Did you read the other posts ? Yes they are more expensive. Yes they have different art on the playfield. They have an improved bell assembly. They have all factory LED lighting, etc. YES - this is a Vault. Yes they sell for more money, both when they were originally sold and for resale...

It's ok - you just probably weren't aware of the difference's of the 2012 regular pro and the 2017 Vault version which was improved. If you check the various editions in the machines section here on pinside you will see estimated price difference - the Vault valued estimate is $700 more than the 2012 edition.

There are probably many people that are not aware that the Vault has several improvements that increased price when sold new and increased price in resale too. The 2017 Vault Pro is worth the extra dough.

That would be news to me. Mine are still in order with stern.

I'm kicking myself about that Aerosmith. Pretty sure we're talking about the same one. Since it really isn't top of my wish list, I made the mistake of thinking about it for a couple hours and then asking a question instead of just running. Oh well...not meant to be.

I do agree that the Spike/LCD era machines seem to hold the SAM/DMD era machines down a little in price range other than a few highly desirable machines. I'm not sure that vault edition does much to change that. SAM pros seems to hit that $4500-5k spot while Spikes jump to the $5k-$5500 spot. Of course that varies a bit either direction by title, condition, mods, etc. But with prices these days, who knows. It seems everything has taken another jump, and I am sure the new round of stimulus checks combined with tax returns is going to push demand a bit higher even. Crazy times.

All that said, NoQuarters is one of the good guys for sure, and keeps his machines in beautiful condition.

The one in Cambridge you are talking about was the second one at that price that I could have bought within the month.

I honestly hadn't thought the market went up by $500 overnight, but it appears that is the case.

Lots of games moving quickly.

Well hell. Any other $4500 HUO Aerosmith's floating around out there? LOL

MSRP was $6199.

Been looking for a Met and an ACDC Luci or Vault Pro for a while, but don't have the war chest for current pricing. Any interest in cases of rare and high end beer to bring the price down?!?

Good luck with sale!

I like beer, but there is only so much I can drink. I have been known to send beer along sometimes when I sell a game, having some come my way would be a new experience.

No longer looking... Trade for TMNT will be happening soon.. thanks!

Nice Tim. You will enjoy Turtles. Have fun.

Damn, I bought my ACDC Pro Vault and a TWD Pro for $5300 each NIB back in 2018 from one of the higher priced distributors. I think that's why they sell for sub 5k because not many people pay MSRP for games.

et in foro decernere,
as they say.

Good luck finding those for sub 5k now, if you can find em and they are nice grab them.

Wondering if anyone on this thread bought the Addams Fam listed on FB market place for 6500? I thought I had it but A+ for nutting up and just Venmoing her the full price.

If ya got it what kind of shape was it in? Looked nice!

USED to sell for sub 5k. Its a different world. Prices for used games were also lower in this area because of things like MGC where you got a good discount on a new/used machine. Also, Stern changed their pricing model and made it a level playing field for distros unfortunately. Now the price kind of is the price for NIB.

Empty vehical alert! I'm coming back from denver Colorado march 27th. I have space for game. Buy a game in the denver area.. I will go get it, bring it back to wisconsin, possibly your house for a $150 bucks. Pm me jeremy

Anyone have a Congo for sale?

Spent a bunch of time playing a few games I was interested in, and I think I'm going to go after either an Avengers: Infinity Quest (Premium) or Batman 66 (Premium) . Not too into the superhero theme, but good pinball is good pinball and I enjoyed playing AIQ. Batman has always been a favorite.

Which of the two would you guys pick? Anyone have a used one that they might want to sell before I get one new?

I actually traded my BM'66 for my AIQ. Both are great games. I just didn't feel the premium value was there for Batman. Ironically, the thing that is obviously the "premium feature", the turntable, is the part of the machine that they could have easily done without. It's just...not great. Everything else is really good though, and if it were a pro priced machine, I would have kept it. I wouldn't be shocked to have one back someday (and neither would anyone who knows me, LOL). It's a great theme, fun layout, and insanely deep code. Probably it's biggest plus is the theme and theme integration. It's 60s era Batman through and through, and it has tons and tons of A/V assets used very well. I would say if you AREN'T a fan of that era Batman, this machine would lose a lot of it's luster.

