I'll be in the market very soon for a new pin once one shows up local, but none of those would be it.

Quoted from Prmailers:Too rich for my blood!
Got that right Prmailers^^^^^Ouch.
Thousands of antiques for sale at great prices. <<<<<<<<< That right there means a wee bit of a mark-up. 
Give me the more broken ones (ie: lower priced Pins )
This is what I look for> newjersey.craigslist.org link
Granted its not the best player but cheap for the buck.
Quoted from Prmailers:but I picked up the firepower instead.
Good choice on the Firepower!^^^^ but for parts that Darling might be useful to someone.
It would be hard for me to take a machine that is close to operating and in decent shape to vulturize <(if thats a word!) it for parts than to either keep it intact or flip it after a service/clean-up.

That's how I feel with an EM. Could not even do it with a cracked Playfield and trashed Backglass, as all the mechanical parts were there and it worked so when I sold my Williams King Pin it was to a guy who was going to get her going again and not part it out.

I like my Jubliee(4 player darling) but it definitely needs at least 2 players to be fun.
I just picked up a 100$ Motordome on fri. NOt an EM but hell if i could pass that up

Way to go Jeff!
I'm the same way if I see a complete pin for $100.00.

Wasnt bashing the Darling 
^^^^ the price of the Darling might seem like a parts machine in $$$ compared to the prices of the ones at the Antique dealer
Was thinking someone seeing that price might snag it and either fix it/keep it or go the other route.

Compared to ^^^^ some Beer prices thats a steal.

Exactly^^^^
A gottlieb centigrade 37 came up on omaha Craigslist at 11:45 on Friday. I didn't see it until 12:45. Called on it ready to buy and the guy said it sold within ten minutes and the buyer had already picked it up. Wanna know why????? $200!! That's why! And it looked to be in pretty fair condition. Still frustrated that I missed it!

Sorry you missed out.
Can't do anything about that Pafasa as it is like winning the lottery on that one unless you plan to camp out on Craigs List 24/7 from now on.

This one would go well next to a Playboy machine.

That's a nice Red Raron!! 
Quoted from kwiKimart:That's a nice Red Raron!!
I thought so too, but where am I gonna put that one, in the kitchen?
Are you serious? Or are you the seller?

Sometimes we get a little too much sun on our heads out here.
I hope that's the case, I wouldn't waste my time on a project that far in disrepair and abused. At one time, I used to try to save every game, I've learned to be more selective now. Some games are just parts donars for other games with a better chance of survival. I'm in Cali too BTW.

I used to do the same thing with cars. What a waste.
Local deal of the day for me...........oh boy! 
Looks like the seller is trying to strike it rich in Boise from a sap. 
I wrote and told them I bought my Klondike for $450 in Boise 6 months ago so they should re-think their selling price...........no response from the seller to me of course.

Quoted from EM-PINMAN:Looks like the seller is trying to strike it rich in Boise from a sap.
Ask him if the Ghetto graffiti on the cabinet adds to the inflated price. 
hahahaha

Should have wrote to the seller ,Hey I saw the Klondike ad your posting and that you forgot to add the dot 2 zeros over from the right!,then write I know where you live how does 5 o ` clock am sound, I will be there cash in hand I will be the guy pulling up in the blue ford p/u! 
Here's a great classic find for someone. Based on photos it looks in fine shape.
I'd snatch this up in a minute if I only had the cash:
"PINBALL MACHINE OLD - $250"
Quoted from SteveFury:Here's a great classic find for someone.
Here's another one local to me Stevefury and it's even more rare. 
At least this guy is ready to barter.

Cool, I dig Hula Hula. Everyone associates Roy Parker with Gottlieb but he actually did the art for Chicago Coin's Hula Hula before Paradise and Pleasure Isle. I'd be happy to add any of them to my collection.

There's been about four EM's for sale in my area this month, but none of them are what I want. 
Everything I do want is either 6-1/2 to 8 hours for a one way drive, no thanks.
I could have picked up a nice Bally Hi-Deal for $500.00, like the layout, but the artwork is just too cartoon/childish for me. I would rather have a Hang Glider even though it is a multiplayer.

Safari's lookin' good! I just went to pick up a Sea Ray, but as pretty as that backglass is all lit up, the playfield and cabinet just needed to much work. So I passed.

now you can buy the star trek hahaha

bankrolls at 50%, bankrolls at 60%, bankrolls at 70%.........................
Quoted from kwiKimart:This Surf Champ looks nice....
Yes it does, and no noticeable salt damage!
Word of mouth thru other pinheads seems better.
Still haven't got a free one yet but my best deal was a $50 '76 Royal Flush on CL. They were converting their game room area to an exercise room in the basement. They had 2 pins side by side. There was the non-working RF that broke down a year prior that I bought and right next to it was a Bally title that was working - they wanted $1000 for it.
