Quoted from Jesterfunhouse:Morning BUUUMP-I posted my High Speed on Craigslist this morning. I put some wiggle room on the price but will honor what I posted here yesterday if you are interested.
If I can sell my LAH quick, I totally want that High Speed..
Quoted from Jesterfunhouse:Aww dont sell LAH just come buy it LOL...
I'm already maxed out on space, haha.. I live in a small apartment and five is my max (I'm at five right now). I've been planning on parting with it anyway with the idea of getting a solid playing System 11 title.
I have listed my RBION and Rolling Stones for sale or a cash/trade deal (the later is preferable, but I am willing to sell outright). RBION is out of commission for the moment (see the thread for details), but TRS is in great working order at the moment.
Located in Northern VA.

My Ripley's Believe it or Not is back in action. $2900 (or $2700 without the LED OCD board and LEDs). Willing to sell outright, or trade down for a cheaper game + cash. Link: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/ft-my-rbion-for-your-cheaper-game-cash#post-1840351
Quoted from DCfoodfreak:What shape is that ribion in? I have. High Speed restored very nicely I would look at trading.
Check my thread for details and photos (and a video at the bottom of the thread). Anything else you need to know or if you want to talk, shoot me a message. Doesn't look like you are far away, so you are more than welcome to come by and see it in person.
Side note, it has been cleaned up since those photos were taken, so the playfield looks better now.

As of last night, the issues with my RBION have been fixed (for anyone interested--namely the idol, and the broken pop bumper). Still looking to part with it outright or trade down.
I am going to be making a new FS thread and marketplace posts for my machines in the next day or two. Posting them here first though for those in the area:
Bally Eight Ball (1977) - $800 - Good condition asides from some playfield wear in front of both slings (seems to be typical for these; mylar was placed in front of the slings). Minor touch-ups on the cabinet. Great playing game, fast for an old Bally.
Jokerz! - $900 - "player's" condition. Good cabinet and backglass. Full LEDs for GI (incandescent style). Upper playfield fully yellowed (typical), ramps are taped down. Hardly a collector's piece but it plays great--very fast.
24 (Stern, 2009) - $2900 - Very clean playfield, no cracked plastics. Cabinet has some minor scuffs but overall it's good. Full LEDs for playfield inserts and GI, has Herg's LED OCD board in it.
Ripley's Believe it or Not! - $2700 - Cabinet wear on the front. PF is good asides a couple of cracked plastics. Incandescent bulbs, 100% replaced/new as of last week.

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/wtt-my-no-fear-for-another-machine-in-va
Lots of photos have been added to my No Fear thread.
My No Fear is still on the trade block. May eventually put a price on it, but I'm not interested in doing so until my friend loans me his Demolition Man. NF is my only DMD game and I don't think I can go without one at my place, hence the trade route.
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/wtt-my-no-fear-for-another-machine-in-va
Tacked on a price to my No Fear. $2300. Comes with the GI OCD board already installed ($150-ish on its own), and I have the side panel/blade decal kit (about $70). Overall it's a nice No Fear.
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/wtt-my-no-fear-for-another-machine-in-va
Contemplating parting with my BSD I got a couple of months back. Love the game, but it's just too damn loud (mechanically speaking) and I have to keep the game volume on this particular one super low in my apartment (way too much bass from the cabinet sub woofer). Already had one noise complaint from it (the first game I've had that happen with.. weird). Cabinet itself is in great shape--previous owner put new cabinet decals on it. Has inner cabinet decal kit installed, all LEDs, powder coated rails and legs, and a cliffy protector set is included (needs to be installed). Asking $2500.
I am looking for a Stern DMD game to put in its place, something like a Monopoly, RBION, Avatar, etc. Will also entertain a Goldeneye or Godzilla by Sega.
