Would love to join this club if anyone ever is looking to sell or trade. Please keep me in mind.
I used to be a big skater back in the day.

ramps are not often broken and definately not obtainable.
If you decide to pass then, I am your huckleberry.
Quoted from dung:I've seen your ad for it so not sure this is an unbiased opinion
Actually from what I have seen in my hunting, broken ramps are not super common. Surprsingly many have pretty nice ramps.
I personally am not real picky on this title and will take whatever so long as complete and priced fairly based on condition.
One will come up for me eventually.

I would still like to join this club if anyone is interested in selling.
I have a VERY nice Godzilla I would consider trading for an equally nice Radical. Just a thought.

Quoted from dung:Not seeing it happen. You wanted to pay me 1200 for it. Think I am better off shopping it out and listing it for trade.
More accurately, sight unseen I offered 1200 for it. With the issues you described, no other info or good pics, and you just looking for the quick flip at $1500, my offer of $1200 was not exactly out of line.
I was just joking that you should bring me the second one. I will eventually find a nice example, so not really concerned. As with all things the hunting is part of the fun and I have plenty of ohters on my ISO list to hunt for. I do agree that when you are looking to maximize profit that shopping and getting a game working is always the best plan of action.
Quoted from jalpert:If he's selling a Radical for $1,500, either it is very rough, or you should regret not buying it. $1,200 for a Radical is unheard of, unless it's firewood.
it was rough, only had a description, blown out ramps, pf issues, and display issues, and a long drive away.
I dont regret it one bit. If it was local then I would have happily checked it out in person and likely taken it, but 1500 plus shipping for a game with issues, limited description, and known unobtainum parts blown out is not for me (I have enough of those already).
He was picking it up for much cheaper so I was offering him the quick flip where he could turn and burn with a heafty profit and no risk/time. $1200 for a radical is really not that unheard of since he bought it for much less. I know you are very fond of yours but I wont be paying 2500 for one with blown out ramps, pf worn to wood, and other issues. I am happy to pay a fair price for a nice machine, but dont agree with the owners that think a game with major issues is 2500plus.
Quoted from Darkwing:Don't hate on someone making a lowball offer though
just want to be clear here that I in no way made a low ball offer. He wanted 1500, I offered 1200.
I was not provided the photos and it was sight unseen offer from me with the description being worse than it appears.

Quoted from ryanwanger:I need ramps as well. Particularly the two smaller ones in the back corners.
I've got a local friend who says he wants to learn to make ramps. I'm guessing this is months away still, but I'll keep you all posted.
I am in for a set.

looks great! Gonna play so amazingly FAST! Be sure to protect your ramps and plastics since balls will be moving much quicker!

Quoted from patrickvc:Hey Ryan if you get a lot of interest in ramps from owners let me know. I’ve talked with Larry about these ramps being a good seller for him.
how many are needed to make this a reality?
I think if there was a number, then a few of us may be open to organize a commitment list.
Quoted from lordloss:Anyone pick up the $1800 on in nebraska?
Itis long gone.
Heard it went for 3 k after bidding started?
I am under the impression that if someone already has the original molds (sounds like Starship fantasy may?) then they like to make at least 100 and need to sell 40 to break even point.
Quoted from ryanwanger:Here is what I have so far: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pRwwMSqZ8gEJlVMEIiXhwULgG_8CnBqgREYT0VtinN4/edit?usp=sharing
Some of these people at the top of the list made solid commitments either via PM to me, or on posts in this thread. There are some comments that I should probably follow up with to see how interested they actually are.
I guess if we wanted to go crazy, we could start contacting everyone who owns one. I added all those usernames to the sheet with columns to denote if we've reached out, and if they've responded.
(Also, at least 5 of the people who have already shown interest don't actually have Radical listed in their collection...so the number of people on Pinside who own them is somewhat larger than what's in the spreadsheet).
Seems like a solid list! If Starship needs hard commitments then he should just let us know a number that we need and we can work towards that.
