Quoted from TheOnlyest:Nope, it certainly wont... you should only have 2 expectations when it comes to CL sellers...
1. Always assume that the seller is a clueless drooling dipshit, because 80% of them are.
2. Expect that the value of what they're selling is actually 50% or less of the dilutional price they're asking,
CL has been very kind to me. Yes, there is a lot of wading through BS but every once in a while you can grab a diamond in the rough for a song.
You have to be willing to take a road trip. I get many good leads in places that are very rural. You also need to be able to judge people and make them trust you. Nothing like paying sight unseen to gain trust. If I am underpaying for a pin, I will actually tell the seller, they like knowing I'm not a thief (just an opportunist with cash)

Quoted from NicoVolta:Well sheeit... an unknown buyer snagged the Fan-Tas-Tic out from under us.
That's how it goes in the Wild West of Craigslist... :/
Pretty sure we'll find another Fan-Tas-Tic by TPF 2017. Hope so, anyway.
Funny to see love for Fan-Tas-Tic. That's a game that is commonly parted out.

Quoted from bluespin:Manufacturer: Gottlieb
Game/Type: Central Park / EM 1 Player
Month/Year: April 1966
Production: 3,100

OP: Gottlieb Central Park Pinball Project Complete AS-IS in Alpharetta, GA
For sale is a project Central Park. The machine is complete, but needs to be gone through to get it working. The backglass is in very nice shape, and was sealed at one point. The playfield is beautiful with very little wear. All of the playfield plastics are intact. The cabinet is in decent shape as well. The machine will power up, but continues to cycle. I will admit that if this were a Hurdy Gurdy I would not be selling it but unfortunately it is not. The machine comes with a backdoor. I am listing this machine in AS-IS condition.
Asking $600 OBO. I'm located in Alpharetta, GA and the machine is easily accessible to ground level. If you have any questions, or need additional pictures, please let me know! Bob Cunningham comes through Atlanta often and would likely be an option for transport if you need it.
There are a few machines I would be interested in trading for, the list is here:
Gottlieb Majorettes
Gottlieb Flipper Fair
Gottlieb Lucky Hand
Gottlieb Strange World
Gottlieb Gold Strike
Gottlieb Dimension
Gottlieb Pin-Up
Gottlieb Atlantis
Gottlieb Melody

The seller said that the machine is located inside of a ground-level storage unit, so it should be an easy pickup for whoever gets this one.
Lockdown bar is not shown, but seller says that they do have it.

Quoted from Matesamo:I saw the ad on my phone and did not realize the box was on the cabinet body. I am going to look at it today (the seller lives a mile away from me so why not) but realizing that the legs are off and the head is flat on the machine I don't have a great feeling about it.
Uhhh why? that game is barely worth the ask even intact and working.

Quoted from Matesamo:<rant>
I don't mind missing out on cheap projects but it irks me when someone with no interest in pinball buys a project just because its cheap only to turn around and immediately relist it for over 3x what he paid IN THE SAME GROUP HE BOUGHT IT FROM. I mean at least clean it up a little or wait a week or two.
</rant>[quoted image]
Not my style but nobody is forcing anyone to buy/sell. It's a matter of perspective. What's the difference between this and any stock or commodity? This is still America last I checked. The "flipper" is still taking a risk and having to manage the transaction. More power to him/her I say.

OP: For sale is a 1966 Gottlieb Pinball Machine for parts or to be restored. The end of the power cord has been cut so I don’t know if it powers up or not. The front of the cabinet does have some separation that needs to be repaired. I have a set of legs to go with it the game appears to have all parts. Asking $250
Deposit sent on it, had it listed for $200 when I got to put a deposit down so cool, the saved $50 will pay for the 7 hour round trip drive.

Quoted from too-many-pins:I am going to do something "totally out of character" for me. Typically I am not one to do "quick flips" but I had a chance to pick up a Gottlieb Spin Wheel today someone posted on Facebook for free. I don't "take advantage of people" so I emailed and told them I would gladly pay a "fair price" for the machine. Anyway the "seller" got back to me and we made a deal. So I ran down to pick it up a little while ago. My plans were to grab it and just part it out since it didn't sound all that nice but after taking a "quick look" at it I think it is way too nice to part out. If anyone fairly local would be interested in grabbing it from me $300 CASH will own it before I start messing with it.
Anyone who follows my post knows I am trying to get the garage emptied out so I can paint. So I really don't need another project sitting around. So I figured I would offer this up if anyone is interested - if not I'll just toss it into storage until Fall then bring it home and work on it after the garage is finished.
With travel cost and what I paid I need $300 FIRM for it. It is worth double that fixed up and about $750 in parts so I am not going to give it away. I just don't need another project right now so I figured I would pass it along if anyone was interested. It is still in my van so it will be a few hours before I can take a closer look or get pictures.
I have restored two spin wheels a VERY fun game.

Messaging seller now, to my surprise he’s responding. Dibs if legit
Quoted from AlexF:Sale was pending got the address. Seller told her to bring a dolly etc. Hmm, she got called off with a weird excuse. They never want to admit they got a better offer. So it goes... Not worth getting bummed about.
Seller went dark.
Was to call me in an hour, two pass, finally responds sold pending pick-up
Quoted from AlexF:Not trying to step on toes here. I wouldn't have even known about it if you wouldn't have posted.
Uhh I called dibs man. I was going to talk to the guy. If I sussed out he was for real I’d have prepaid for pickup at a later date. It was a long shot anyway
Quoted from AlexF:Sorry I guess? In between your posts my wife had a deal setup. I don't even have Facebook so the initial opportunity was all yours.
Everybody hates it when a seller doesn't honor the first in, until they do...and that doesn't go over either I guess. Anyway I should probably just shut up as we all know nothing is certain until it's in your truck and you're pulling out of their driveway. Of course there was the time (long story) that wasn't enough either so...
No worries, If I was all that hot and bothered for it, I wouldn't have posted it here. I'm a Gottlieb guy but really like the art on this one.