Quoted from bigd1979:Unplug the cab speaker? From my experience stern, dataeast and segs are mechanically much louder that williams/bally pins.i guess maybe the mist moter maybe loud? Anyway send pics to my email I may have a friend who will take it
I find the Bally/Williams DMD games louder than the Sterns I've owned. The mechanics have deeper/thicker sounds and there is generally a lot more going on under the playfield thanks to VUKs, drop targets, really active pops, posts raising and lowering, all running at once. There's a lot less under-playfield action happening on all of the Sterns I've owned which accounts for a lot of the noise on a game. DE, yeah, those are loud (my LAH was anyway.. I'm surprised I didn't get a complaint from that).
As far as the sub, yeah, I've thought about disconnecting it. I'll probably do it in the meantime and see how it sounds.
As far as pics, they are the same ones I sent you when I got the game. I haven't really done anything else to it asides from the lighting.
Quoted from bigd1979:I know I forgot got to save the pics u sent lol sorry but I do understand that there is definitely a lot more components in a w/b compared to most sterns so that makes sense
No worries man. I just found the old email and re-forwarded the pics to you. I changed out a lot of the blue lighting to incandescent-style LEDs so the game wouldn't look all blue on my live stream. Everything else is pretty much the same.
Drac has pretty much sold and will be moved out tomorrow. Thanks for the interest everyone, I had a lot of messages about it.
Quoted from bigd1979:I figured its a good deal with all the mods I sent many people your way
Thanks dude, I appreciate it. Funny enough, the first person to contact me and pick it up is a local friend and league player.
Quoted from bigd1979:Its a a very sought after pin u could of got a good bit more if u wanted, so whats next ?
A friend loaned me a Sopranos and that went where Drac was. I am also looking for another Stern in the $2500-ish range for the cash I got from Drac.
I am looking to purchase a semi-modern Stern. By semi-modern, I basically mean anything from 2000 and on. I don't have any specific titles in mind, but my price cap is $2500. This limits me to B, C, and D grade titles, but I'm OK with that. I guess what fits that criteria is one of the following: Ripley's Believe it or Not, Monopoly, Roller Coaster Tycoon, Playboy, Sharkey's Shootout, Austin Powers, WPT, Nascar, Striker Xtreme, Terminator 3, High Roller Casino, and.. maybe a super routed Avatar or Rolling Stones. I am also interested in a Sega title (specifically Godzilla, Goldeneye, Star Wars Trilogy or Independence Day).
Whatever comes first I'll likely be the most interested in, depending on price and condition.
Quoted from Turboghia:I have a Sega Outrun motion cabinet that I would like to sell. Looks great and working condition. Looking for $1500. PM me if interested.
Best of luck with this. If I lived in a house with a walk-in basement, I'd be all over this. I remember trying it when I dropped off the LAH and it was awesome. By the way, isn't it a Turbo OutRun? Different game and I don't think you see those as much as the standard OutRuns.

I hate to derail this thread, but I have a Nintendo/Midway Killer Instinct 2 machine for sale. Fully working and in pretty good shape all things considered. Located in Fairfax, VA. $600 firm, but am willing to trade for a working early solid state or a Gottlieb System 80 game. Photos at my Craigslist post.
KI2 is still available. I'm including a MK JAMMA PCB with it now. washingtondc.craigslist.org link
Willing to trade for pins, countertop MAME cabs, or console videogame items. Part cash, part trade, whatever.
Quoted from ReplayRyan:I'll trade you a Megatouch if you can haul the KI2 up my way
Not really interested in a Megatouch, sorry.. Already had someone offer me one of those, haha. It'll never get used.
Was this the one that was on Craigslist? It looked like a nice machine. I'd like to eventually give one of these a try.
I am thinking about opening up my Avatar Pro for other kinds of trades. Kind of interested in a 2-for-1 deal for Sega Showcase pins. Or maybe a nice Sega Showcase, and a Sys 11 or something like that. Or, trade for varying modern Sterns, depending. Anyone have a routed TSPP they want to trade for a super nice, HUO, modded Avatar Pro?
