I will be posting my heavily modded XM Pro for sale as soon as I get a chance. I am looking to trade for or buy LOTR after selling my XM. I may just wait to see about a LOTRVE but would move on a used LOTR for the right deal. If anyone is interested shoot me a PM.

Didn't know you were looking I'll keep an eye out for ya bro.

Well we all know preference varies greatly from person to person. Areas where I think LE is cool is the lighting and spinner. Other features of LE annoy me like the iceman bridge huge pop ups and poorly aligned Wolverine figure. I'd say pro playes faster and overall (just my opinion) plays a bit better. Please all LE owners I'm not trying to start anything or frustrate anyone it's just my opinion.

Just listed my X-Men Pro. Here's direct link for anyone interested.

Hahaa I knew you'd get a shot in Rob. Still one of my favorites for sure I'm just depressingly low on pins now. I'm waiting on a few but I need to change it up a bit. Since my collection is pretty small I need to cycle games more then Id like. I know first world problems right.

Thanks, much appreciated. If funds free up let me know. It really is a great looking & playing example I've put a ton of $ & work on it.

Thanks, guess you never know best to use non gender specific wording in posts.

Not many Congo's out there and some really love it. If your looking for one and can find it at $2500 (good condition) in CA I'd say jump on it. I sold mine which was in great condition about 2 years ago. It sold within a week or so after listing it right around $2500 if my memory serves me right. I really enjoy Congo it's one of the pins I miss the most after letting it go. Not a very deep pin but has a great layout with some very cool features.

Still got HUO heavily modded X-Men Pro for sale dipped price to $4100. If you have any trade offers or questions just shoot me a PM. Check thread linked below for pics.

Thanks for helping out much appreciated! Seems like more and more people are looking to buy homes in our area, the market appears to be warming up a bit. If anyone mentions they are looking to buy or trade please let me know.

I've played a year or two at East Bay Pinball League met some good friends but stopped going once my kids hit the scene.

That was a fun night getting to play ST for the first time while having a few good drafts.

That's a lot of talk about nuts my friend. Sorry I couldn't resist.

Have a POTC in Bay Area I'm enjoying it right now but would be up for a trade (+- cash) for LOTR, MET pro, IM, possibly AC/DC premium. Maybe more pm me with what you got if interested.

Ive decided to trade or sell my POTC in case your buddy is still looking for one. Below is link to thread with pics.

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/fsft-potc-northern-ca

Hey guys just wanted to give anyone looking for a POTC in the Bay Area a last chance at it. I have a trade lined up but would prefer to sell it. It will be gone by Saturday night so if you want it let a dude know.

EDIT: This one is gone.

It's the nicest XM pro I've ever seen. Perhaps I'm biased

Let's please try not to get to carried away and stay on topic. This is a pretty useful thread for Cali pinheads looking for pins. Let's try and keep it that way. When you see numerous new posts then look and find that most are OT posts it loses some of its usefulness. Sorry guys, I'm not trying to be a kill joy just trying to keep this one on topic. A seperate So Cal rock out thread seems like it would be a pretty good idea.

Caught red handed. You bet my friend!

If you start a thread on an item for sale it needs to go through the market place. You can mention it in a area FS thread like this without needing to do so. One gets wide visibility the other does not. Lets just try and keep this thread OT as much as we can please.

Looks like that former guy in the picture looked too hard. Use caution

Just an FYI for those in the Bay Area. I checked out that LOTR listed on CL for $5400. There was rust on the backbox plate boards had been changed. Rust on screws/guides on top of playfield and on many components below the playfield. None of this was mentioned when I inquired about machines condition. Just wanted to save others the drive.

Well I'm looking to add a pin cash in hand. So I emailed the seller of the SS in Brentwood/Oakley on CL. I asked for pictures (none in ad) and if his price was firm. I included my contact info. He responds that he only is dealing with serious buyers/inquiries. So I guess if any of you deal with this person be aware that asking for pictures and if price is firm or negotiable you are not serious in his/her book. If this is a Pinsider I don't want to offend but have no idea why you'd be so off putting to someone that is showing intrest in buying your pin.

I'd probably wait a month and see what the VE looks & sounds like. However if they didn't announce it in a month or two I'd move on and get a SM. As I'm not a big fan of waiting on pins that might be made for long periods of time.

Thanks for the info guys much appreciated! However, since he didn't provide any contact info or address it's not a possibility at this point. Frustrating because I was serious about the possibility of adding it to the line up. I'm not one to waste my time or anyone else's. Just surprised by his off putting response I guess.

Keeping an eye out for a Swords of Fury in Bay Area. If you know of or have one FS please let me know.

That is a wise move that should not be overlooked! I sold some pins and and I thought many on the way but somehow once $ was around a while it was no longer for pins. I now have a pitiful collection by any standards. I should of known better.

How much would you be looking to get or would you just want a trade?

Looking to sell or trade my heavily modded AFM for a popular Stern title or a MB. It's a nice looking and playing machine PM me if you want to try and work out a deal and I'll provide in depth description of machine with pictures. In most cases unless it is an LE I will be asking for trade plus cash on it. Pins I'd be interested in are LOTR LE, ST LE, MET, TRON, AC/DC. Would consider others as well.