AIQ is awesome all around, and to me it does completely justify the premium price tag (though I'm sure the pro is good too). Amazing, completely unique layout. Awesome art. Very good code (better than Batman even in my opinion, but that's definitely opinion and will vary). While I love the theme and how it is used, I would say the layout is the real star here. Even if you aren't a huge fan of the theme, I could see loving how this machine shoots and the unique rules.

Best of luck. Both are awesome machines, so probably a can't lose. It might come down to which theme you are a bigger fan of and which machine is more easily available when you are ready to buy.

Swinging through Sioux Falls? Not that I have anything in mind, but never know.

You nailed my thinking. AIQ was fun, and if there aren't any Batmans available, then it's an easy choice to get an AIQ. Theme-wise I liked watching the Batman TV show, and having played it multiple times over a longer period of time I know I'll enjoy it, vs AIQ where I've played it 5 times and am guessing it would be fun. I know I can't lose either way

I'm open to buy collections. 5-10 class A games at a time.
1-2 days lead-time to settle and move out, anywhere in the US.

If you think the Batman TV shows are funny, then this pin has some of the best theme integration of all time, Lyman just killed it here. It also has super deep yet understandable rules. Better players prefer the shots of AIQ I think, though for someone of my skill the shots on BM66 are fine. Pinball is so subjective though, it's really hard to give good advice on what machine to get.

66 is a killer game and has a incredible build quality and rules set. The art package is amazing. It's in a league above AIQ on so many levels. Wait for a 66 and poach it.

Looking for a nice Genie if anyone is looking to let one go.

true that. I paid 6000 for a AC/DC premium whenever those came out.

Stern and build quality? Did they make bat66 differently?

Yes. They had Joe K on the project and I know his work (in pinball and outside pinball), well. The toys are way better. On a $ to $ basis, its a way better value and way better package overall. No they don't build them the same. They're regressing on an overall value prop to the end user; meaning the product is getting worse but the price keeps going up. Look at Zeppelin, (I know we are probably going to agree to disagree, and it's all good.)

Not this time my friend. I am thinking about doing another Seattle trip.

I have a couple arcades up for sale.

Commando ($800)
Zaxxon ($975)

Currently not working 100% but will be for sale once they are fully running.
Popeye (cocktail cabinet)
Donkey Kong
Time Pilot
Williams Slugfest Pitch N Bat.

lowering the price on the zaxxon and commando, since I need space to work on the other ones. It's very cramped in my gameroom right now.

$1000 for the pair if you want them both. both work 100%.

zaxxon and commando. or $650 each.

Well in that case I have a dedicated ms pacman cocktail for $750 for sale. I, too, am out of room.

Only 547 shopping days left until the Golden Goose !

LTG : )

Anyone know if the machines at Caffetto are running and playable to the public?

Yes, they are. They only have: BK2K, Big Guns, Alien Poker, Mata Hari and Star Trek (old) in the basement at the moment. Pinball map needs an update.

Updated.

The AC/DC vault pro is fantastic because there were those of us who liked the speed of the pro and hated the bagatelle, but the giant Angus face could be the ugliest artwork in all of pinball. I mean, what game has ever had a cover up sticker for playfield art as a mod?? Problem solved with Vault pro

Superstar SS project game up for grabs. I looked at this this morning in a guy's storage locker in Mankato. Definitely not for me but might be the right thing for one of you. It's in rough shape, printed play fieldglass is cracked, back glass has small crack but otherwise okay. Rubbers have deteriorated to a point where there now physically a part of the Playfield in some cases. He's asking between two and three hundred for it. PM me and I can forward you some pictures and his contact information if interested

If anyone is thinking of selling a gently used TMNT pro, let me know. I have a buddy looking for one. Thanks!

Good luck on your search. I was looking for a bit and ended up buying NIB. The game is an excellent shooter..... Your buddy has good taste.

Any chance he has anything he'd consider trading...or trading plus cash? I have a minty TMNT Pro that I'd trade...I have a soft spot for early solid state Bally...but will keep an open mind.

No, sorry. This will be his first game.

I've got a routed RRWOZ that I'll be looking to sell soon. ~230 plays. Let me know if you're interested.

PM sent

Anyone got a Metallica LE they're looking to part ways with?

I have a HUO only owner Stern JP Premium, low plays, added shaker and upgraded speakers/woofer. Absolutely mint...will be listing for trade for either a nice TWilight Zone, Addams Family, or possibly Circus Voltaire later today. If anybody local is interested message me...thanks!

Darn, GF wants one, but I have nothing on your hit list.