Open to other trade options on my Avatar: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/for-sale-ft-huo-stern-avatar-for-a-rolling-stones-pro
Quoted from billsfanmd:Have a nice Williams indy I would trade toward it.
Indy 500?
Made a new trade thread for my Avatar. Only looking for even trades or + cash on your end for lesser valued games, I am unable to pay up. Not looking for arcades (video games) either. Link: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/for-sale-for-trade-huo-avatar-pro-in-virginia-nova
Wow! I never thought I'd see the day. You have had that for a while. Absolutely beautiful MM!
Avatar has a price tag on it now. See Craigslist post: washingtondc.craigslist.org link
Quoted from Boatshoe:Would like to trade my Spider-Man for a Walking Dead Pro. (call me crazy)
Game has no mods except some custom plastics. In good shape, but not HUO.
I have three p..... oh wait, nevermind.
Avatar is potentially going to be sold this Thursday (still pending). As such I'd like to get a head start on looking for a Lord of the Rings, Simpsons Pinball Party, Spider-Man, POTC, Iron Man, or newer Stern releases from the last couple of years that are close in value (Mustang, Met, ST Pro, KISS Pro, a routed Tron Pro, etc). Not looking for super modded machines when it comes to LOTR in particular as my funding cap is probably going to be about $4600. I might be open for two cheaper Sterns for the same price range, games like Nascar, WPT, etc.
Quoted from bigd1979:Bump for 3200 had alot of interest but nothing in stone
Super tempting since I have the cash now, but I think I am going to hold out for a Stern. GLWTS man, it should go quick!
Quoted from bjsilverballs:I have a nice Theatre of Magic for sale. $5000 or interesting trades + cash. I originally traded my LOTR for this game and while I would love another LOTR I still think I got the better end of that deal.
I have played Bob's Theatre, it's a nice game. Someone grab it!
Quoted from Pinball_Nate:Is a trade Shelly's Frankenstein for GoldenEye a fair deal? GoldenEye has MirrorBlades, works 100%, LED's, Satellite mod (grey looks like an actual satellite dish), very clean machine.........thinking about it.........
If the Frankenstein is yours, yes, do it. Frankenstein is worth less and you see it much more often than Goldeneye. GE is very fun as well, easily one of the better Sega games.
Quoted from Pinball_Nate:Hmmm, I think I need to shop out my GoldenEye, I am not warming up to it, but so many people think it's so fun?!
I actually have GE and was thinking Frank might be more enjoyable?.....
Personally, I don't think Frank is more enjoyable, but that's just me. It's easier to get things started in GE and the ramps feel really good. Do you understand how to play the game?
If you decide to part, then sell GE outright. MSF costs less so pocket the extra cash.
Quoted from Pinball_Nate:Thanks for your input. Good question about how to play - here's what I usually do:
Shoot target for locked ball, shoot ramp to lock ball (that ramp is very difficult for me........I know you can backhand the left flipper but sometimes that causes the ball to come screaming back for a drain if not shot hard enough.
Shoot for Satellite once balls are locked.
Shoot for modes scoop, attempt, but never complete modes, usually ends in drain.
Repeat, repeat..........
Am I missing something?
-Nate
Sounds like you got it. But, if you have a hard time hitting that ramp, then yeah, it's probably not going to be very fun.
Other things you could try doing -
1. Seeing how many combos you can get;
2. Going for the Goldeneye Hurry-Up mode (spell GOLDENEYE). Super fun mode--hit three ramps for hurry-ups, then quickly hit the satellite to double the value.
3. Try to get to the Goldeneye wizard mode - Go through the five scoop modes, as well as complete a set of 007 lanes, Shoot Out on the left side targets, Q's Pen Grenade challenge on the right standup targets, and the Goldeneye Hurry-Up mode
For modes, you don't have to complete them, but it's fun to try to play them out to the fullest of your ability. The standup target mode (guards?) is the toughest.
