Quoted from tomdrum:Anyone want rid of a Gottlieb High Hand in Central PA?
No High Hand, nor Cen. Pa. (Upstate N.Y.) but my 2nd Lucky Hand is pretty nice
and always interested in making trades..

Quoted from hoov:Been looking for both Majorettes and Sweet Hearts to pop up for sale around me.
Have a nice Sweet Hearts, but it's in N.Y.

Quoted from hoov:Been looking for both Majorettes and Sweet Hearts to pop up for sale around me.
Majorettes is probably the game I miss the most. Fortunately for a low production game there seem to be a lot of survivors. And it's not everyone's cup of tea.
Quoted from Mopar:Have a nice Sweet Hearts, but it's in N.Y.
About the only game I would ship is something rare or hard to find - but thanks though
Quoted from hoov:About the only game I would ship is something rare or hard to find
Absolutely. I don't go to shows, but many of my pinball friends do.
I'm not the easiest to get a game from anyways. Seems like I only
like trading..
Quoted from guss:King pin wedgehead
Love the drops on King Pin, but hate my King of Diamonds.

I may be the only person to
Straight up buy a game from you in recent years 
Quoted from hoov:My King of Diamonds will never leave my collection - lighting the red card specials down low is a rush. A 60's classic for sure imo.......
I feel that way about my Diamond Jack , never leaving my collection.

Quoted from 1974DeltaQueen:Diamond Jack , never leaving my collection.
Bryan, I believe you to be right. You caught me at a time when
I had the Space Pilot on the hook, and it's always nice when the
hobby pays (or at least for a chunk) of a new machine for the collection..
I'm happy you were able to get what you were looking for, and
had a great time while you were here..
And yes, D.J. is right up there as my favorite Wedge Head..
Orillia, ON
Quoted from singlezero:1 big Indian ( has a big brave now) rough shape but probably my favourite 70s em to play
2. Big deal ( it's no big deal)
3 gottlieb gridiron) nice player but it's never quite got its hook in me
4 1947 bowling champ needs some work has a shay bg but no room for this woodrail
5 one of my 60s wedheads to make room for one coming
1. Big indian tentatively sold PPU
2.Big Deal SOLD
3. gottlieb gridiron SOLD
4. Had someone with interest, then realized it was in a 50s cabinet and a friend has a 40s cab with arched backbox. decided to hold onto it (see 5)
5. had someone call me wanting a wedgehead ... asking about my bowling queen . he ended up talking me into selling my world beauties. therefore , i probably have room for a woodrail so ... see item 4.
Not sure if i can make a new 5 games to sell list now. this karma works good! i have since added another 2 wedgeheads(slick chick ,majorettes) so i probably do need to sell one. also .. i ended up getting a second williams ten spot in a trade so id probably be open to putting one of those up.

Any of these these in this thread still for sale in 2019?
I’m looking for a nice Gottlieb 3” flipper EM in NE USA or (Eastern Canada). AAB or replay, wedgehead or otherwise, what have you got?
Quoted from NicoVolta:Updated:
1. Expressway - sold $1800
2. Grand Tour - sold $1200
3. King Pin ('73) - sold $2700
4. Pro-Football - sold $1750
5. Top Score - sold $1825
Price reflects various upgrades & meticulous rebuilds. Some had professional clear coat, cab repaints, etc. Way more hours involved than would be profitable for a retail business.
All I have right now is a Hearts & Spades and Scuba. Backglass and playfield are nice on both. Haven’t rebuilt them yet.

I know you put a lot in them but still good to see decent prices. Your reputation let the Buyer know they were getting a Premium EM.
How much do you charge to appraise a machine?

Honestly those prices were all over the place. Some had a clear coat playfield, some had a cab repaint, one needed a cab repaint... condition is everything.
I sold a “perfect plus” 2001 for $3500 and completely rebuilt a gutted A-Go-Go for more than that. But the time invested for these restos was not worth it from a purely business POV... it was just a hobby. Now that my time is limited it is rare that I can do this at all.
I don’t charge anything for an appraisal. Do you mean like appraising whether a machine should be bought and what for? Or doing a resto?
Quoted from Tyamry:Not in this post. I have a Big Hit, Golden Arrow and Team One that I will be posting soon.
A person could buy 2 or 3 of those titles and save $$$$ on shipping. All good games.
My top 5 to leave the nest, sorry I kinda broke the rules with my 2 SS games.
1. KISS and CPR playfield (just never play it and too many other games in the restore queue).
2. Whirlwind SS
3. Bally Fireball (really nice, super clean, and plays perfect, I just hate the gameplay).
3. GTB Grand Slam 53 - shitty cabinet due to termite damage; vikane treated termite free
4. GTB King Pin
If anyone is selling a stellar Outer Space Gemini, or Scuba let me know. I prefer awesome original examples but am open to what’s out there...

Tyamry sells his Gemini :
Funny how it works, in the beginning I was buying anything close to me. Now I have had 25 games, down to 9 I play.
I don't buy Williams (I have 2 Klondike, Beat time) that's enough, mainly the art
I only like say 1968 to the end 1977
I prefer Gottlieb 2 players and Bally (especially Ted Zale)

Yeah, I had a decent Aztec & sold it a couple of years ago. Something about the Williams pins I don't like. Don't hate them, but give me a good old Bally any day. The DC pops were pretty cool though.
Quoted from leckmeck:I think your Cowpoke was at MGC a few weeks ago. I enjoyed playing it! One of the best EMs at the show.
That is the game. Glad you enjoyed it. Cowpoke is one of my favorites too. I actually have two of them which is why this one is for sale.
2 weeks later
Over the next several months I’ll be selling a Top Score, Top Card and likely a Big Hit. If might be interested let me know.
A client has a working on coin Williams Big Chief he wants to sell at $500. I haven't seen the machine nor any pictures of the machine. I don't know anything about the machine.
If interested please PM me for the sellers phone number.

Quoted from AlexF:Since this thread has started I've sold
Seeburg 220
Would you mind pm'ing me or posting what it sold for? I've had one for 15 years and was curious what a non-eBay price would look like.
I sold it to a buddy for $1200. Fair cosmetically, was working but also had a quirky selection issue. I missed it for awhile but think it would take some luck to replace it for what I sold it for. I've since replaced it with a CD unit that has far less charm but is nice in some ways.
1. Pioneer (very nice project)
2. Flip Flop (very nice projcet)
3. 2001 (might have an extra)
4. Captain Card (maybe)
5. Rancho (maybe)
