Quoted from Astropin:Looking for an Iron Man.....either version (excluding IM classic).
So IM would be my #1 choice.....but I might be open to an Avatar or Tron Pro if the price is right.
Looking for any of the following: Alien Poker, Black Hole, Xenon, Centuar, Blackout, Flight 2K
Will consider same vintage (late 70 / early 80) futuristic / space themed pins also.
Quoted from Msch:I thought this was a for sale thread, not a looking for.
It's really more of a "Michigan" thread and "looking for" has worked for people in this thread before so I'm sure they'll keep using it that way. What's the harm?

Any interest in selling you xmen?
Quoted from DylanFan71:Any interest in selling you xmen?
This past Monday I rented a van and made a 250 mile trip to Ohio to pick it up so I can't sell it just yet, haha. It's a fun game and I would definitely recommend it.

Yup,only you and a Fat Stack of cash hold the key to my happiness ...
Quoted from silver_spinner:how much is the potc without the mods?
how many plays? interested but dont like mods at all.
Like you, I am not into mods (led's and shaker being exceptions). With that being said I doubt many (any?) seller(s) would strip mods to be able to offer a lower price only to go thru the hassle of selling those mods.
i just dont think mods or leds should add to a price honestly. think about it. the game is supposed to come with lamps period. if you remove all the original lamps (which are of some value) and install leds for $200 for example, that doesnt increase the games price $200 (esp since the leds are now used, not brand new). the old lamps are worth something that were removed. that value should be subtracted from a normal price, then add in led price i guess. IDK, when you put custom rims on vehicles and custom paint, stereos...it doesnt raise the used selling value.
it actually makes it less appealing to an overall market.
so if those mods added are whats making the price of a game be increased from the norm, id rather have a stock game with stock parts and pay less.
who knows, maybe I'm alone on this.
My 2 cents. Every mod adds value to the game. Every one. The issue is what % value it is worth??? Think abut it. Just like your home. They (internet articles) say if you spend $30k on a Jacuzzi room addition you are likely to only get back 40-50% when you sell your home. However, remodel your kitchen for $30k and you are expected to get back 90-95%. So the issue is if you put $200 in leds into a pinball machine, what is the reasonable % to factor into the price. Sure it is subjective by the seller but asking around (like here on pinside) can surely assist. There absolutely is a value though. I think having the original parts in a bag to give to the buyer so he/she may reverse mods would increase the resale % drastically.

"Most" people do not add the full value of their mods to the selling price.....more like 50-70% depending on the mod.....oh and the old incandescent bulbs don't cost much.
So I'll pay a little extra for mods that I personally would have added anyway.....better speakers, shaker motor, LED's......I like those on most machines. I'm certainly not going to give you 100% of your mod value......unless you are a really close friend....then I might.
i dont like leds unless they arent super bright. i put them in gi circuits and back boxes on classic games only to save GI connectors and back glasses, not because of the look so much.
i put them all over in one of my taf on location as the location is dark, so it helps brighten it up...but its not over blinding. i have found the white frosted bulbs (albaze) to work the best when you want to step up your game, but not blind you. the color bulbs are not needed IMO as white ones work in any situation.
But of course...to each his own...
The tron mod is one of the rare mods that actually is an upgrade acceptable.
most are just toys that do nothing for the game except get in the way when you are trying to work on things. some mods you cant even lift the play field to work on the game properly without having to move the mod out of the way (wires, etc).
the mirror lock down bars mess me up when im playing a game as i see reflections from everything. i was playing a MB with mirror lock down bar and there was a ceiling fan and i kept seeing the ceiling fan going around and kept thinking a damn spider was crawling on the lock down bar..scared the heck out of me...lol
I think the POTC mods started this debate. The funny thing is that that game has some of the best, particularly the ones from BAC. The cannon mod over the shooter lane is my personal favorite mod of any game (and the most appropriate if you think about it). Look, you shoot a pinball (cannon ball) right out of it-- very cool.
as far as looks, ad ons, bling.....
luckily everyone has different tastes or we would all like the same thing and prices would be even crazier.
A fully working machine is what i prefer to toy mods or ad ons personally that have nothing to do with actual game play..
potc several i have played have tortuga opto issues, heart lock issues, ship failure issues.
if those things work correct, that is what's important to me.
ive seen many many blinged out pins that dont play correct. some people worried about looks over game play.
Some people drool over certain restorer games and pay a premium, they look good but play clunky.
ill take a perfect working, nice kick outs, strong flippers and other coils, proper feeds machine (even if it has physical flaws in cab or play field) any day over one that just looks good.

Great game for the price! All the good prices happen in winter! SHEESH! Someone get this!
Quoted from silver_spinner:i just dont think mods or leds should add to a price honestly. think about it. the game is supposed to come with lamps period...
This is always my Point of view also. Another issue that comes when people replace boards or get them serviced, and try to pass the price on. "It's got a brand new Rottendog board...that's gotta add $200?!?" No, it doesn't. Price is based on a working machine, just because you replaced a board that I could have fixed in 10 minutes doesn't mean shit to me.
But no big whoop...if I don;t like the price I don;t buy it and we all move on.

I'm going to hang on to my POTC for now. Just having too much fun with it right now. If I do decide to sell the game it will be with all of the mods.

Around here people sure do try to add full value, usually plus more than that for their time.

Looking for 5,300. No trades. Chances are you don't have what I want anyways. If you can find a better Tron out there, buy it
Great price with the mods. If I hadn't just blown my wad on an IMVE I would've been taking a serious look at this. GLWYS.
I am selling a nice players condition Black Knight. I took this machine on trade from a local pinball buddy/Pinsider. I had to install a different working driver board, the old one in the machine was very tired. Everything is now working great. There's a little wear on the sword inserts and where the pinball enters the upper playfield, but none on the magna-saves. The back glass is pretty decent for an original. There a few scuffs and scraps on the cabinet, but is solid without any water damage. I have the schematic and owners manual as well. Also the left sling shot is broken in the picture. I found the broken piece in the machine and super glued it back on.
I wanted to offer it here on the MI thread on Pinside before it goes on Craiglist. Selling it for only $1295 for this classic machine. I'm located in Western MI.
EDIT....This machine is SOLD