But yeah, if you are having a tough time with the game, it might not hurt to swap it out. Not sure if Frank is the ideal replacement, it's a same era Sega so you are going to have a lot of similarities (easy multiball locks, for one), but it does have an upper flipper so it may have more variety. Flow probably won't be as good though, something Goldeneye excels at.
Quoted from jints56:I need to thin the herd a bit. Willing to do 2 for 1 deals to accomplish or straight sales. For now I'd like to sell/trade huo TFLE or IM. Can package both for a nice AFM, MM, CC, IJ etc....
Open to trading others for the right game.
Probably going to be easier to sell games outright, but figured I'd see whats out there for 2 for 1 trades first.
Guys, Tad pretty much has the nicest games you will ever see. They look beautiful and they play as smooth as butter. Take him up on his offer, quick.
For shits 'n giggles.. Looking for a Rolling Stones or a Tron Pro (unmodded). Have a TSPP to trade.
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/wanted-wttf-the-rolling-stones-have-tspp-to-trade
Still have a modded TSPP, looking to trade for a newer modern Stern. Will probably get some photos later - https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/wanted-wttf-the-rolling-stones-have-tspp-to-trade
All right, I went ahead and took photos of my TSPP and made a new FS/FT listing in the marketplace. https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/for-sale-ft-the-simpsons-pinball-party-modded-in-va
I am looking for a set of Iron Man apron decals. If anyone can help, get in touch with me. https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/iron-man-apron-decals-wanted
Quoted from Meegis:Have you tried calling stern? They may help you direct
I have not.
Can anyone vouch if this is something that may work?
Quoted from stretch2:Now selling my RSLE Huo with Mods.$6k.
Would reduce price to $5500 only in trade for CQ Restored or Huo MB .
Wish I had the money...
Putting a WTB feeler out there for a World Poker Tour. Let me know if there are any around in the area (and willing to be sold). I'm not in a huge rush, I would need to sell my Iron Man first.
Anyone interested in a custom sit-down Neo Geo MVS cabinet? It has a single slot MVS board in it with a 120-in-1 multi-cart with most of the well known Neo-Geo releases. I'd be asking what I paid for it, $400. Monitor works and I replaced all the buttons and joystick on the Player 1 side (P2 side works, but I will include a matching stick and buttons in case you feel like replacing that down the line). I like the cabinet, but the fact is I have so much going on that I mainly use it as a coat rack. Yeah, exciting, huh? I figure I'll just buy a stand-up original Neo Geo cabinet down the road since they aren't very expensive either. Located in Fairfax, VA.
Here's a link to some photos of my sit-down Neo Geo MVS cabinet. PM me if interested. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B8wCYkqeW2DgVURnZFAxY0RoNUk&usp=sharing
I'm still looking for a World Poker Tour. Link: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/wanted-world-poker-tour-stern-2006-2008
Quoted from bigd1979:Unfortunately there isn't much around worth getting in your price range anymore unless its in really rough condition . If you can save 500 to 700 more it opens up alot more possibilities .gl and im keeping my eyes open for you
Looking in the Northeast thread, there are a lot of options. Just not many in this area right now. Travel (or patience) will be necessary.
Yeah, this is definitely the biggest snowfall for us in some time. Probably getting close to the '96 blizzard.
Back to looking for a Stern Rolling Stones again (seems to be a three-times-a-year thing for me, and one never surfaces when I'm looking). Mainly looking to trade--maybe toss a bit of cash from my end depending on the deal. I have a nice World Poker Tour, as well as a Starship Troopers. Could do a two-for-one if it's a TRS LE, or a pristine/truly HUO Pro, it just depends.
I have a lead on a Rolling Stones LE, so to help fund it I am listing my SST for sale. Located in Fairfax, VA. $1850. See the thread here: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/for-sale-starship-troopers-sega-1997-northern-va
Quoted from zimjoe:Every time I buy anything, something else I want is listed within a few hours... Never fails
Anyone want a NBA Fastbreak? I'm not saying it's not fun, but it doesn't have giant bugs and ridiculous dialog.
