Quoted from Pecos:Welcome Crispin! There will be other project pins for your consideration
Thanks Pecos, not according to the wifey! She constantly keeps trying to wave her hand in my face and tell me this is not the pin you're looking for.

Quoted from bluespin:I have posted 300+ project pins in this forum, but no one is willing to help me? I won’t be posting in this thread going forward.
Damn bluespin that fuc#$d up. If there's anything that pops up in my neck of the woods that I can help you out with let me know. I have a kia sorrento so I can't transport the pin on the palette but I can drop off at fastenal and then wrap it if they don't.

Quoted from bluespin:Contact the seller and tell him that you want this, and that if they will let you pick it up tomorrow at a set time that you can send them a PayPal friends and family payment NOW. That’s how I bought my $100 Stern Nugent.
John I applaud your tireless effort in helping others to find a score in their backyard. Sorry I missed you at the Ramada but thank you for the Clapton/Harrison enlightenment!

Quoted from cottonm4:It looks like he has done some work on it. To me that does not sound like it is being flipped based on my understanding of the definition of being flipped.
And it is an OBO price.
Thanks Cotton
Quoted from ss-pinball:If he bought it for $X and it is now listed less than 24 hours later for $X+ (OBO), it is being flipped.
Even if all he did was add clown vomit LEDs and "shop" it.
SS, did you read the facebook ad and when it was sold? It wasn't 24hrs ago. When you drive an 11hr rd trip, fix, clean and shop a non booting game I hope someone is kind enough to pop into your thread and consider you a flipper. Did you even read or look at my ad at all? Where do you get clown puke leds? I wish you luck trying to hold onto every game you ever buy and not change your mind on a title. I put a considerable amount of work into the pin and I value my time.

Quoted from Jr99svt:Forgive me, I missed the rules of this thread post, please point me to it.
The topic of the thread is for people to post available projects they have or have found for others. If you're looking for a particular title try that game's club thread or maybe a regional for sale thread. Good luck in your hunt!

Quoted from HHaase:I'd put dollars to donuts that Mike Hooker snagged it already.
I'll take those donuts Hans. It was 350 until someone stepped on my deal. I was 1st to respond 5 mins after he posted and my 1st question was why so cheap? He explained the mpu had acid damage and no longer boots up. I told him he undervalued his pin and I would bring some more $ with me. He told me no that he had his fun with it and the wife asked him to clean out the whole garage so he just wanted to get rid of it. I told him I'd bring more cash with me and scheduled to meet him at 6 when he got off work. 15 mins later he called back and told me a collector named Joe in Commack told him he would be a fool to sell it for that price after he was told the game is sold. He than told him I can be there in 3 minutes with 1400. The seller told me he just didn't feel comfortable with him yet was now intrigued at how adamant he was about the price so he now wanted 1500. Thanks Joe
I hear you John but it was 10 minutes north of me on the island. At least the seller didn't just take the $ without calling back like in my friend Brendan's case. Brendan called the woman he made a deal with to go pick up his pin after work and this guy had already swooped in and snagged out from under him. If he knows he's not getting it he will run the price up.
Quoted from Mikespinball:I just don't understand this. Just because you're not caller "1" why ruin it for the lucky guy that is. We all watch different outlets hopping for a good deal, sometimes a great one and when it comes its awkward when you arrive to pickup the machine and some other pinball collector has spewed his opinion on the seller. If I am not the first caller I just give the seller my name and number and ask if the buyer does not show to give me a call. Call it a day and maybe I'll be lucky on the next one!
Yep Mike that's the class move.

Quoted from frunch:Big Game in Sterling, Virginia! $1500
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/416799539401545/?referral_code=undefined
Looks pretty decent, apparently works. With all this talk of repro BG playfields, someone might want to jump on this one.
I was 1st to respond and spoke with Rosa and we agreed to the 1500 for tomorrow. By the time it took for me to go get the cash and gas up someone stepped on the deal and offered more money. thanks guy!
Quoted from jrpinball:That's the way of the world now. Take what you can, and don't have any regrets.
scratch that reverse it! Rosa just called back and let me know she would honor our original agreement!
Quoted from cottonm4:Are going to keep it or are going to do one of your fix it up things and sell it?
It's going downstairs in the collection next to Quicksilver.

I was told I was second and that someone local would be looking at it. I commented that it looked to be in nice shape and laughed at the thought of someone passing especially when it was free. He said his father restored it but he just wasn't interested in it.

Located in Seymour, CT

Seller says it isn't working, and backglass has damage. Not sure on playfield since the pictures aren't great and it's dirty.

Spoke with the owner and he was kind enough to let me know there was a mouse nest on the playfield.

Quoted from bluespin:I’m hoping that someone that’s local and follows this forum gets it.
