Long time lurker first time poster...... North Dakota may not be MN or WI, but I wanted to give a big shout out to jonogo !! He has been a huge help and wanted to publicly thank him. I have bought 4 machines from him and he has been awesome to work with.
If you are ever thinking of buying from him, definitely go for it.
Bill
Thanks for the welcome MustangPaul. I grew up in Bloomington but left for school in ND and got stuck here 
We get down to the cities at least once a year. Went to S&S a few years back. I spent more time chatting pinball with LTG than I did playing and loved every minute of it! Need to make it to the Circus one of these years. Made it to Blainbrook finally our last trip down. What little girl doesn't love pinball:
Thanks again for the welcome.
Bill
P.S. I am looking for Fish Tales to add to my lineup (can be a project). One of my wife's favorite games.
Quoted from ChrisS:You have no idea. I was talking to Josh today. Basement packed and out of space. 5 machines in the garage.
What is wrong with me. FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS.
I really need to thin the heard........and before you all get excited. No I'm not selling TOM, SS, FT, AC/DC, MET.
Chris
If MN is selling, ND is buying 
Great haul Timerider!
Anyone have a lead on a Simpsons Party Pinball in MN or not too far into WI?
Players condition is fine with me.
Told my wife it is the last one I want. Considering I have told her that five times before, I have a very patient wife
Quoted from Beatnik-Filmstar:So did anyone here nab the $150 Laser Cue in Edina on CL today?
It's been talked about among the North Dakota pinheads, but we usually lose out to the city folk
Quoted from joetechbob:Looking at a pin in Kenosha WI. Is anyone by chance heading from that area to the Twin Cities (or surrounding area) in the next month or so? Extra money/bonus points if you are coming through Fargo
Thought about making the drive, but 9.5 hours one way is just too damn far for one pin.
What is it? ...... or is it a secret till it arrives on the prairie
Quoted from joetechbob:Haha--classic. Unfortunately it probably won't feel little when I carry it downstairs into my arcade space :S
Nothing exciting for most...Actually, it probably sounds stupid given all of the trouble, but it's a sweet little number I've been lusting after for ~a couple of years now: 1976 Gottlieb Surf Champ
(Though I would've also taken her sister, Surfer )
Very Awesome!!
Quoted from Mudflaps:Hey gang!
HUO Mustang with extras for trade... Looking primarily for B/W, DE, Sega, or 2000s era Stern plus cash. I'm prepping my deposit for Rob Zombie.
I'm in Minot and can road trip for the right deal. Of course, I'm totally impulsive so maybe I can be swayed towards other titles.

Bump for ND
Thanks so much for the advice!
I am headed there with my brother and we are pretty pumped. My brother and I are relaunching Fargo Pinball up here in beautiful Fargo ND so we figured it was about time we went to the expo.
https://www.facebook.com/fargopinball
I have bought a few games over the years from Josh (jonogo) and always appreciate the MN WI pinball community.
Hopefully I will get a chance to meet a few of you. Just look for Jim and Bill in the Fargo Pinball shirts.
Thanks again,
Bill

I have a routed Shadow and routed Nascar that we are looking to sell. Both are definitely NOT collectors but both play just fine and were decent earners.
Both machines have Leds. Nascar has mirror blades and a few extra cars added.
Shadow has the Alternate Art Package, a rebuilt upper playfield kicker assembly with new parts, and a Color DMD. Original art is included.
Nascar has a rough ramp and playfield wear but otherwise ok.
Shadow has a cracked mini playfield surround, a couple cracked plastics, back ramp was jb welded, outlane wear, a mark on the playfield on the taxi, but otherwise ok. Shadow also has a sound interface error, but the sounds work fine and have not been an issue.
Again these are routed machines.
Shadow - $2500
Nascar - $2300
Both - $4500
No trades this time and cash on pickup in Fargo, ND
Feel free to PM me with any questions or interest.
Quoted from Eric_S:Where are you located?
Fargo ND. Pretty easy drive 3.5 hrs north on 94 from the Twin Cities.
Shadow and Nascar are sold. Thank you to everyone for the interest.
We will have a few more used titles in the near future.
For anyone looking to watch the IFPA national tournament in Vegas today, head over to https://www.twitch.tv/iepinball
The matches start at 1pm central time.
Always love when the local news appreciates Pinball