Good luck with sale.
If I didn't need the money to fund another machine, I'd say we could trade. I actually really like NBA Fast Break--we had one at a league location nearby so I have put a lot of time on it.
Not pinball related, but I still have my sit down Neo-Geo MVS with a multicart I'm looking to part with. Check this forum post for photos. Will probably list it on Craigslist later this week. $300. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/247866-fs-sit-down-neo-geo-mvs-cabinet-wmulticart-300-n-vadcmd-area/
Quoted from bigd1979:Similar to star trek the price difference between models isn't really justified by the huge cost difference if your just looking for game play . If you want a looker /colectabilty and money comes easy to a person than maybe I can see it . But just for game play sake its not really worth it and i believe most people feel the same so im not just telling myself that lol. After all pins are meant to play
I agree. Although, to be fair to Star Trek, it's a lot harder to mod in all the extras (assuming it's even been done.. doubt it). And once you play both side by side, it is a lot more noticeable than it appears on paper--even the insert LEDs are done differently and fade in and out nicer on the premiums and LEs.
Once you get those rope lights on a Tron Pro, there's very little reason to own a LE. Drops are nice, but not $5000 difference nice (neither is the added multiball). Just about anything else (chrome rails) can be done yourself. But hey, if you can crap out a ton of money and not feel bad about it, then all I have to say is, I wish I was in your situation! haha.
Quoted from ryandimx:Probably going to sell Starship Troopers this week or next if I can find some time to clean it up.
Body has some wear spots but playfield is nice.
Should sell pretty quickly. For some reason, a lot of people want this game right now. Listed mine for sale a couple of weeks ago, had something like seven people wanting it almost immediately upon posting. Crazy.
Quoted from 2Kaulitz:Starship Troopers is a fun game and has lots toys put in some leds to make it pop if anyone looking for a AMH pm me i think mine is going up for sale soon or trade for a tron.
It is a fun game, I'll give you that.
Quoted from herg:Card Whiz, and yeah, I have no plans to let it go. I was actually considering Metallica or Scared Stiff ahead of it, but I don't think I'm ready to part with those, either.
Oh, yeah.. If it's Card Whiz, I'd keep it (that's just me though). Whoah Nellie looks neat, but doesn't seem nearly as fun to me and you're paying a ton of money for it. We have a Royal Flush (four player version of Card Whiz) at Mighty Mike's in Sterling, and so I've put a lot of time on the game. If I had an EM, that would be on my list for sure.
Contemplating parting with my super nice Stern Rolling Stones LE (#308 of 350) with mods (mirror blades, LED OCD, GIzmo, shooter rod, lit topper, physical amp toys, mounted guitar, Mick fix, etc). Don't want to but I'm up to my neck in bills right now. Would be $5500. Would consider $4500 at a bare minimum with a $1000 or under game included. PM me if interested, located in Fairfax, VA.
It's looking like my deal fell through, so I'm posting this here for the moment. I will likely make a marketplace listing for it later this weekend.
Stern Rolling Stones (Limited Edition) pinball machine. #308 out of 350 with the certificate to show for it. Machine is home use only and was NIB just under a year ago, extras bag still stapled to the inside of the cabinet from the factory. It's loaded with mods--full LEDs for GI and inserts, LED OCD lamp smoothing board, GIzmo board for smoothing GI, shaker motor, lit up topper (with custom board courtesy of Scott Sidley), physical amp toys mounted in place of the stock flat plastic ones (originals still included), TRS guitar mounted on right side of playfield, chrome ball shooter rod to match the stock chrome rails and lockdown bar, LED light strip under the right ramp, Mick target backing plate installed, and Flipper Fidelity speakers in the backbox. Game has been re-rubbered with Pinball Life's translucent rubbers.
Price is $5,500, or $4,200 with a $1,300-ish game in trade alongside the cash (or anything else in between, I need $4,200 minimum to pay off a certain bill). If you are interested, please PM me.

