The OFFICIAL- PINFEST 2019 - Buyers, sellers and partying thread

This is the place to be, do not be fooled by other threads. I started this very thread when they were unloading the original Iron Man NIB off the back of box trucks for $3850

This bar is open 24/7, where if you're in the know, you play pinball in the motel room.

Buy, sell and trade right here, with only the finest folks from both sides of the Hudson river.

Motel talk WELCOME

Party hard. We've got the tips and tricks to keep you upright and flipping until the fairgrounds close.

Welcome

In retrospect, that Alien was like 9k for sale at the show, which from what I understand is a decent deal now.

But more importantly...how much was the head? Cause all I saw run by was head. And perhaps someone jumping out the window after it...but it was a bit hazy....

Need those hotel discount rates. Trying to decide between holiday inn where they threaten to call the police on you when you're making minimal noise or the comfort suites where your room is shared with strangers.

I called Holiday Inn to find out what the Pinfest rate was using the group code on the Pinfest site and they had no idea what I was talking about. The code didn't work when the desk clerk tried to use it and said the only group that she saw was for Muhlenberg College.

Thanks for kicking this thread off man.

I love this show - I know I’m new in the hobby, and have only been to three big shows; ReplayFX, Pintastic and Pinfest - but Pinfest is so cool. So many games, so many people, great tournament TD’d by coreyhulse - and always TONS of great stuff for sale.

I’m looking for a Sega game, curved back box preferably.

Let’s all have a great time!

Anyone look into the rates for pinfest hotels that are shown on the show page? I attempted to last week and didn't get too far. I'm open to trying something different. I've done comfort suites, holiday inn and ramada in the past.
