I want that big game if it ever needs to leave

I doubt it. It’s one of my custom games.
And my collection is staying put at the moment guys. Lol

Does anyone have any classic SS Ballys or Sterns they are looking to sell? Would consider SS Williams games too

Any interest in Elektra?

lol

you have the disease badly.

Go get it before my itch gets intense.

more cowbell?

Looks like the answer is no pins at Back to the Fifties this year. They are all on route at other places already so I guess he didn't want to pull them out just for the weekend.

Ya that is a lot of work for a weekend.

I understand. I did find a vendor selling a road kings. But it has 31 inch Gottlieb EM legs and asking a retail price. At least have the correct legs on the game. Feels tall.

Any Pinsiders make it to the Back to the Fifties car show at the Fair Grounds?

Got a pic or two to share?

My hunch is there's a fair bit of crossover between cars and pinball. As in, pinheads love cars the way hot rodders love pinball. That sort of thing. And cars are - incredibly! - even *more* expensive than pinballs, so looking at restored cars makes me feel like a frugal hobbyist!

No and I live only 3 miles away. LOL

I made it safely and man was it a nice weekend. Now we are going to pack up and drive the stude home.

We went on Friday to the show. It wasn’t too hot out and the crowds aren’t as bad as Saturday and Sunday.

Awesome! You made it to the show!

Thanks for posting the photos!

I drove up to get a pin on Friday and saw a bunch of classic cars heading there. Now I know why.

What pin?

This is a pinball forum afterall

If anybody is interested on what the auction results were at the BTTF's auto auction, I asked and did receive.

Prefer local pick-up, so make an offer!!

Why all the STTNG for sale all of a sudden? Is it because stern is doing another run? I wish I had the funds! Great game.

I think it because the pin recently went for 3200 range and a few very nice ones sold for a bunch more so lots of people are trying to cash in. Many seem to be available lately and not moving at asking prices.

I like STTNG at 3500 or less. Any more and there are so many better games, esp if you are looking for a widebody.

JMHO.

It is a great game!! Especially if you are fan of the show since the real actors voiced the game. I only have room for 4 games, and it's time to change up the line-up for me.

Whysnow , any insight on where you get your pricing info? There are only 3 listed on pinside right now, so that is what I based my pricing on. There were 5 at MGC, but I only think mine and one other were for sale.

go search Pinside archives for a quick and dirty IMO

https://pinside.com/pinball/market/classifieds/archive?s=1&radius_latitude=43.116930141923994&radius_longitude=-89.32459831237793&keywords=&ad_machine_key=445&ad_condition=0&machine_type=&ad_machine_manuf=&year_from=&year_to=&radius_distancekm=322&sort_by=ad_end_date&sort_order=DESC#results

In short you will see many listings that were asking too much and ended as "not sold" or "sold elsewhere" which to me falls in not sold/not sold for anywhere near asking category. i.e. lots of asking prices are too high, games sit, dont sell, and get relisted.

OUtside of that you will see a couple super pimped examples that sold for 5k on here. As often happens on Pinside, people latch on to these high sales and think they can get good money to cash out now/ trade up into something new. I recently saw this on BM forever (been keeping my eye on that one so tracking closely. It was always asking for 2-2500 and then 2 HUO/pimped ones sold for over 3k in a short time and others started asking that much for non-HUO ones, and now months later they are still sitting as ones sub 2500 sell)

There have been over 50 STTNG for sale on pinside in the past 12 months and it is a very common game to find in the market here, on Fbook, or the other various sites. Basically it is a game that appears to trade hands often, they made lots of them, and IMO the new version plays much better (even though the art on the old is way better) for essentially the same feel of a game. I have seen quite a few trade hands for 3200-3800 on fbook groups and among collectors recently, so to me it is a safe buy at $3500.

Pinside shows a range of $3980 - $4620 which for a commonly sold game is a decent tracking (rare or rarely sold games and Pinside est can fail). If I was selling a nice one, I would list at $4500obo and be happy to get 4200.

Buying, i am honestly not too interested in the game as I dont expect it would be a long term keeper so i would want to not over pay.

Will be listing a nice Target Alpha soon.

Anyone know more about these Lethal Weapons for sale up in Fon Du Lac? 800 is out of the question but if hes around 400 think it might be worth the investment?

These were bought from Chris Yesh, I would avoid these. These were bought for $1100-1200 for the pair.

BSD!!! NICE! fun and hard game!

Hello all, new to the hobby and looking for my first... Very exciting times mixed with a slightly frustrating amount of patience. Have missed a few LW3 by a hair. Just missed the one in Sussex 10 minutes away from me.

Back on the hunt!

Any interest in an EM?

Hello, thanks but unfortunately not. Being my first pin, need a "90s machine. In hopes of getting a few friends and relatives into the hobby. Plus the 90s machines are right in my nostalgia wheel house. Thank you for the response however!

I don’t think calling sterns Star Trek a “newer version” of sttng is anywhere close. They are separate games completely. So really stern st vault will only affect stern st. I can see someone saying t3 is a newer version of t2 because the layout was based on the previous. Or a Le vs a pro.
Just my two cents.

To me it is a newer and improved version.

Same essential layout and design ideas, much better shooter, no stupid cannon blocking outlane things, better animations, and deeper code.

Good luck finding STTNG for $3500. Pinflation is real and the 90's Bally/Williams games are getting sparse from being snatched up by jerks like me who are new to the hobby and paying way too much

STTNG is a tough game but great. Very different feel from Stern. I haven't played the new one a whole lot but it seems less challenging.

Im still waiting on a $500 street fighter 2 that neo is saying he always turns down

Just an FYI there is a guy in Madison selling a South Park asking 2k obo.

madison.craigslist.org link

He sent me a few pics cab looks to be in good shape. lots of bulbs out and hard to see playfield from pics. for price though its a good deal.

But it's a South Park...

you're really hunting aren't you?!

The addiction hit hard Wife told me I am maxed at 3 pins though

No!!! Does she play? We're maxed out at 8 and we live in a 2 story house. My wife likes to look at sprawling ranches with a walkout basement...
