That is a sweet Ripley's. And people say there are no mods for it.

Quoted from MiamiRedSkin:I have an unshopped T2, unshopped Independence Day, HUO Austin Powers & HUO Terminator 3 in Chicago that I will be putting up for sale/trade soon. Could trade multiple for 1 or whatever...
Already tired of them? lol

Quoted from Whysnow:bummer you guys dont have anything worthwhile for route pinball in Indy. Someone should make it happen
I would think that is a big enough town to have a barcade?
I heard some kind of Tapper bar was moving into Indy. Don't know if it happened though.

Quoted from indypinhead:They had contacted me earlier this morning...said they had a offer of $800...I told them I'd go $850.
It sounded as though I'd get it.
They emailed me an hour later and said they had sold it someone else.
Man I really wanted that Gilligan's 
Didn't you buy that Diner out from under me too?
... but seriously I want that Gilligan's. 
Quoted from JonH123:Is Indiana pinball machine drought land?
I don't think so. SOUTHERN Indiana is pretty scant though. If there were more machines closer, my collection would be bigger. Most games that come up for sale are north of Indy but with I-69 opening up Indy is getting closer.

Quoted from e_lectro:That's disappointing. I know I'm new to this, but I never realized how bad the market could be with pins when trying to find something in decent condition and kid friendly at my lower end price range. Seems like every ad says their machine is perfect, except for the 1000 things they list that are broken.
What facebook page(s) do you suggest looking at?
What kind of range are you looking for? There's a Sorcerer on CL for $650. I also keep numbers of guys who sell on CL with large collections. When I get some cash, I call them up and see what they have for sale and usually something's available. If you need some contacts, PM me.
Quoted from jasonpaulbauer:Just added my LOTR to the market and CL.
That looks like a great pin. Are you getting something else with the money? Maybe a GB?
Quoted from Paulb:I just put a Jokerz up for sale on south bend craiglist, its a prototype, cabinet is solid but planked badly, playfield very nice...
Did this sell already? I can't find the CL ad.
Quoted from dung:Is it forensicid's? I know he was going to list one.
For $4000?! Gryszzz has been trying to get me there to see his collection but I didn't know he was selling Luci's for that price. I don't think it's him though. The listing was from Muncie.
Quoted from dung:Ah dirtbag, nice to know you still have a thing for me. Perhaps someday you will get a life.
Maybe he just wants one. Price seems close to right. There was one at LAX for $3200 with a lazy flipper but a better playfield than yours.
Quoted from dung:This is the one from LAX. I just fixed the flipper. I do know the original seller had it up for 3200, but frankly I think that is high. At 2600 I am happy enough to sell / trade it.
Also, dirtbag has a history of trashing my sales ads because I told him it was rude to ask someone what they paid for something.
I guess I am wrong. Sorry. There were two machines at LAX. I must have gotten them confused.

Quoted from dung:Guy was a collector. Didn't seem like it was his grail. Just a hard to find machine.
I am getting back BSD tonight though. The person I traded with is also a pinsider so not going to go into depth. The short is we exchanged pictures. Talked on the phone. Traded in a parking lot without opening the machines up. (Yes, dumb move.) Come home to find the machine was not in the condition I was led to believe.
In their defense they offered to trade back. They also offered to help with parts. On my end I feel I got a player's project machine when I was expecting an average machine that had no real issues. Just sucks because i will be out 8 hours in work to pull both trips and 60 in gas.
That does sound like it sucks.
Condition is such a relative thing. What's OK to me, may not be to you and vice versa. That's why I don't think I could spend a lot of money on a machine I haven't seen in person. Glad it worked out though.
I wish I was more picky. I got burned a little with my deal on BSD. Playfield had planking I didn't notice. The red on the cabinet was colored in with a marker. I could probably cause a stink and get him to take it back and take another one of his games but I decided I probably wouldn't find another one and it plays good. But I have learned a lesson for next time.

It looks like my buddy has decided to post his DESW to CL.
If you want to give that much, that's cool, just be sure to check it out completely. Unless he got it fixed, there were some issues when I looked at it.

