    Quoted from cudabee:

    Traded a 900 total plays Medieval Madness for a nice Nip-it.

    huh?

    I got my TAF for $500, needed minor repairs, everything in above average condition.

    Quoted from cudabee:

    Back in 1996 my boss, who runs arcades says, hey you're heavy into pinball yes?
    I'm looking for a female friendly machine with the old style scoring.
    We don't seem to have such a machine in the company so maybe you have.
    I say, sure i have a very nice Bally Nip-it in good shape, that should be ok.
    Turns out it was a request from a female mayor as a prop for a city hall in a town where we were lobbying for a casino permit.
    After i show him a picture of the nip-it he says; great that what i'm looking for.
    How do you want to get paid?
    This is in the time that pinball was waning and alot of machines were in the company building waiting to get traded away, so i offer him to maybe swap the nip it for a machine from that flock.
    Excellent idea, he said.Take your pick and inform the sales manager you take that machine and that i'm fine with it.
    That evening i took home a Medieval Madness with 900 games on the bookkeeping...

    Well played Sir. Well played...
