Rockwall, TX
I am a "no hassle" type of guy, but I can't promise I won't talk pinball. I love pinball. I eat, breath, and sleep pinball. If I am buying or selling...we will likely be swapping stories. Sorry, not sorry.

Quoted from galore2112:I personally can’t stand selling a pinball machine but I only ever tried about 20 years ago (and failed because no one wanted to buy my super nice IJ back then for the typical price).
It’s big, bulky, heavy and made of a million pieces that can fail, one wrong move and the cabinet gets scratched or chipped.
Just a headache dealing with potential buyers.
Fast forward to 2022: WTF? These are now $10k+ items??? So now you have to deal with people who rightfully expect a flawless machine given the massive amount of money involved and then you have to be comfortable dealing with total strangers and $10k, $15k or more?
No thank you. I don’t want to end up on an Oprah episode about pinball murders.
I’ll keep my machines. While I would never buy them now for the going rate, the potential cash from a sale seems attractive. Selling them would be way too much hassle. And I do like playing or looking at them.
If it makes you more comfortable, I will buy your IJ for 500 bucks so you won't have to worry about the massive amount of money involved, and I'll even move it too!