Very pretty game and looks to be in good cosmetic shape.
Quoted from cottonm4:I go to a Friday night auction all of the time. I have been bit when they say "2 times the money". I thought I was bidding $10.00 and turns out it was $20.00.
So do you only pay half in a Dutch auction?
Quoted from cottonm4:I have never been to a Dutch auction and I am not familiar with them....
That was a joke son, a joke I say. (Boy’s as sharp as the leading edge of a basketball, basketball that is)
Quoted from cottonm4:Sorry. I did not see your joke icon.
I like to sneak my jokes in. No apologies or offense intended my friend. When you go Dutch (as on a date you split the tab) thought it was a clever play on the theme. Ymmv
Your description of auction practices was very informative. They certainly play a few games to keep the bids coming in and you have to think confusion of the bidders is certainly one of their objectives.

Impossible deal. No way no how
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!

Nice story, did you tell him it’s worth 6 or 7x what he’s asking? If everyone left happy I guess it doesn’t matter but you got the deal of a lifetime if you got it at $200.
Quoted from Oscope:OMG - do you have a discussion with the seller for everything you buy and enlighten them that they should charge you more?
They are adults and people do things for a multitude of reasons - if you don’t do a bit of market research you can sell too cheap OR buy too high. No one is obligated to do research for a negotiating party...
Nanny State USA rolls on I suppose
At ease Francis. I figured since they were braiding each other’s hair.. I bought a world fair advertised for $50 and paid the guy more than he was asking by multitudes but less than it was worth with us both knowing the value.
I had been looking for a cowpoke for years and ended up buying one 900 miles away for a lot more than that. It was really rough but made it more rewarding to restore.

Quoted from jrpinball:I looked at it a couple of years ago while attending the Saratoga show. Woman met us at the storage unit. Game was directly on the floor at the front of the unit. Thought it was pretty rough, so I made her a commensurate offer. She thought it was worth a lot more, so we left and headed back to the show.
It was rough, cabinet painted over with structural issues, flaking backglass, water damage, playfield planking and paint loss. Took a lot of love but worth it.

I’m looking for a Surf Champ or surfer to restore but looks like no backglass? 350+ is not a deal if I have to source that.
Quoted from ChipS:Or if you want an even NICER Surf Champ backglass, Ron Webb is doing a repro later this year - aiming for December. And his backglass are far SUPERIOR, IMO.
I have had several bgresto glasses. Great option if none other exist but you can’t beat a Webb repro.
I have been lucky enough to grab 2 or 3 great deals from this thread. My strategy is:
1. Be 1st if possible, if not first, 1st to commit
2. Don’t haggle or ask for more pictures
3. Establish trust, Advise seller they can probably get more than they are asking but I’d be happy to pay their asking or something more they and I would be happy with
4. Demonstrate trust, try to get seller to accept a deposit sight unseen.
5. Show up as agreed with cash as agreed
6. Finally ask seller to pull ad, stop answering or entertain bottom feeders that will inevitably try to snipe it by offering more
It rarely works but when it does, it’s always a pleasant exchange vs seller trying to up the price or sell out from under me. I have yet to lose a deposit (though some may have invented excuses to back out. Those people I don’t deal with in the future)

That would be a beautiful restoration piece. Love the simple art.
Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:Hopefully. I sent the seller a message just mentioning that piece is missing and if they happen to see it, since they mentioned these came out of an attic, that it should go with the machine.
They flipped out were extremely combative and said they’re gonna throw them out tomorrow. Hopefully we can save these and I’ll take this as an opportunity to learn how to weld and make wireforms. I have all the needed equipment as my Dad was a welder.

Quoted from tomdrum:A whole bunch of project games at auction in Fredrick MD closing on 8/11/2022:
https://www.liveauctioneers.com/catalog/255769_breweriana-arcade-and-collectibles/?page=1&pageSize=all
"Some mold present" is a common comment on condition. Many missing legs. Some rare titles like a Bally Trio and Segasa Casino Royale. Gun games and bunch of other stuff. Hammer price plus 20% premium.
I won an auction I found off this link. Thanks!!
Now I need to find a way to snag the Target Alpha head and the KOD project I won on Thursday in a tight window.
Auction conditions say I must pick up in Upper Black Eddy, PA on Thursday 8/11 between 1:00 pm - 4:30 pm (500 miles away)
I'm 500 miles away and going to a concert the night prior. Going to be a long day if I can't find some help.

Quoted from hoov:BgResto hasn't even done one according to Steve's website. He would need a good example of one to do the art and then he would be set for future glasses.
If Steve hasn’t done it, it hasn’t been done. He did a great job on my merry go round.

Quoted from AlexF:Anybody want a Neptune project? I started on it but have kind of lost interest in working on this stuff.
No major hacks, complete with paperwork. Needs a backglass. Nice cabinet and pretty nice playfield. I'm going to start reassembling the playfield. Will need to be mechanically shopped out.
$1000 local pickup.
