Quoted from cottonm4:I beg to differ.
Up where they seem to be falling from the sky you might be be swimming in them. But not where I live. My Cat, Dragonfist, were each 1500 miles from home. Even Big Games don’t show up much.
I think he was talking about the pins in the previous post.

Quoted from alexanr1:Would love the OP (Pinlawyer) to price my collection out:
- Funhouse
- RoadShow
- Wipeout
- Shadow
- WhoDunnit
- TwilightZone
- Baywatch
- Haunted House
- Baby PacMan
Just curious......
While the conversation is about $$$, I just wanted to share with OP what a stunning and well restored collection!
I can feel your sense of Pride to find, restore, and assemble such a great Group!
One should feel honored to own one of these!

Makes a good pin hauler. Do you have one in burnt orange?
Quoted from ejg10532626:Can they really now?
Please tell me all about this pinball Utopia that exists!
The DFW area has had Meteor's for $1100 in extremely nice shape here in the market last 6 months, F2K for $2k. 2 to 3 Seawitchs I could of had for under 2k here between Houston and DFW. I just sold my stunning beautiful , beautiful Big Game for $1800 dollars mint field and glass. (Award winning).
So yea, DF, Catacomb are very hard to find. Could be well over $3500 haven't been looking myself though I have those both restored. My Catacomb is documented HUO. You ask for an opinion and then laugh at it. Well then don't ask. But I will always give my opinion....
I believe CS's are bringing premium cash which I am glad to see since I have 12 or so.
I am just glad you are putting these up for sale and get premium cause now their worth it. Classic Stern's are the best.!!
By the way, Given your level's of game restoration I would be happy to own your games. You take meticulous care of your machines and always restore them to maximum capability. The pictures show it. You spare no expense. Always beautiful examples.
Quoted from pinlawyer:The BG is not photo-worthy.
EVERY Big Game is photo worthy. Haha.

Mitch was talking about the games on
alexanr1 's list, not the classic Sterns.
Quoted from pinlawyer:The BG is not photo-worthy. It's the only one in the row I'd say that about. It works 100% but is in need of restoration. Comes with one of two known NOS PFs in existence.
Those two NOS BG play fields came up not long after I had my play field restored. Timing kept me from buying one of those. I have toyed with the idea of selling my Big Game and buying yours. Restored is nice but there is no comparison to NOS.
I did not read through the whole post. I looked at the pictures, my first instinct is do not sell a single one.
But I can see in the background a spirit.
Beautiful games. I only have one pinball. I would like to have room for more. It will happen.
Best of luck whatever you do.

I have to ask: You do not say your Seawitch or Ali have been restored, but those play fields look to be clear coated. How do you make them look so shiny if not clear coated?

Couldn’t resist...

Eh, you can make that three lol.....
The price point for the desirable games fluctuates rapidly. There’s definitely a market out there for folks who just have to have the latest “hot” games....glwts!
Quoted from ToucanF16:How long do you think it will take to fill all the voided space once the classic Sterns are gone?
They cannot be replaced with anything new. The gap is unbearable and hard to image. I would keep a couple. My favorite are Fist, Quicksilver, Stargazer but he rid the Fist out of the palace and now is deep into the 2nd level. The "blood" is spilled.... once Catacomb is gone, the damage is done. Arms and legs can't be replaced. ITS OVER!!!
Quoted from pinlawyer:Seawitch has been sold.
Left: Viper, Catacomb, Meteor, Nine Ball, Ali
That's still an awesome remaining line-up.
P.S. thanks for the advice via Chris. - AJ

I’m surprised you still have your Catacomb. I am also surprised you are even selling it. Catacomb has become my favorite Classic Stern.
Quoted from cottonm4:I’m surprised you still have your Catacomb. I am also surprised you are even selling it. Catacomb has become my favorite Classic Stern.
I'm surprised there's still a nice Nine Ball in the U.S. sitting on the market. Sure, it's priced high but it's a better game than Star Gazer.
Quoted from vbittnv:Me not having the money means my 30k would never leave my hand for that lot. It's not a bulk DEAL! Like I said I would never pay $4k for a non restored meteor. NONE WILL!!! The approx $4k price was from a previous poster averaging the games.. or was it $3750.. Either way, $250 ain't making a difference on getting that game sold.
I'm not wasting my time. You are correct.. All of these games are worth $5k easy and they are actually all under-priced.
Any yes, all of his listed games have been sitting over a month means that are all perfectly priced.
You win cottonm4. Ill check back in 3 months when these games are still for sale in this post at the same asking prices... and it will still mean that are not overpriced because you said so.
Just for reference and not sure what you are still internet arguing but the OP actually agreed that the games are overpriced. Post 12.
Have a good night cottonm4 and good luck to the OP to sell these great games.. since you asked for opinions, lower the prices like everybody said( except for cottonm4, he thinks they are fine ). These pins currently are at not gonna sell prices, but wishful thinking prices as snyper2099 mentioned.
Looks like these pins are going to gone fairly quick.
Quoted from cottonm4:Looks like these pins are going to gone fairly quick.
Yep! That's the nice thing about tire-kicker bumps: They keep the thread visible to those non-BS buyers! Congrats, OP.
Quoted from pinlawyer:Sale pending on remaining five pins. Thanks, all!
So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny-back toad
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road.....
