants to do some trading or buying please let me know

Machines that I would Sell or trade are:

1. Bram Stoker's Dracula in excellent condition with full LEDs and an LED backboard mod asking price $3300

2. a Metallica pro I am original owner and it has got very little play and looks brand-new. It has no modifications and I would only be open to trade, not necessarily purchase, unless I could replace with another music pin. what I would love to do would be to get an AC/DC premium in trade

3. A LOTR made in the 2002 to 2003 batch which is reported as home use only although I cannot verify that but it is in excellent condition except for a scratch on the side of the cabinet. I also need to adjust the shooter rod a bit as it seems to be a little sticky price $4500

4. A safecracker Pinball with the wings and a number of tokens in excellent condition with the topper
Unfortunately I am into this for approximately $6000 so would look for a price in that range or a trade

5. A WOZ ECLE I am original owner and I was one of the earlier deliveries so it has the 5 V LEDS I do not know what playfield type Mfg it has But the playfield has no flaws except for maybe a little snail trail here or there and it has approximately 300 plays on it. No modifications made to it but it came with the topper

6. I also have a hobbit LE new in box in my garage waiting to find a space. I suppose if the money was right I could sell or trade that instead and later pick up another

So I thought I'd put some of those machines out there and see if there are people that want to either buy or make some form of trade in Southern California. I live in Santa Ana/North Tustin. I would like everybody to see the machines and I will represent their quality as best I can and try to send pictures when I can. I do not have pictures of them all already taken But can easily snap some pictures for serious trade-inquiries

Oh and machines I would be interested in are mostly Bally's Williams 90s machines. I would like a excellent condition Flintstone, I would like an AC/DC preferably premium, I would consider a Jurassic park or tales from the crypt or throw an idea my way and I'll let you know. I have yet to own a medieval madness or monster Bash so they would always be welcome in a trade

Thanks

woo hoo...just bought a tortoise to join the family this past weekend. He is so cute!

It probably goes without saying , but buy from Mike with confidence. Awesome guy and reputable Pinhead

if you have trouble selling one of those machines, I will take your TBL off your hands. I am jealous...that is all. GLWS

Would love to come to this as finally doors open around here on a night I can relax and play with OC pinheads. Nonetheless, camping at San Clemente and wont be around

I live in North Tustin, we are pretty much neighbors, and I have a WOZ ECLE I might sell. Not on your list but kid friendly!

Where were you the last few months...I would have saved myself a ton of money!

this probably deserves it own thread, but I feel the same way. I keep thinking of downsizing my collection since I rarely play them and don't need the 9 or 10 games I have, but then when I think of selling I think of a thousand excuses why I cant sell it. I have been thinking of selling the Safecracker I have, but then my teenage son who could care less about pinball says its his favorite one and I figure I could never get one back, I was thinking of selling my ACDC Luci but my friend comes over and says he loves that Pin and I think "well maybe I just need more time with it" etc... I got some I restored and think I cant sell it because I worked so hard on it. others feel irreplaceable because of their condition....it goes on and on. Its probably unreasonable but I just can't pull the trigger.

Maybe someday when I downsize my house I'll pick 3 and go with it

sometimes I think maybe I want to get reacquainted with the circus, but then I remember "I'm the master you're a disaster" echoing in my head. Jason is a great guy to work with and very fair. GLWS

Threw out my back and lying in bed, otherwise I’d be thinking seriously about driving out and getting this

Well, didn't think I'd be buying a Foo Fighters...buuuut, I'm buying a Foo Fighters. Soooo, something's gotta go!!!!!
What to sell, what to sell...hard choice, eenie-meenie-minie-mo....glarghghgghghhh....
How about good ol' Lord of the Rings. Anyone local in the market for a nice HUO LOTR that I've owned since around 2008 or '09?! Want to watch me cry as we roll it out of my house?!!? PM me!</blockquote

Isn’t there a song about that: (sung to the tune “there goes my Hero”)

Too alarmin' now to talk about
Take your pictures down and shake it out
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around
There goes Rare hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes Rare hero
He's ordinary
Don't the best of them bleed it out
While the rest of them peter out?
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around
There goes Rare hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes Rare hero
He's ordinary
Kudos, Rare hero
Leavin' all the mess
You know Rare hero
The one that's on
There goes Rare hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes Rare hero
He's ordinary
There goes Rare hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes Rare hero
He's ordinary

My above post may not have worked.. forgive me if I repeated myself

couldn't help but think of you and the song when you were purchasing Foo Fighters, not certain I even know what lyrics are about.

Not interested at this time in the game (sorry) but where is Santa Ana River Brewing company and do they keep a pinball in their tasting room…and finally how are their beers?
