Quoted from Grayman_EM:Do they report the amount that they got for the pin on the sale? Just wondering....
They dont report their sale prices. Like bluespin said, you can e-mail/call and ask. Sometimes they'll tell you what it went for.

Quoted from pinostalgia:I called, and the seller said can't divulge the price until Friday
Thats usually how the estate sales work...that want the foot trafffic in the door....not always though...
Quoted from bluespin:I called and bought a pin once before the sale started. Most calls resulted in the no presage response.
Me too- just depends on whos running the sale....
Its always good to make friends with the people who run the sales, never know when youll get inside info or an early chance to buy a pin!

Quoted from Mathazar:Anyone check out the results of that auction? Ended yesterday....a few went for some crazy money ("condition unknown" EK for $2350)!!
https://hameleauctions.hibid.com/catalog/259403/-8-dennis-worthy-estate--pinstripe-art--and-pinball-online-onl/?q=pinball
The playfield on that EK is better than mine, someone really wanted it-looked like it would clean up well.
The Playboy had my eye-always remember playing that when it came out, love the catcall on coin-up. For $1750-looked like it was a good buy even with fees...
Quoted from Jarson:Not sure how this is a project pin, but thanks for sharing!

We've been posting these in this thread for a few years now.
Like bluespin said, sometimes there are bargains to be had at these sales.
Quoted from bluespin:ESTATE SALE
Meteor
Classic Stern
Gilmer, TX
DATES: TH 03/04 - SAT 03/06
https://www.estatesales.net/TX/Gilmer/75644/2793588
I was waiting to post the link to this sale until they put some pictures up......they still haven't yet....lol
Quoted from DudeRegular:Sold for 3k. I had a friend get in line. They were going to open it up to an auction with 10 or so folks willing to bid. There was a guy from Ohio who had been waiting the longest. He spoke up saying he was emailed saying first come first serve and got it for the 3k.
Someone got a good deal!
Quoted from Pecos:I won’t tell you otherwise. Bring ‘EM on!
I, personally, am not that interested in auctions because of the commissions involved, but if it were a pin I was looking for...
Estate sales can be a good place to find a Project Pin. Question, do estate sales have commissions for the seller/auctioneer? Are the pins usually auctioned or sold for a set price? We have an online auction place here in Tucson that does a lot of estate sales and you can get some really good bargains with no commissions.
Estate sales being posted in this topic was discussed a year ago- OP Pecos approved their inclusion.
Some are projects, some not. There are deals to be had.
My goal is to get pins in the hands of my fellow pinsiders.
Quoted from vec-tor:O.K. this is man cave is a bit odd, but funny... "Cal Vista Video" neon above the pinballs.
For me it is like a Green Acres syndrome....
Man: porn? Check; Pinballs? check; One arm bandit? check again.
Woman: Pink fluffy room? check; Shoes? check; Jewellery? check again.
LOL.
I wondered also, searched 'Cal Vista Video' and found the answer....lol

Quoted from bluespin:I contacted the seller and they said:
Seller “I CAN SELL YOU THE PINBALL MACHINE FOR $1001
I HAVE 3 OFFERS FOR $1000
Respectfully,
Sellers Name”
Me: “lol”
I don’t bother to try to educate people if they’re obviously trying to scam people with statements like “I have three other people offering $1000.” “Pinball is hot, better buy it quick” type of comments.
Right..... 3 offers at $1000?
I've got one in my garage I'll sell to you for $999! lol

Quoted from scootss:How do estate sales typically work? Is there a set price on an item?
(and they don't show that price on the site...?)
They usually wont disclose pricing to get you to show up- BUT some do.
Each company is different.
If I see something I'm interested in, I'll reach out with a polite email and inquire. Most respond, some do not.
Got my first 2 pins from an estate sale (EK & BW100) 4 years ago, and have purchased 3 more at these sales since.

Quoted from Ceckitti:Seems a little fishy (no pun intended). Why would a 10 year member of Pinside sell a Fishtales for a $1000.00 that just needs an "Allen bolt"(?) removed from the head and most likely a bad switch/optic in the trough? And what is maybe up there on the list of least faded cabinets for a FT. Not to mention practically zero wear on the playfield fish inserts. When the pinside average for a FT is in the 3750.00 range.
Just sayin.....
I thought the same thing, but I figured that a 10 year member would have been vetted already- hence the 'possible' project label.
If someone got a $1K FT, the more power to them!

Quoted from Bonk:Thank you for posting this, brought home Cow Poke last night! This machine belonged to a very nice man for about 50 years who purchased it when he was 19 for $110. His brothers and dad each chipped in a little to help offset the cost. He showed me how to play the game and I asked what his high score was, he pointed to the backglass where he had a piece of tape with his score and the date written on it- 11,615. It was obvious that it meant a lot to him. He had great memories of it and shared a few of them with me but was ready to pass it on to a new owner. He wanted to make sure it would end up in a good home where it would be played and well cared for and I intend to do that.
Great guy and I'm so glad I got to hear about the history of the machine from him. Wish I would have played a couple more games with him before I loaded it up but didn't want to take up too much of his time. First time picking up a pin from this thread, thanks to everyone who posts their finds here!
[quoted image]
Great pick up! Congrats! Awesome back story also. This is what makes this thread awesome! Getting pins in the hands of those that appreciate them most!

This is still for sale. I inquired last week and it took him 4 days to reply.
In the meantime- I had a wishlist pin pop up close and made a deal for a super clean NASCAR- so that emptied my pin fund.
He told me that he does not have keys, but the coin door is unlocked/open. His name is John.
Good luck!

Williams ss $600
https://www.estatesales.net/IL/Wayne/60184/3981135
Originally listed at $1200.
My sister purchased some patio furniture from this sale and needed help moving the set. I'm out of room at the moment but figured I'd check it out.
They have keys, and it's on the second floor (wide staircase). There is some playfield wear at the top of the arc of the right flipper- other than that the pf looks good. It won't load a ball and as you can see from the display I assumed some battery acid damage to boards. Cabinet is in good shape.
Sis went back for last piece of the patio set and someone was looking at it and confirmed board damage and she saw some flaking on the bg. Still a good deal at $600. They sold a Tron for $2K and the buyer is picking up thursday- so looks like delayed pick up is available.
