Quoted from JoeGrenuk:Steve Young retired, moved to Boca, bought the penthouse condo and took up shuffleboard.
Nooooooooo!!!
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:Sincere question - what’s the most “interesting” / complex EM?
I vote for Cleopatra EM: variable drop target value, bonus only for matching drop color with rollover color, quite complex for an EM

Of the more modern era of EMs, I'd think maybe Fireball or any other multiball EM would be a good contender.
But lately, I've really been digging older woodrails. They really experimented with their designs, and gobble holes can be a lucrative hoot. Check out some of Harry William's designs back then. He was designing in ramps before it was cool.

Seller: I have a complete Gottlieb Kings & Queens I'm parting out.
Onlooker: You Don't have to, Wade Krauss has new playfields available right now.
Seller: Not interested, I'm parting it out, it's what I do.

Like that knucklehead in Alabama or wherever it was who parted out a perfectly beautiful Bally "Hay-Ride" a few years ago.

I played this one for the first time over the weekend at ZapCon and thought it was really neat.

It has some really cool features like a ball lock so you can get a multi-ball, as well as zipper flippers.

Not really words, but I'm always amazed at the number of people selling an older pin on craigslist or ebay, etc. who want to show off that they have the $20 manual that you can order brand new, and the way they invariably illustrate that they have the super common manual for the game is they take a picture of it lying on the lower playfield glass.... obstructing the only part of the entire machine that you're super interested in seeing a picture of.
I couldn’t figure out how to remove the top part so I had to cut the wires to move it. Should just take some soldering to get it running again.
"........ I touched up the playfield myself!"
And:
"....A new ball and rubbers easily add $100 to the price." (a seller actually told this to me.)

We found this in Dad’s basement, it wasn’t working. Just a little WD-40 and it’s running like a champ now!!
Will you take 250?
"These things are like cars, you always lose money." You cant expect to get your money back out of it".
Had a guy tell me not long ago that he gave a game to his brother in law and when he moved he left the game in the basement.I asked him what game it was and he said he couldn't remember but it had boxing men in the middle of the pf.ouch.
Quoted from Atari_Daze:"No low-ballers, I KNOW what these things are worth, I seen one on eBay sell for $5000 once!"
Dang gum-it!
