Quoted from 67cutlass:
My wife and I will be heading to the St. Paul area from Sunday until Thursday next week. It looks like I'll have some time to find some pinball places on Sunday and Tuesday. A couple places on my list are Blainbrook Bowl, TILT and SS Billiards, probably on Tuesday. Looking at Pinball Map, Bad Penny Pinball Arcade and Northstar Pinball Collective seem to be good choices for Sunday. Northstar looks to have a Tournament at Noon. I probably wouldn't get there til 3 or 4 PM. Do they allow free play during a tournament? How busy should I expect it.
Any other places I should be considering?

Bad Penny is the place to go for pinball in St. Paul. You should start there. Easy parking, nice open environment, not super busy. I like to bring my own or walk over to White Squirrel Bar when I need a refreshment.

Seems like you have most of the big spots covered.

Smaller spots:

Sisyphus Brewing usually has ~4 games from the TILT inventory if you need a beer stop
Mortimers for more TILT games and classic dive bar vibes
CanCan Wonderland has a bunch of EM's in various conditions and Blackstack Brewing is next door.
Up-Down is a barcade with a decent selection of pins and a bunch of vintage video games too if thats your thing
St. Paul Tap usually has a lineup of the most recent Sterns

The Northstar Sunday tournament is a strike tournament with no finals/playoffs so it is usually wrapping up by the time you would get there. Shouldn't have any problem playing all you want if you arrive later in the day.

To piggy back on this, if you are into brewery locations: 56 Brewing and Broken Clock are about 5 minutes away from each other in Northeast Minneapolis. 56 has 11 pins and Broken Clock has 12.

So you are asking for $600 (or offer) over? ie: profit? I know your ad says you are being clear but I want to really make sure it's clear....this isn't you moving a spot at cost or under, this is you moving a spot at a markup, correct? (note: I give zero fucks, I'm just trying to be clear).

If I’m understanding it correctly he’s trying to sell his $1000 spot for $1000 but if he can’t find anyone by Saturday night he wants to get at least $600 or better for it.

I think he is just asking for the 1K deposit back if he doesn't get it he will sell it for $600 and lose the $400.

The total says $9500 (MSRP) + $400 shipping to make up the $9900 plus the spot transfer fee on top of that. But that was my take on it.

I’m in the camp it is unclear. First part of ad states wants $600, then pay off his $1k deposit- a $600 profit. Bottom of ad states will take $600 as deposit if not sold by Sat. - ergo a loss for him. Ill wager he meant closest to paying back his $1k deposit by Sat. gets his spot.
