Quoted from Pin-it:Little Chief Not worth their asking price,$500 max imo.
limaohio.craigslist.org link
But, wait - it's VINTAGE.
Quoted from way2wyrd:Its a nice looking machine. 1300 tho?
--Jeff
I talked with him before he posted it, said he paid S&B over $1000. I told him I just wasn't interested in paying much for an oddball manufacturer. I have enough to deal with getting the gameplan going.
Quoted from way2wyrd:Very Im hoping on 2 things
1. The gentleman keeps his word and doesnt sell to the guy that im sure is calling with a double offer
2. ME can take pen off a playfield without to much effort
--Jeff
CRAP. I better call with a triple offer. 
Quoted from PMcGee:not mine, but just down the road a bit . . .
PINBALL BALLYS - $400 (HUFFMAN)
That is a scary place.
Quoted from PMcGee:1966 Wild Wheels Pinball Machine - $1500 (Wylie, tx)
" target="_blank">dallas.craigslist.org link
1966 Wild Wheels Pinball Machine $2,500. Very Good condition, works well.
Contact me for more information.
Cash or major credit card only.
$1,500, $2,500, whatever it takes.
Quoted from SchertzPinball:The backglass is kind of crappy on this one.
Dang. I was hoping for "stellar".
Quoted from PMcGee:SPACE ODYSSEY EM PINBALL - $400 (South Austin)
... the backglass/playfield are in pretty stellar condition. I .
Quoted from SchertzPinball:The backglass is kind of crappy on this one.
13 hours after I first texted I finally got the pictures. Backglass is nasty.

Quoted from PMcGee:Derby Day Pinball Machine - $400
" target="_blank">sanantonio.craigslist.org link
Made by Williams in 1967. This game is one of 5220 made. In great working condition, this fun pinball game was originally one ball bidding game, with people who would bet on which horse would be the winner.please email me MorganMX1xxxxxxxxxderbyday.jpg 32 KB
Almost certain scam. These xxx (AT) Gmail things have been reported as scams on a regular basis. I've seen them in other Craigslist markets as well and the pricing borderline too good to be true.
Quoted from textrivers:Pat Hand in MA, $100 OBO:
boston.craigslist.org link
That's my price range, but I'm not a huge fan of that title. (In other words, the few times I played it I got my ass kicked by the bumpers in the lower left and the GAPING right outlane.)
That is most likely a scam. watch for these "(AT) gmail" ads. They all have nice prices.... search a bit and you'll see lots of references to them as scams.
Quoted from huelagan:Watch out for those ads with email in the text and no other contact info provided...like that Rancho. It's BS. They email back a link to your email for penny auctions. There are a few showing up all over LA, SD etc. I replied on one a week ago fortunately using a junker gmail account I use for that type of thing. Flag it.
AGREE! Can't say enough. (at) gmail is scam.
Quoted from Pin-it:Jungle Queen - $1,500 - only has 11,000 plays on it.
Volley - $1,250 - incredibly clean game.
$2,250 for them both.
pittsburgh.craigslist.org link
I went after JO + Volley when it was posted here, just couldn't get a deal done.
Quoted from ccotenj:i wonder if he has any clue how much he is gonna have to "negotiate the price"?
And, if the ball is stuck in the machine, I'm gonna have trouble paying more than $50.
Quoted from PMcGee:(no images in the ad, so I included one snitched from IPDB to show the playfield.)
Race time pinball machine - $100 (Se)
" target="_blank">sanantonio.craigslist.org link
In fair condition. I don't know if it works or not, but I do know its taking up room in my shop. These things can be worth some money when reconditioned. Hundred bucks and haul it away. Call or Txt me if interested 8303xxx299race time ipdb.jpg 140 KB
I *Really* want this as I've been looking for a horse racing themed game. Tried to call and txt a couple hours ago, but no answer yet.
Quoted from ccotenj:calling jeff... calling jeff...
No dammit, I already called it above!
Disclosure - Jeff clued me in ASAP this morning because he knew I'd want it and he is a good dude.
Quoted from jrpinball:I hope one of you guys grabbed this game. It's a very good player. One of the best of the usually poor playing "belly bar" games Gottlieb churned out. I've played two of these and it's really a blast to play!
Another really good one is one you don't see very often at all; "Gondolier".
I really wanted it, but a call, an email, and 3 txts went unanswered.

