This should almost be a requirement for all new pinball owners to own a cheap game for their first game. It teaches you that pins don't have to be 5k to be fun and learning a little repair is always a plus. My first two pins were $150 and $750. I'm hoping for the next pin to splurge for around a 2k pin but I am looking at some Heighway pins.
Quoted from swampfire:I'm like that too, and I sold TZ and WH2O for that reason. I'll admit that I sometimes look at the Pinside map for a game to see where the nearest other example is. If it's unique for my area (like "Hot Shots"), I'll grab it.
Is Hot Shots any good? There's been one for sale for awhile on CL and I have a weakness for cheesy Gottliebs. I played a Big House at Expo and thought it was pretty cool.
Quoted from pindunnit:I am brand new to the "owners" club, but have wanted a pinball machine since I was a little girl. I began researching machines about 8 months before we purchased and quickly became overwhelmed with the opinions, best games, good deals, etc. I knew that I might only get 1 machine and needed something that my husband and 11 year old son would enjoy. I didn't get a "cheap" deal but the machine I bought was from a well known local company and it had been shopped and clear coated.
My WhoDunnit game is perfect for our family and we have had very minimal issues allowing us to tiptoe into the fixing parts. The problem is that now I spend a lot of time searching for a great deal and dreaming of my next pin. Unfortunately, the husband and kid now have machines that they want.
Pinside has been a great resource and very helpful in getting me addicted.
There seems to be quite a few deals on CL in the Chicago area if you're not too picky on age or theme. I love trying something different that no one is talking about. There are a few newer games I would love to have someday but I'm in no hurry. When you're in a hurry is when you overpay.
