OFFICIAL PINTASTIC 2018- Sturbridge, Massachusetts- Buy, Sell, trade and beyond

Quoted from SilverballSleuth:
Sturbridge is my town! Excited to play in a tournament where I have home court advantage! LOL
Seriously though, Sturbridge is a lovely place, with tons of dining options, stops for the non pinball family members such as; Old Sturbridge Village, Sturbridge Flea Market, and Stageloft Rep. Theatre.
Along with great dining options like; The Publick House, Sturbridge Seafood, Kaizen Sushi, The Duck, and local favorite, BT's Smokehouse.
I know that information is redundant to many, but if it's your first time in Sturbridge, you'll love it here.
Also, with me being close, I'm bringing stuff home. Looking for a CD jukebox, arcade games and of course pins - sell me your players X-Files or Independence Day.

Key to the success of the show. I've brought about 40 games over the 3 years of the show and I'm over an hour away. You should be bringing more than one because you are so close.

My point is this, Moberg has made it clear he wants to make a living off of pinball (part or full time, who cares). I will admit, Ive made a lot of money off of these games, but have also sacrificed money to support this show. Someone who claims they want to make money in this hobby and lives in the town of the show, has a moral obligation to bring games to keep his lively-hood alive in his back yard. A person who collects games and does not want to profit off of them as a primary or secondary source of income has absolutely no moral obligation to bring games to this show.

It is official, I must concede my title as King Of Free Play. I will not be able to attend pintastic this year. Please step up and bring games for the show.

Quoted from eabundy:
Who decided that? How many people were in this committee deciding which machines were the best? That Black Knight 2000 you have best on show was off for most of it. When it was working the upper flipper didn't work.
Gabe stated all locations we're to be considered for best in show. I supported the show and placed pins in every room. Sad that my efforts weren't considered worthy by you.

The absolute Monopoly that one person has on judging Best in Show games 4 pintastic is almost sickening. Bundy had games there that blew away games which were given blue ribbons. All Games should have been considered and I will recommend to Gabe that we go to some sort of electronic voting system. Put the power in the people's hands