ON IT. May need local assistance.
Need horse racing themed machines!!!
Thanks to PMcGee and this thread, I did get the foto finish today. Thanks also the the good seller who didn't budge when some Dallas folks tried to overpay when I had already committed to puchase. Pics here: http://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/foto-finish-new-project

Quoted from PMcGee:Pinball Machine-Target Alpha - $550 (Edgewater)
" target="_blank">annapolis.craigslist.org link
Target Alpha Pinball Machine. Classic! Hard to find!! Good condition. Not currently working but comes with manual and has worked in the past. Glass is perfectly clear and not distoring. Target alpha graphic designs are excellent. Allows for 4 player and is coin operated. Must see to believe! True collectors item! Price is FIRM.target alpha md.jpg 29 KB
I couldn't sell mine at TPF for $575.... and it worked 100% the entire time and it was played continually. I get home and I have 3 possible sales lined up - funny how that happens.
Quoted from ccotenj:hard to beat a complete machine for a buck and a half...
A buddy in San Antonio just made a deal for this one, it sounds like a great deal.
Quoted from hoov:Someone here on Pinside has to get that Abra..........who will it be?
I'm gonna pass on this one - it looks good, but always hard to tell.

vintage pinball machine - $650 (georgetown)
" target="_blank">austin.craigslist.org link
1977 Gotlieb Centigrade 37, limited production pinball machine. Works and in decent shape, but needs some TLC as has been sitting in my mother's garage for 20 yrs. Restored, machine is worth $1200 - $1500.
I saw the ad yesterday... just have to draw the line somewhere.
Someone tell my wife I've shown restraint, once anyway.

Williams Smart Set - Finally an EM !
3 weeks later
Its a great game. I love that you really have to work it to light'em up. The design of the bonus lights is really cool as well, how it feels random but how many bonus opportunities you get depends on how many balls you've lit.
Quoted from hoov:Can't imagine this would last very long.
I'm still in my pinball purchasing freeze.... but I was tempted to lift it for this!

Quoted from ccotenj:neither one of us really needs another project lying around doing nothing...
My mantra as of late.
Quoted from RobT:I saw that Buccaneer. Looks nice. What do you guys think of the price though?
High for my area, and we can be high compared to Midwest and northeast. Not sure about SoCal.

Gottlieb Merry -go-round - $175

I'll answer that - way2fingfar!
Quoted from o-din:Me too. I saw them on that tour with Pantera and Exodus. It was "lovely".
BCR900819-HB.jpg 35 KB
WOW. I missed pantera live. One of my few concert misses I've regretted. This Fall's tour is Slayer/ST/Exodus. Excited about Exodus since I haven't seen them. Slayer I'm wary of since last time I saw them was the last tour for Jeff Hanneman and they had Dave Lombardo in which was awesome.

1967 Gottlieb "Sing A Long" Pinball Machine - $650 (North Dallas)
1967 "Sing A Long" pinball machine by Gottlieb. Excellent condition with only minor blemishes. This was the beginning of the very fast paced pinball machines of that era. A classic in every way with little hours and mostly used in a private residence. It was a gift when I was 5. I am now 39 and have only recently pulled it out of storage and replaced/fixed, responsibly, all lights, fuses, etc. Loads of magical fun for countless hours. This machine is amazing! Just look it up and read the testimonials and appraisals ..... Asking $650 You have to see it/play it to believe it!! I can email you more photos and may possibly deliver..... text me, Matthewsingalong.jpg 22 KB
I checked in on this one a while back - the playfield looks like it was played for all those years with a rusty ball.

Quoted from o-din:Me too. But I must eat first! I'm hungry!!
Seems I got a phone call from rat last night. I think. I gave him a little Williams tech help for a machine he was working on. Man was I hammered!
Rat + Williams?
Rat + Tech?
The world is turning upside down. 
I can't stand looking at my slick chick. Its soooooo stark white and the webbing is very heavy. I may actually have the repaint repainted - otherwise I'm just going to have to sell it. Good money after bad for sure, since I overpaid for this thing in the first place as I was caught in a rush...

Quoted from o-din:Now that Kings and Queens on the other hand has found a place in the house.
My K&Q found its way out of my collection, at least it made it to someone who played it as a kid and had it #1 on their list.
Quoted from Pin-it:Description→ Williams Horiscope? early 50s - $800 (blkyn)
newyork.craigslist.org link
I'm guessing 1971 Zodiac? Don't see anything like that for 50's...
Quoted from 2FlippedOut41Mo:Pro Football in San Antonio - $1100
sanantonio.craigslist.org link
Weird partial repaint.
I just sold a much better one into San Antonio for much less money a month or two ago.
