Someone buy it, bring it to Allentown Pinfest, and sell it to me for profit!

Shipping from CA to PA via STI would be around $450 I'd guess.

Interesting power switch. 
If I were local I'd still buy it.
OK, not an EM, but a Harlem Globetrotters for $200 is worth a mention (in AL):

That machine won't last the hour. Priced very very low. Export version, cool looking.
Quoted from hoov:Most of these re-imports (I'm gueessing that) seem like they end up on the east coast.
I think most came in at the port of Baltimore md

A friend of mine tried contacting them a few hours ago. Haven't heard the outcome yet.

i zapped them an email too a few minutes ago... i doubt i'll get a response, unless the seller decides to try and start a bidding competition after getting bombarded with emails...
Quoted from boilerman:I sent an email but it was up over an hour before I did. I am guessing they got hammered with emails. hope someone here gets it
yea, i hope so too...
i can't imagine that their email box is empty right now, that's for sure... that price tag on that machine is like dumping a 3 day old carcass in the middle of a field...
Quoted from hoov:That would be cool to have in a collection.....
Yup, would love to have that. Funny thing is, they made 5000 of them, so says IPDb! 
If that cabinet is a repaint, they did a nice job.

Any follow up on this? Man, I was jonesin' for this game, but just can't get down there.
"We've had offers of $800 to $1200 thus far, but we are selling it outright for $1800"
If it lasts until the end of the estate sale, they'll likely accept the best standing offer.

Thanks. How did you get that info? Considering the one on eBay, and the "Diamond Jack" that's been there for a while now, I'd say $1200 is about right for that game. It looks like two of the drop down flags would need to be replaced at least, then of course a total shop out. Looks like an excellent original though.

Joe, I thought you were driving down to look at this one. Sure glad I didn't go early and waiting in line to see a $1800 price tag. They must have been hammered with calls on it weeks before the sale so they must of toss a high price on it.
Just a bit too far to go at least twice; first to get a number (Thursday), then again Friday. Can't take time off from work, and then get there and not land the game.
Don't know if this has been posted yet.
I have for sale a 1947 United Havanna Pinball Machine... I am asking $400 OBO

Heheheh. Pinball stuff fur sure
Any word on the "Hi-Lo" in Delaware? I bagged that "KOD" from the estate sale. Got there really early. Was the first one there and another guy who was serious didn't show. Photos coming to prove it happened.

Way to go JR.

Amazing how that can change overnight.

Yeah, well I'm off on Saturdays. I'm glad it wasn't snapped up on Friday. The high asking price scared off a lot of people, but I did my best to educate the woman who was running the sale of a more realistic value. She was very fair and reasonable. I think I paid up for it, but I'm happy with it.

I got this ( great shape ) Had it all worked out with the owner ( super nice guy ) I get up at 4:45 am and arrive just before 8:00 am.
I meet wife in front yard just after another lady has spoke to her to tell her im here to pick up pin and she tells me hubby is in the basement.
I am just a few steps behind the lady that was just speaking to wife to basement. I find hubby and tell him im here to get pin and he says he knows the lady just told him we were here.???????????
I say what lady? I'm the one you spoke with and emailed back and forth yesterday. He says that lady just told me the guy from Charlotte sent her to pick up the pinball machine. ( His wife must have just told her it was sold to guy coming from Charlotte )
We were both confused .. I was just starting to get ready to think about all of this and wouldn't you know it she was gone!!!! Nowhere to be found.... All I can say is had I been 20 mins later she would of been gone with game or having it loaded up ... I would have not been very nice to her ... He was a super nice trusting old guy so I would have understood on his end.
I would of loved seeing her help him get the game up 9 stairs ....LOL

It did scare me off. 
I figured 1200 plus shipping was too much a stretch (if could even have gotten for that), even though I've got a game waiting to be shipped from NJ.
Still would like to find something to pair up with it! You must be out of room and need to cut something loose now, right?

They were actually asking $1800 for it! I think they realized that it was an unrealistic price but they were trying to get as much as they could for it. Yeah, most definitely out of room. My wife was a little chapped about tossing out the washer and dryer, but she'll get over it!
Quoted from jrpinball:Some photos of the NJ estate sale "KOD" I bagged today. Game loaded in the van.

Great game. I called about that one myself. Congrats on getting it!

Yep, knew that too, but the high offer was 1200 and I wasn't going to top that. I passed.