Just bumping this. Will try to make a standalone thread/marketplace listing for it later this week. Had two bites on Friday, but it seems nobody wants to respond to my emails, ha.
Opening up the cash + trade options on my TRS LE. Willing to take a game valued up to $4K with a cash difference ($1,500 min). I'd do better selling the game outright, but at this point I think any form of cash in my pocket will help. https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/for-sale-the-rolling-stones-le-308-stern-2011
@Billsfan - You should see if your friend wants a TRS. I wouldn't mind having a RBION again.
Quoted from 27dnast:Is 3500 the going rate for a RBION these days?
If it's in excellent shape, then yeah, it sounds about right.
Quoted from ninjabones:Man, this thread and the northeast for sale thread are really getting redundant. Is it time to combine these two threads?
Or maybe it's time for the northeast folks to stop posting in this one.
*edit: I forgot Stretch edited the thread to list the northeast areas. I still think of it more as a MD, VA and DC thread though.
Wasn't planning on listing this, but I've been contemplating over the last day or two and could use some extra cash to keep chipping away at those bills. No photo yet, but there will be in the next day or so. Looking for cash + trade deals on cheaper Sterns. Really would like to get a Nascar, among other games.
This is the same one that was listed here about a month ago, but there are a few things added (different LEDs, with LED OCD and GIzmo boards).
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/for-sale-ripleys-believe-it-or-not-stern-2004-2014
My RBION is still available and it would be nice to find it a decent home. https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/for-sale-ripleys-believe-it-or-not-stern-2004-2014
Added gameplay videos of it in action since I last posted it here.
Quoted from bjsilverballs:Just listed my Mousin Around on DC CL site. washingtondc.craigslist.org link
Currently on location at Red Zone Grill in Fairfax, VA.
I've put many, many plays on this Mousin'. Plays great, looks good and sounds good.
Quoted from BOBCADE:If anyone wants my x-men pro with leds, pinblades, and lighted speaker kit for $3500 I'll jump up to the LE.
What is it with you guys listing all these great games at great prices when I have no money?
My RBION is still available. If I can get a definite deal lined up for the York show, I have guaranteed transportation to get the game there for you on Saturday. https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/for-sale-ripleys-believe-it-or-not-stern-2004-2014#post-3325343
Quoted from BOBCADE:AVG Pro is going to be really hard to find. Didn't they barely make any of those or is that the premium?
It seems to be a common theme for many "Pro" iterations of Stern's games in the last five years or so.
On a side note, Avengers is way more fun now with the last code update. I'd like to own one someday myself, either a Pro or Premium. Premiums do seem a lot more common in the case of Avengers though.
Quoted from Spelunk71:VUK in Bethesda, MD, a relatively new (and pretty cool) pincade/pizza place, has a Hobbit LE. It's probably 40 min. or so from Leesburg.
Red Zone Grill in Fairfax, VA also has one.
Quoted from mavantix:Nope, it's back in the basement of it's owner's home.
Must have been pulled in the last few weeks then, it was there just at the end of December.
Just sold a machine and looking to fill it's spot. I have about $1,000 - $1,200 to work with. Looking for a fully working early solid state, System 11, Gottlieb System 80B, or System 3 machine in the local area (Washington D.C./MD/VA). PM me if you have anything you are looking to part with.

In case someone stumbles upon this, an offer came up Saturday and I ended up taking it, so I am no longer looking.
Quoted from akm:Probably going to be listing my Jungle Lord and Waterworld for sale soon. $800 for Jungle Lord in good shape, $1000 for Waterworld in not so amazing shape, but playfield is clean where it's not worn, mechanics and gameplay fully working, full LEDs for GI on both.
Just paid for a Sopranos today, so these are definitely on the chopping block now. PM me if interested. Will probably take photos and create marketplace listings for them in the next week or so.
