How wide is the cabinet?

Looks very nice! How’s the backglass? It was hard to tell from the guy’s listing.

#10557 6 years ago

Backglass is ok.
Has a few flaked spots, but has been sealed.
I would be interested in an alternative translite or BG if someone did cleaner art with better resolution of the characters.

I'm heading to Game Works at the MOA tomorrow for a company party. I think I recall hearing that they now had pinball machines now? Anyone happen to know what they have there? Sounds like we all get an unlimited play card for several hours, so you better believe I will not be socializing much and it will be non-stop free pinball!

#10559 6 years ago

Pinball map says

AC/DC (Pro) (Vault Edition) (Stern, 2017)
Aerosmith (Pro) (Stern, 2017)
Ghostbusters (Pro) (Stern, 2016)
South Park (Sega, 1999)
Star Wars (Pro) (Stern, 2017)

I was there about a month ago and they were all in good condition and played well. The food on the other hand was hilariously bad.

If anyone is going to Tilt tomorrow evening drop me a PM. Working in Hudson during the day and might swing by depending on how the roads are.

Dick's downtown has an Aerosmith. I didn't have a chance to play it but it looked clean.

#10563 6 years ago

Live from the Mall of America. The games are all in nice working order. “I need to buy a pinball!” has been overheard many times.

Who got the $500 Independence Day? I didn't notice the ad until just now. The guy said it sold within 5 minutes of the ad going up. Merry Xmas to one of you!

Hmmmmm the price makes me wonder what kind of shape it's in, will be interesting to find out.

I left him a VM 7 minutes after posting and no reply, straight to VM. Was hoping this would be a good first pin opportunity!

This one ended at $1850! Guess it wasn't enough for him... relisted today. His original you tube video title said he wanted $3500!!

#10571 6 years ago

Wow that's really not cool to relist it again (assuming the winning bidder didn't immediately back out and say they "accidentally bid").

Another possibility is he was bidding up his own auction and got stuck with it. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been “outbid” then the seller comes to me five minutes after the sale and offers it to me for the high bid. Umm no. I’d pay what it was before you tampered with the auction buddy.

I think that may be exactly what happened, the bids went up quick and way past what I thought it would go for. His description even says he may pull the auction early if he sells elsewhere.

Grrrr. That thing is a serious project. There is a reason the pictures and video suck... because it's likely POS and he knows it.

I would much rather buy from an honest pinsider that takes care of their games.

Exactly why I was surprised it went to 1850, that thing needs a lot of work to bring it up to market value.

#10581 6 years ago

I bought my first new Stern and am looking to open up some space in my game room for something different.

Centaur II + Paragon for 3900

I’d consider trades +/- cash for a nice foosball table, 6-6.5 ft Valley pool table, multicade, or possibly even Slugfest or Ghostbusters Pro

Make me an offer I can’t refuse?

*** Pin Transport Help Sought: Stillwater to Minneapolis ***

Hi.

If there is anyone whom I could enlist to help me move a prepped pin from Stillwater to Minneapolis, I would love to hire you.

The pin in question is wrapped and strapped to a dolly, still in the seller's home. My plan was to haul it home in my compact car, but that didn't pan out. The load-out is a bit tricky, but not too bad. The pin is waiting in the seller's bar, near his garden-level double-door back door. Those doors lead onto a patio and then to a seventy-foot, sloping stretch of lawn up to the driveway. The load-in is actually tricky, as it involves a basement stairwell that is narrow and makes a sharp turn midway down. I may borrow a sheet of plastic from Mustang Paul (if he's willing) and use that to slide the pin down the stairs.

The pin's dimensions are 52" x 24.5" x 24.5". I s'pose it weighs 225lb. I can pay your for your time, lifting energy, and gas. Roundtrip from my house in Mpls. to the seller's in Stillwater is 60 miles.

If you have an appropriate car/truck and the time/interest, please shoot me a quote as to what I could pay you for the help.

I should mention that the seller, Tom, has been exceedingly kind/generous in this transaction. I will NOT be leaning on him for any more assistance in the load-out. He has already gone above/beyond in this sale.

As for timing, I can adjust my schedule to fit yours, and I believe the seller is fairly flexible, too. Ideally, *two* strong people would help with this, if possible. I'm a bit banged up right now so doing a lot of heavy lifting is more than I can manage, frankly.

Thanks for reading my post!

Jason

If anyone has a line on an X-Men LE or Star Trek Pro let me know. Happy Holidays!

#10584 6 years ago

Looks like pinbot from eBay is now on CL: minneapolis.craigslist.org link

On a side note - anyone want to let go of a fish tales?

Oh the timing is terrible... so tempted by your offer, but this weekend won’t work for me... GLWTS!

#10587 6 years ago

New Year is here, I think it's time to shake up the line up. Looking to trade my TZ, Shadow, and STTNG. All working in good shape, all have Color DMD and LEDs. Not looking for anything specific, but I'm only interested in Williams/Stern DMD games. I'm open to offers including combo deals.

HAPPY NEW YEAR.
Be safe out there tonight.

I’ll be curious to see if this gets listed for a third time or if he’ll actually sell it to the winner.

I think this is the guy with the "i buy pinball" signs around forest lake. Wonder how much he wants out of that game.

#10591 6 years ago

He relisted again for $1 and then ended the auction.

#10592 6 years ago

It didn't do quite as well when there was other bidders instead of just him and the turd in his pocket.

#10593 6 years ago

He’s doing something shady, items don’t get sold a few times then relisted within minutes. And I doubt he has multiple pin bots all remarkably alike. And what do ya kno, some of the same bidders are bidding on a motorcycle of his. What are the odds???

Great deal for someone. Did they sell?

#10598 6 years ago

I asked him how much cash he wanted for it and he said "don't know"

#10599 6 years ago

I just reported the seller for shill bidding. Guys like this give eBay a bad name. Hopefully they can research his listing activity and see it's the same ID's he's continuing to use when bidding up his own items.

#10600 6 years ago

Anyone know him?