Hey all I finally got around to putting my AFM on Pinside market. Asking $7300 or possible trade feel free to PM me with any questions.
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/for-sale-attack-from-mars-fsft-nicely-modded

Yes it is!! I've worked at a place that that I needed to be at work around 4:30 in the morning. I know how it is. I must say it was nice to get out earlier than most but it did cut down on my sleep time that's for sure.

Posted short video of my AFM that's for sale. Here's the vid n link to market place ad.

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/for-sale-attack-from-mars-fsft-nicely-modded

Well said. Let's try to keep this thread on topic and drama free please.

What's its condition like & how much you looking to get for it?

Here's one not mine just one I saw the other day.
sfbay.craigslist.org link

You gotta admit there were a lot of ins and outs in his post...

Sorry man, my bad. If I see a Flash Gordon out here I'll give you a holler.

I'm hoping I was first in line as I spoke with him soon after his post saying I'm interested awaiting pics for possible pick up this weekend.

No big deal man people want a pin no shocker there. I think everyone was joking around. Always up to seller who & when to sell regardless of who was first. The real trick is to pick someone you think is really serious and not just wasting your time. I never lose any sleep over spilt milk

Looking for a nice X-Men Pro please PM if you have one for sale or know of anyone that has one for sale.

Nail hit on the head right there. Especially the one I modded out & sold. Lots of work went into it.

I'd also likely go for an XM LE (prefer Magneto but open to both). Looking to add a pin now so if anyone has any leads please hook a Dude up.

***Edit - Added to the collection thanks to Delta9 much appreciated man! Big thank you to shovelhed as well!

Okay enough with the negative back n forth exchanges from here on out. If you must continue do it via PM as no one wants to read that stuff when trying to see what's for sale.

Well hope you get some playtime on Full Throttle at PAGG. It has the best layout and flow of any widebody IMO. Theme is not for me but the layout is awesome.

Hey all, I have a pristine HUO KISS Premium with lots of mods that I'm looking to sell. Asking $6200, if you're interested shoot me a PM.

Putting my nicely modded HUO KISS Premium back on the market. Asking $6100. Will try to get a market ad up with pictures soon. If you have any questions or interest just PM me for further details.

Link to my KISS Premium FS ad for detailed description & pics. If you know of anyone looking for one please send them my way.
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/for-sale-kiss-premiumle-stern-2015-2021#post-3200470

Reduced price of my nicely modded KISS Premium to $5900. I have a lot more $ into it then that pretty good deal for anyone looking to pick up a KISS.

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/for-sale-kiss-premiumle-stern-2015-2021

There is an HUO LE up here on CL for $5400.

sfbay.craigslist.org link

Lowered price on my nicely modded HUO KISS premium to $5700. That's as low as I can go on this one. This one may be shipped out of town soon but prefer local so if you know of anyone local looking please send em my way quickly.

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/for-sale-kiss-premiumle-stern-2015-2021

I'm likely gonna just ship it out. I'd like to keep it a local sale but that's kinda my bottom dollar price on it. Its in the price range to attract buyers out of town which helps. I agree with your assessment of the price point. I have time but I just rather get on with the sale which is why I just decided to drop it to what I thought was very fair for a buyer.

Nice, the more pins in the Bay Area the better! How did you like the GOT Premium before it left?

I generally try and let these discussions play out without my involvement. I am compelled to add my 2 (maybe three) cents here. If you all saw the other side of the coin & how difficult it is to run and continue to develope a site like this you may have a bit more understanding for the changes that were made to keep the site you frequent running. If the site helps you sell a machine to a member you can trust then what is the issue with the site getting a very small cut? I mean there are no ads running on the site, donations are voluntary, and there are mods that donate a ton of their time to help out but some are really trying to get around paying a small % of a sale that Pinside helped facilitate?

You can no longer sell pins on Pinside over the $3K mark without going through the market place and paying a small % (if it sells) to help the site keep moving forward. Sure there are ways to figure out how to be cheap and not contribute on a sale the site helped with but the staff is trying hard to get the new marketplace up and running. One in which buyers can review sellers so the community has a place to come and sell/buy with trusted parties. I know some will not agree with the change but please try to remain respectful to those that help keep the site running for your enjoyment.

I got a very good deal on an LE from Joe over at PinballSTAR. Goes by PinballSTAR on Pinside.

A friend of mine is looking to sell an awesome looking Refinery Star Trek Pro with custom painted armor and many more mods. Not even sure what he’s looking to get but would be more then a stock one. If you may be interested let me know I’ll try to get more info for yah.

I just listed my MBr LE for sale. Hoping to sell locally but open to shipping as well. If you have interest or questions pm me.

Haha, hi Rob hope all is well with you! I’ve been helping out when I can but not active on the forum. Life got a little hectic & I just never returned to posting.

Getting out of the hobby because my pins were not being played by the kids or myself. Seeing how excited some were to be getting the pins I sold made it clear it was the right call. I’ll still be at future pin expos for sure I miss those!

Thanks Rob best of luck to you as well!!

Hey all things were hectic for a bit but now all is in order. Pin still for sale and ready to move. I will do a better job of hoping on & checking PMs. Really prefer this go locally. I’ve had opportunity to ship it but want to avoid that if possible.
