Bad Cats I believe, he has a mouse problem.

We could use a few out here in 'California at $1500 that's for sure. Passed on a $1800 beat up out here and a $2000 cabinet fade. Even beat up not lower than that, on west Coast.

Blackbeard...This train is leaving station and ship is sailing. Since you started this thread, 2 times, 6 have been available. I know, because I have been looking longer than you with same thoughts, love to inspect first. Well, I have now touched 3, and played 2 of them. Passed on all 3. Mostly because of cabinet fade and peeling of the decals. If someone made a repro set of decals, I would already have one. I have also seen prices jump in last 12 months. There is also new demand for this game that wasn't here a year ago. I now know of 5 people activily looking for this pin, you and I included. I'm on west coast, I have a guy in LA, and another in San Francisco. Other things that have made me ignore shipping one in, playfield wear and bad ramps. You and I have talked about this. I want you to find one, I want to find one. My idea...Stop advertising. I think this thread has hurt your chances actually, giving this to much attention may have made prices higher! Just my opinion, but with no thread active, give it some time. I feel you may find what your looking for. Also, don't be afraid to spend the $400 to ship, get lots of pictures, than ask for more. Be honest with seller and insist that it ships on its butt , folded up and properly wraped up and on a pallet. I have shipped 5 pins in last couple years. It is an option, price for shipping worked out on 3 of those, the other 2 were already expensive, but rareity demanded the extra ship money.
Time to close this book. Sorry gang, we have all had fun with this. But, this is about the 3rd time I've seen a wanted thread drive up the price of a machine.
Good luck with search.

Barron Thanks! Coming to Calif Extreme in July!

Let's get this done for Blackbeard! NJ not to far.

That's amazing...that is so awesome and generous. Now my ploy....do it...after a week, send him money, make payment till purchased!
I'm sure the 2 of you could come to agreement on price under 2k.

I wonder what there talking about....could this be the end of the search?

Score!!!! Beard my man..You did it! The eagle has landed...lucky dog. Please update later today. Hard to judge folded up in your car.
We want condition report....and let's be honest about that price! I gotta know.
Congrats, Eric.
PS.mine will be here Friday. Was going to keep mum, but since your sharing...By the way, I know I paid to much.