I have listed three of my older pins for sale. Pass this on if you know of anyone in the area that may be interested. Willing to do a two-for-one or three-for-one on a DMD game.

Quoted from knockerlover:It will be one of the few games in my collection that doesn't have the Flynnibus "virus" on the leaderboard.
I think I'll have to come over and fix that.
Quoted from akm:I have listed three of my older pins for sale. Pass this on if you know of anyone in the area that may be interested. Willing to do a two-for-one or three-for-one on a DMD game.

Jungle Lord is still available. Dropping price to $800. I'm on a "Stay-cation" all this upcoming week, so if you are interested in it now's the time to come check it out.
Waterworld and Pro Pool are sold.
Quoted from akm:Toying with the idea of trading my Sopranos for another Stern. Specifically interested in Transformers, Avengers, Rolling Stones, Big Buck, NBA.. maybe something else if I can think of it. I value the game around $3800. Routed, but it's really cleaned up with lots of upgrades.
Actually, scratch Big Buck and NBA. Don't really want to trade the Sopranos, one game with lots of stuff to do, with a game that doesn't have a lot of stuff to do.. so I'll mainly be interested in Transformers Pro, Avengers Pro and the Rolling Stones Pro if anyone has either up for trade.
Listed my Sopranos for trade. More details and wants here: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/for-sale-the-sopranos-12
Added over 7 years ago: Edit: Willing to sell outright as well. $3800.
Quoted from Clytor:I was there earlier today. I didn't get a good look at it. GPP is generally selling games for retail. As such, they come with delivery and a warranty. Charles is a knowledgeable guy and has been in the business for a long time. He typically has 5 pins or so in the showroom.
So.. not really worth it then for people that are already familiar with the hobby.
Quoted from Colsond3:Just because he sells games at retail doesn't necessarily mean that he's not flexible on price. When I ran LOP, I sold a ton of games to Pinsiders that wanted them, and was more than willing to work out a reasonable price. Depending what we were into the game for and what we had put into it. No different than a private seller or collector that restores or fixes them up. I even recently traded a Pinsider a really nice RS for his nice BF, because he had really been looking hard for a RS for a quite a while with no success. Wanted to help him out.
In a perfect world, everyone would run a business like you.
Shame we don't live in one.

Got the Safe fixed on my game yesterday making the game 100% functional, works great and is looking good. Game is still up for trade.
Kinda listing this one for grins. Spider Man "The Pin" (Home Edition). Link: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/for-sale-spider-man-home-edition-1
Quoted from zimjoe:I know, but it hasn't sold yet. She was listed third. Mars and Pinbot have a better chance of actually selling. You were there for League night you know I have no room for all my stuff and 20 of my closest friends I'm going to get down to 7 pins or die trying
I figure sell 3 and maybe buy 1. I'm a little bored with my collection right now.
I've been looking at AKM's ad for his HE Spiderman. I know it's a home edition Zizzle, but this looks pretty nice. I think Victor would like it.Machine - For Sale
Spider-Man (Home Edition)Home Used Only (HUO) “I have a Spider Man Home Edition ("The Pin") I may be looking to sell. I don't think one of these has been listed in the marketplace yet, so.. Let's test the waters and start at $3...”
3,300 (OBO)
Mark sale pendingEdit ad detailsEnd ad listingThere are a few other things that seem interesting as well.
I would actually be interested in that Raven. I love System 80B games.
Would just come buy it outright, but I have no cash (yet).
Quoted from uncle_jose:If you get this game, I will buy it from you when you are done with it!
I thought you already bought one? Or am I thinking of something else? Oh wait... Maybe that was Bad Girls.
Dropped the price on the Spidey "The Pin". Open to trades or trade + cash on your end deals. https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/for-sale-spider-man-home-edition-1
Quoted from E_Gpinball:I'm considering trading my Gottlieb Soccer for another EM or SS. I am willing to offer cash with my machine if your game is worth more. I could meet you at the York show or do the deal locally in NoVA, MD, and DC area. I may consider selling it outright for cash, but would prefer to trade for another machine of similar value (give or take a few hundred dollars cash on either side).