Quoted from Tsskinne:Gold Wings for sale, working but needs shopped and typical system 80 ground mods. Has topper. Game plays fine. GI is out, looks like blown fuse but I don't have any 6 1/4 to replace it with. Air raid siren works. $750 OBO.
Why do all the Gottlieb translites of this era look faded? I don't think they are but the colors are just so washed out.
Quoted from Zorak:And bump 'cause I've got another one up

You've got two awesome games there.
Here's a new business on CL or at least one I haven't seen. Ace Game Room Gallery from Fort Wayne
Monopoly by Stern
Hook by Data East
Dr. Dude by Bally
Star Trek Next Generation by Williams
Captain Fantastic By Bally
Lost in Space by Sega
I asked about the Lost in Space and sadly it was a little high. So normal dealer pricing. $4250
Quoted from Agent_Hero:They've been around a while. They used to have a store near Fry's in Castleton probably 7-10 years ago. I visited it and remember they had a Baby Pac-Man and BSD. Seemed like they're target market was not the pinball deal seeker. I forget why they closed the location here, but I think they didn't find a ton of buyers for their stuff so they went back to having only their Fort Wayne location.
I'd love to have a Lost in Space but that price is close to double what I would pay for one.

Quoted from seshpilot:Star Wars cockpit for sale!
Absolutely gorgeous example of this holy grail game.
PROS:
-(2) complete cockpits were used to make this (1) example. The other game was sold off as a parts game. Thus, the best parts from both games were combined to make this! See my restore blog right here on Pinside at: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/1984-atari-star-wars-cockpit-restore
-Yes, it has the 25” Ampliphone monitor AND I’m also throwing in an extra 25” compatible tube!!! These are rare like hen’s teeth, but I managed to find 1 that I will include (though you certainly don’t need it).
-Brand new reproduction plexiglass canopy set from ThisOldGame.com.
-Brand new reproduction control panel overlay from ThisOldGame.com.
-The artwork has been meticulously gone over and fixed up where necessary (for example: all the black trim around the edges was repainted black). Though there may be a few knicks here and there, the artwork looks extremely good!
-The lighted marquee in the back is gorgeous. No flaking and colorful. Only a very small sliver missing from where the marquee rubs against the wood that really can only be seen when the marquee is removed.
-Coin door is gorgeous. For that matter, all metal pieces have been repainted black (even the screws!)
-Flight yoke is a smooth, consistent black and not worn down. All parts for controller have been cleaned and re-greased
-Includes a brand new reproduction monitor bezel with the reflective strips (again, something that is impossible to find)
-Boards have been meticulously gone over. Sound boards were sent out and bulletproofed, Ampliphone video boards were sent out and bulletproofed
-Power supply has been fully re-capped
-Brand new vector generator on the graphics board!
-Many new pieces (power cord, floor mat, bezel, etc…)
CONS:
-The tube has a small dime-sized burn in the center. This does not affect gameplay and can only be seen during certain scenes as most of the game is a black starfield! This burn happened prior to my taking ownership and certainly occurred due to the “spot killer” not functioning properly. This however has been fixed and is properly working. Again, I’m also including another 25” compatible tube should you desire to ever replace the original tube (you’d need to swap the yoke and whatnot).
-While all of the cabinet is there and artwork has been touched up, it isn’t a perfect cab. There are a few cosmetic cracks you can see if you look closely. Not a big deal, but just sharing as much as possible.
-While the triggers on the controller work flawlessly, the thumb buttons currently only work every now and again. Doesn’t affect gameplay as all the buttons do the exact same thing (shoot), and honestly this shouldn’t be difficult to fix. It never bothered me enough to mess with it.
-It’s in my basement. I’ll provide ice cold beverages of your choice (beer, soda, water), but you’re going to need to bring a buddy with you to get it out of the basement cause she ain’t light or small!
Please feel free to PM me with any questions. $5200
I thought that was like a grail game to you.

Was it from CL? I have seen one on CL for awhile.
There's been a few lingering pins on CL that I thought I may go look at sometime. HRC and a Space Jam come to mind. If you could talk them into lowering the price a hair it might be worth it.
