sp excellent 2300 lah ok 1850

Ann Arbor, MI
I just bought a South Park for my first pin. I know a lot of people don't like it, but variety makes the world to round. And I love it and laugh every time I play it. Maybe that's why I rode the short bus to school. So if you enjoy it, don't listen to the haters.
I definitelly overpaid on my mine after seeing some stuff that was wrong when I got home, that I didn't notice when I was picking it up (broken plastics, Kenny Opto I thought worked wasn't , cabinet was worse than what I thought).
So if it is in excellent condition that's a fair price from what I have seen around the market the past six months.
PM me if you wanna know what you should be specifically looking for to make sure it's tip top as I have been inside machine tinkering around almost everyday for the past three weeks.

Take him up on that offer! 
Buying it was definitely a learning experience... I have already paid over $300 in parts and such to get it back into a more presentable condition. I suppose I could have left the broken plastics and such but I wanted it to look less "ghetto" and to play like its supposed too.
I was too excited when I bought mine because it was under the "market value" so now I know, go over any machine you buy with a fine toothed comb.
It seems that used pins are like used cars, you might be buying somebody else's problem.
1 game is in ct at pinballs.com(LAH) the other in nj. private owner. south park owner says excellent shape. adult audio mod, extra light package in back, all character topper. machine sits between mm and 911 and looks to be sold by apassionat pinball phanatic.lah was in backroom of pinballs .com and just pulled and checked, so would be ready 4 fri pickup. shop worker said it woul be checked and fix what needs fixing but not shopped completly. alas this is why i say ok condition. excuse my ignorance on terminology. also these messages sent via ps3 so grammer and typing also. both games would be pickup,which by the way would need to go in honda element. anyone know if they fit?
3 and ahalf hour drive each way i f i go for lah. makes it hard to come back empty handed. just want fun game that works well since ill only have one for now.
he didnt say excellent unfortunatly, like the sp seller. wish i could find a inexpensive judge dredd in great shape. ive beaten the crap out of sp at many an arcade and afraid ill get bored of gameplay to quickly but feelit will hold its value being in excellent shape, and its tv draw. aaarrrgghhh what to do.

That's what I'd be afraid of. The SP theme would get old for me REAL quick. LAH is a great game, and a great first machine, but it all depends on condition. Make sure to look at what lights are out, and if any bumpers are out, and check out the boards. Those are things I didn't do on my first pin, and thankfully it worked out, but they can turn into money pits really quick!

LAH read my last description on this thread
SP is a good pin for novice players or people that just wanna whack some balls around. I suppose since I enjoy pinball but not a master, I still enjoy the game. I have also found that its a great pin for people that you have over for a party. I had people over and they were fighting for the next turn. That's my two cents anyway.
Don't get caught up in value if you are buying purely for enjoyment. Like I said I know now I overpaid for mine, but I don't see myself getting rid of it.
Thanks guys for all comments. To extend thread someone offered up an above average condition twister for 1500 thoughts
south park is one of my top 5 must owns...memories and theme with a great and easy to get multy ball make it a keeper...I would love to play a twister and that seems like a good price...but honestly play 3 or 4 full games of each and you will know. all great games at around average today rates, wish any of those were around me at those prices,
I'd go for the LAH but I'd want a better price than what's offered. SP is an ok game but I don't like the theme or the show so it kills it for me. Also, it seems that SP, like Nascar and Austin Powers is a really hard game to sell for a "decent" price. In other words, don't get stuck with an SP. It has a limited audience.
Like all things, your tastes are not the same as the "masses" so get some play time on it if you can.

Have you ever played SP?
Because I like the theme and was looking for that Pin. Until I could find one location and try it.
My lust for that Pin evaporated really fast! You probably have to be a true fan to enjoy that one past a few games.
unless someone steps up with a judge dredd by sat morn im off to get the lah. thanks for all who chose to chime in. i'll probably be picking a second one up at pinfest 
yes chips r my guilty pleasure.
I've heard LAH is one of those games with mechanical thingys. Make sure to test out everything. Even take the glass off and run the ball over switches and activate stuff. As I said, it would be good to bring a Pinhead with you.
