Quoted from vid1900:If it has been professionally restored, might be worth $1000
Legitimately, from what you can tell in those pics, the machine does look really nice... just that sweet ass room as a backdrop that cracked me up.

It's just like when you look at chicks on OKCupid.com and they are taking pictures of themselves with 1000 pounds of clothes on the floor.
"Hmmm, what will better attract a decent man than showing that I live in a pile of shit..."
Looks like a house that was foreclosed on and the machine got left behind. The new owner probably just wants it outta there. Bet you could grab it for $500 if not less.

Hilarious! Hey, maybe she's thinking, "Guys don't like cleaning... I'll just let them know I'm cool with that!"
Awww yeah, let's get nasty between that half eaten plate of mac and cheese and this pile of dirty socks... Freaky!!!

The whitish stains on her dress. do not look good either. That poor chick must want out of that hoarders home.
Quoted from Magic_Mike:You guys are quick to judge other people.

I think that's a reasonable asking price. Says he won it in a contest. Who cares where he lives?
If it was a HUO TSPP for 1000 would you pass? I wouldn't.

Let's all calm down. I just thought it was funny the guy took a pic of such a nice machine in that room.
Ratchet down the moral indignation, I'm sure the dude doesn't live in a crack house.
Sheesh...
Edit: Actually kind of irritated thinking about your replies. I understand that it's sometimes hard to get context over the internet, but my intent was not to say, "Oh, look at this poor person trying to sell a pinball machine! HA, ha, ha..." I never assumed that this guy was broke. I thought it was just a sun room on the back of someone's house that just had junk in it and I was thinking, "why wouldn't you sweep up and pick the trash up off the floor before taking this picture?"
I wouldn't snap a pic of a pin I had for sale in my garage right now, because it's full of crap! End of my point.

Ditto! I'd be all over it if it was a TOTAN or BoP!

Now we know what vid checks out when he's on the road!
C'mon vid, fess up, that's probably one of your *layover* stops! 
Is that your jar of giant koshers sitting there?
Quoted from WOLF:Yes, welcome to New Castle...The arm-pit of PA. Unfortunately, that's what aproximately 50% of the city looks and lives like.
Ever since Rockwell Automotive closed their heavy truck steering axle plant in the early '90's, New Castle went down the toilet.

When offering anything for sale. It should be shown off in the best way possible.

Mesta machine, Johnson Bronze, PECOR, Rockwell Int., The Cray Co. and just about every other major manufacturing comany that was ever here. All someone has to do now is pull the handle. (flipper)
