Quoted from lordloss:Hey guys, how much would a NBA Fastbreak thats in decent shape go for? I found one here in kato.
One recently sat on the Omaha CL for $1,600 for a long time. I'd be interested in a NBAFB for around that price. If you decide to pass on it, feel free to PM me your lead

They wouldn't sell it to me. It was C and N and they said they already committed it to the MOMA auction, so its not for sale. I offered $1500, but they'd rather wait a couple months for the auction and haul it up there. I probably won't make the auction, so I figure I'd let others know about it.
Looks like I sold my Creech. I still have the nice IPB pf if anyone is ISO.
I am happy to trade towards something else or sell straight up. LMK if any regional guys are interested.
Would be nice to pick up another solidstate game for the stable...
To celebrate the arrival of MET Premium I'm having a Music Themed Pinball party.
To make this an even more entertaining event please wear your best Rock n Roll / Music T-shirt. By that I mean Vanilla Ice, Ratt, ELO and so on.
Sunday Sept 22nd
4:00-10:00PM
Lake Geneva, WI 53147
Please RSVP though a private email on the flyer or through Pinside so I can ensure I have the proper supplies.

Quoted from jonogo:Sweet, I'll make every effort to attend! Thanks!
Bring along some of your MN cohorts to split the gas.
You make it to POAS? Looked like a nice line-up this year.

Haven't made it out to the fair.. not a huge fan of large crowds... May still make it out there.
I'll collaborate with local yocals and see if we can get a caravan/carpool.
Would like to come to this. Will make sure the date is open and then PM you. Josh, Maybe a stopover again?
I'm almost tempted to drop $10 so I can get this ad finally off of Craigslist once and for all. I truly have grown tired of seeing it:
Quoted from ChrisS:I knew that was the best date for you and Tim.

And Ken. PM incoming.

HAHA 10 DOLLORS!
Quoted from MustangPaul:Why waste all that money on beer when you could waste it on a pin.
Minnesotans save $$$ for Pins on Sundays cuz the Liquor Stores are closed! 
Quoted from aahgo:Did some Pinsider pick up a free pinball in Wautoma?

What game was it? Nice that they altered their ad if they can't respond to all the emails!
Saying hello!
I've been reviewing your posts and this seems like a friendly thread. I just moved from Greensboro, NC to Bemidji, MN. My name is Debra, and I love pinball! Hello!
I have a few questions:
Does anyone know of any place to play in the Bemidji area?
For Southern pin people, there is a forum site called Pinball Bash. Is there a similar site for MN/WI folks in addition to this thread?
Last question - I have 2K to spend on a machine. I've been watching the ads on pinside and Craigslist and haven't seen much in this price range. Do I need to adjust my range, be patient, or ??? I like speed and flow and am looking for a DMD.
Thanks for reading.
-Debra
Quoted from davewtf:Does anyone know where Rustylizard's WPT currently resides? I believe he sold it to the MN crew and i lost track of it.
Went from Russ to TonyMiddendorf to Me and I sold it to PinballKim in North Dakota.
Quoted from debras:Does anyone know of any place to play in the Bemidji area?
Dunno about Bemiji, but Duluth has a couple Pinsiders who may know... ThePostmaster (Bill) and Northvibe (Parnell) might have a good idea of where to play.
WELCOME!!
Quoted from debras:Saying hello!
Welcome to Minnesota and Pinside !
Way south of you, there is an event coming up at my business. http://pinballcircus.com/ it's a lot of fun and worth the trip.
LTG : )

It is only about 2 months old, but there is a local site that is starting to slowly grow in numbers and traffic (It has Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, and Iowa folks on it)- www.wisconsinpinball.com

Welcome. I would give you 3 bits of advice: 1) Be patient 2) Be willing to come to the Twin Cities (or find a TC pinsider that would be willing to pick-up/hold a game for you 3) Do you best to make friends with any collectors you know. Now, after being in the hobby for 2+ years, I've realized that the best deals and leads come from friends in the hobby as opposed to finding something on Craigslist.
None of that makes the wait any easier though! :p Good luck in your search.

We've got our own for MN...
Quoted from jonogo:Went from Russ to TonyMiddendorf to Me and I sold it to PinballKim in North Dakota.
much obliged. i was hoping to snag it someday but i think it will have to work it's way back the Twin Cities first. lol. That sure is one slut of a WPT, pardon my french.

It is a very nice example of a WPT. Tony put LEDs throughout and Mirror Blades too so its exceptionally bright. You could always message PinballKim and see if he'll deliver it.

i doubt it! WPT is a keeper, all y'all messed up big time! 
I honestly never knew it was technically for sale either of the three times it went for sale. WPT rebounded quickly.
what what? :-p Bemidji I was there for a run and thought I put a pin on the pinmap to play (not sale) at some log cabin looking big restaurant.
Quoted from davewtf:I honestly never knew it was technically for sale either of the three times it went for sale. WPT rebounded quickly.
Dang, I had it listed on here for a month or two before striking a deal w/ PinballKim..
Quoted from davewtf:i doubt it! WPT is a keeper, all y'all messed up big time
I REALLY liked that WPT but I can only have so many deep games and while WPT has deepness in spades, it is just lacking something. I don't know if it is the static sounding callouts or lack of build-up, but always had a montonous feel to it. the shot selection and rules are top notch, the artwork is lacking badly, and the callouts and sounds are rough. I love card themed games too...
Quoted from ralphwiggum:the callouts and sounds are rough.
When thinking back to what was missing from WPT ... this is spot on. When you really get jamming on that game ... the sound is just NOT there to get your blood pumping.
Otherwise, I think it's a terrific game.
