Quoted from Friengineer:

I don't want to argue with a man named too-many-pins about pricing but the amount of battery puke and faulty lamp sockets in that lot should bring it down 2k, no?
Plus hauling 11 machines, storing them while you work on them, explaining all of this to your wife. I'm finna offer 3k, maybe they'll accept the 5k offer then.

Yup, that would bring price to $200 per pin, which is more realistic for projects probably needing a ton of work.

Gotta love Champ. As far as I know the only pinball machine with a big enough ego to so prominently put a picture of itself on itself.

If it hadn't been for that blue haired woman's head in the way it would've been the first infinity glass.

Looks like a decent playfield?

Just down the road from me but seller isn't interested in splitting the lot. It's open for offers, though. Maybe one of you crazy kids wants to take them all off his hands? I'll take an EK as a finders fee.

It does says "OBO." It is located in Iowa, but if anyone is thinking about going for it, there are 2-3 titles I would buy from you.

This is a scammer. He had a Pinside account that was cancelled so he opened another Pinside account.

Great point! Too bad the game is 2 shades shy of a snooze-fest!

#16760 3 years ago

Apparently this thread inspired me to give it a go (didn't hurt that they are both on legs and I finally had a free weekend). El Toro now plays correctly

Unless someone has an interesting trade in mind you'll probably find El Toro available to play at the Western Mass Pinball Club when we are finally able to reopen

Quoted from ejacques:

I'll throw these two projects out there since I've got a backlog of them right now. Williams El Toro and Bally Champ. Both kinda play but have ball count issues that I haven't attempted to tackle yet. Also have a William San Francisco in storage I could add to the right deal - similar condition to El Toro - cabinet painted white though). Anyone interested in a 2 (or 3) for 1? I'm about as ecclectic as it gets with my pinball tastes - so feel free to try me.

That picture looks familiar for some reason. Either way, needs a complete new cabinet.

One of the best of the fixed card games. Getting the double hold and returning the even or odd balls to replay twice is really magical. Amazing that Don Hooker was able to build circuits to do this in the 1950s. Helps that the game artwork is beautiful as well...

If I was in OH I would pick this up in a heartbeat. Looks in great shape.

$450 to $600 worth of boards & displays, $350 to $500 worth of playfield parts, plus a transformer, coin door etc. If it isn't worth finding a cabinet for it has over a grand in parts on it.

Put in some new fuses & she probably will boot up. $300 for a players condition game that just needs new fuses? That's a steal! Where's Pecos at? As thread OP he's gotta see this one. Probably the best deal ever posted.

I'll join the "I'm not buying the lot but if someone else does, I'll take an individual machine" group as I would take a project dracula or mata hari. I have a newly built rectifier & SDB waiting for a project game. <insert custom emojjjjiii>*

You sell a lot of parts and I see some good parts on this pin. I am not going to question your knowledge, but where do you see $350-$500 worth of play field parts? Educate me, please.

Looks like he did one hell of a job getting them sold and avoiding eBay fees. Guys like that get under my skin because them avoiding fees makes my fees higher in the long run. If you use a site to advertise stuff you have for sale give that site their fair share for helping you sell that item (or those items). I like saving money just like everyone else but venues like Pinside, eBay, Craig's List, Facebook, Etc deserve to get paid if you are selling on their venue.

Pretty much ever pinball machine has a lest $350 in parts on a populated playfield (even EM machines). Going back to High Speed: used plastics $75 for set (more if you sell them one at a time), ramps $25 each, 3 flipper assemblies @$25 each = $75, pair slingshots $20 to $30, kick out assembly $20 to $25, Drop target assembly $35 (or more), 3 spinners @ $8 each, out lane kickback $20, plastic post $10, hardware $15, light sockets $5, harness $25, apron $10 to $35, rollovers with switches $15, etc.

A few dollars for some items - a little more for others - it all adds up pretty quickly. You also have wire lane guides and other little stuff. Then guys are paying $50 (or more) for stripped playfields for wall art (I typically give playfields away because I don't want to ship them).

So now for guys thinking I am making a killing on parts. An average machine takes me about 12 hours to part out and another 12 hours to list and ship the parts (including answering emails - etc). So about 24 hours of time invested.

As far as the money end of things: cost of machine, cost of storage, cost of packing supplies, eBay & Paypal fees, plus cost of fuel to go get machines all add up. Typically I can part out and list parts from two machines a week. Netting me about $1500 a week in parts sales. Cost of machines I part out and monthly overhead takes about 50% of that money, eBay & Paypal fees another 20% of that money leaving me with about 30% gross profit. So basically I make about $500 a week dealing with these parts when I am working at it more or less full time. Less than $10 per hour & hardly worth the effort. But I don't do it for the money - I do it to help people and to save "junk machines" from the landfill so all is good.

Thank you.

Around 2003, I started cleaning out the attic and selling the items on Ebay. I learned that I would have an hour of my time tied up in setting the auction up; take pics, upload them, write the copy, deal with lots of questions, locate a suitable shipping box, try to figure out the shipping cost, haul the sold item to the post office etc. I learned very quick that if something was not going to sell for more than $10-$15 that it was not worth my time.

I have a few pin parts laying around that have some value but are not worth the time it takes to sell them. But I will not throw them away.

I appreciate all that you do.

Whoever gets this- I will pay you double for the ramp, wireframes and the boards. I have two cabinets and playfields and want to do a retheme on one.

It is truly a "labor of love" however I think a younger guy tweaking prices a bit and working a little harder than I care to do will do very well selling pinball parts. And that is exactly who I sold the parts business to last Fall. Matt (hazmat7719 here on Pinside) now owns 95% of my inventory and will start selling parts this Fall. We made the deal on the business last Fall at the York Show and I managed to deliver 8 van & trailer loads of parts and machines to him before this Coronavirus mess hit. I still have one last load to deliver.

Since I had to cancel my plans for 2020 because of the Coronavirus Matt & I amended our deal and I am going to continue to sell some parts until this Fall when he is going to be ready to get underway. So starting around Oct. 2020 Matt will be you "go to guy" for lots of great used parts.

For now I'll keep helping as many people as possible but it has gotten tougher with my very limited inventory these days.

Congrats on making the sale, Skip!
I didn’t know you found a buyer, that’s wonderful someone with the passion picked up your parts business!
I wished I could have met you at the York show. I got there so late I seemed to have missed everyone.

Speaking of Sonic Butterfly, this posted recently in the Denver area for $1K:

cosprings.craigslist.org link

OP:
- Absolutely stunning pin with vibrant colors! Very few made and few great ones survived