Wish us luck this weekend MN and WI friends !!!!
This coming Sunday the Fargo Pinball Club is facing off against The Manitoba Pinball League to battle for the Red River Cup. The border battle will be intense so to allow for our team to prepare for competition this week, the following items are STRICTLY forbidden at Fargo Pinball.
1. Butter Tarts
2. Poutine
3. Bags of Milk
4. Nickelback
We appreciate your understanding and support as we prepare for this fierce border showdown.
Fargo Pinball
Quoted from lordloss:Did they bring back 2013 prices too?
Oh I wish! Same pricing as Ghostbusters Pro and Premium for reference.
It was an amazing day of pinball as Fargo Pinball battled The Manitoba Pinball League for the Red River Cup.
Thanks to our friends north of the border who were kind enough to bring some international snacks to share (several items were eaten before I had a chance to snap a photo).
The competition was fierce but the cup is staying south of the 49th parallel! USA USA

We have been distributing Stern and JJP since last year. Stern approached us at Expo and asked us to sell their games and then JJP approached us shortly after.
We sell at Stern's lowest price any distributor can sell at (cannot be listed on a website, emailed, or txt via Stern's rules) but we include shipping, tax, and any credit card processing.
For JJP we sell as low as we possibly can without losing money (shipping, tax, and cc processing included).
If anyone is looking for a new Stern or JJP feel free to let us know.

Quoted from Minneapolispin:Call Melissa at Cointaker. She got me my KISS and Metallica Pros for $4700 shipped and no tax (and free shaker and mirror blades). Peter’s Billiards prices are worse than some of the crazy Craig’s List folks. Anybody bought the $7000 Apollo 13 yet?...
That price is WAY lower than Stern lets any dealer/distributor sell at without potentially losing their ability to sell Stern machines.
We can get MN folks factory shipped direct machines from Stern at the lowest price Stern will let anyone sell at with free shipping, no tax, and we cover any credit card fees.

We are saddened to announce that the current club location for Fargo Pinball will be closing on Sunday July 26th. This has not been an easy decision to make but with the current health crisis it is the right one.

We are however working on plans to continue with a showroom for machine sales and will continue to help people service their games.
With the closing we have the following used titles for sale:
Xenon
Police Force
Monster Bash
Haunted House
Back to The Future
Mr & Mrs Pacman
Baby Pacman
Tommy
Oktoberfest
If any spark your interest please feel free to PM me.

We also have two non-working change machines (no bill acceptors, pulled not working). Good for parts or fix them up (we switched to bill acceptors or payrange on all our games). Keys included.

I sold him a black night about 5 years back.
Aaron is awesome!! We have bought and sold a few games with him over the years. We only route on the ND side of the river due to tax filings and licensing. But if anyone is looking to start a route on the MN side, we are more than happy to help where we can.

Quoted from anathematize:Its such a terrible game. Being shamed to the corner is definitely appropriate.
The lineup at Drekker is definitely destination worthy. The only thing needed is connecting all the Insider Connected machines to the wifi there. Couple games still aren't online yet.
We just can't let go of Thunderbirds but we also can't let it mingle in the "general population". It's one of those games we rarely see (for valid reasons) and would likely never buy again.
We finally have all our Spike 2 Sterns on Insider Connected after some battles with the wifi!
Thanks again to all our clients and supporters.
Bill

Quoted from ichuckle:Unbelievably Thunderbirds isn't the worst game at Drekker. They have a very rare Cosmic Carnival that works on occasion, if you're unlucky. It is absolutely gorgeous and I bet casuals enjoy it, but it plays like a garbage can.
I honestly believe that Suncoast blew the budget on Cosmic's art and figured they would get to the code after they started selling.
Truly some really amazing Dirty Donny art.......paired with fisher price code
Anyone looking for a couple tournaments this weekend? Come on up to Fargo.