Here are some of the games I have on my mind to trade towards (I'm completely open to others, feel free to make me an offer. PM me.). I will consider games in any condition.
Hollywood Heat
Target Alpha (or a variant of that)
Embryon
Future Spa
My Soccer plays very well, it has the pbresource "yellow dot" flipper coils on them, so they are more powerful than the regular flipper coils. The playfield is nice with little wear, the backglass has been touched up by previous owners in the past, but is still okay. The game is completely functional, it resets correctly, chimes work, and score reels work. I'll take some detailed photos and send them to anyone that is interested.
I have played this Soccer and it is super fast (and fun!).
My Spiderman Home is still available. Not a lot of interest (as expected), but hey, it's still here. https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/for-sale-spider-man-home-edition-1
Quoted from Lemank:Thinking about trading my big buck hunter. Works 100% and is in great shape. Looking mostly for a wcs or transformer pro but open for offers. Let's see what is out there.
Where are you located?
Is the area really as dry for pins as it seems? Just sold one of my games and have some money burning a hole in my pocket, but it doesn't look like much is available at the moment either here on Pinside or on Craigslist. Looking for something under $3K.
Quoted from zimjoe:Feels that way Did your Spiderman sell yet or was it a different pin that sold?
Someone just posted a JP in Herndon. It looks OK. Has a new playfield, but sounds like the swap killed the lower GI.
I just bought a cheap Mata Hari that needs a good repinning. Great backglass, decent cab, some wear on the playfield. Not sure if it's a keeper for me. Great game and meh theme.
Maybe I'll head up to York to see what looks interesting.
I'm surprised there isn't more available. Figured people would be selling to free up funds for York.
Nope, it's still available. I ended up finding a buyer for Sopranos after taking it off the market.
You should definitely try to make it to York. It's a fun show.
Quoted from Skyemont:Funny!!! When im not looking for a certain pinball, they are everywhere. When i need a certain pinball, no one has one for sale... I need a WHIRLWIND!!
Pinside user bjsilverballs has one. He reached out to me last week about it. Probably still available, located in Fairfax, VA.
Quoted from wxforecaster:Still looking for a few titles to work on my rules knowledge. Xmen, Transformers, Shadow....
Transformers - Shoot the lit emblems to start a mode; Shoot the flashing emblems to complete the mode. Complete top and bottom lanes for shot doublers. Rinse and repeat. There, now you don't need to own the game!
I have a Segasa Monaco (1977) I am looking to sell. Playfield is in pretty good shape and the cabinet isn't bad. Plays well, fully functional. Looking for what I paid for it--$600. Buyer pickup only. PM me for any questions.
Added over 6 years ago: Created a marketplace listing for the Monaco:
Posted my AC\DC Pro as-is in the marketplace. Looking to sell outright or a trade + (Cash on your end) kind of deal. Looking for Sega pins or cheap modern Sterns.
Also looking to do the same with my Dirty Harry (value it around $3K). Will post a market listing when I have the photos for that one.
Listed my three machines for sale. Prices are firm, not really looking for trades unless you happen to have a Stern Rolling Stones Pro. See below:
Still available:
Looking for a cheap, working solid state game. Nothing crazy, something $1,000 or lower. Might even entertain EMs, but I'd prefer a SS. If anyone in the Northern VA area has something, let me know. Cash in hand. Preferably something where the head comes off so it fits in my car (so late '70s, early '80s).
Added over 4 years ago:*edit: Found! No longer looking. Thanks guys.
Quoted from akm:Posted my Raven in the marketplace.
Couple things here -
Might entertain a cash + trade deal for a cheap, working EM. Something $500 or less and you make up the difference in cash.
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/for-sale-raven-10
Also, not pin related, but I have a Arcade 1UP Mortal Kombat machine I am looking to sell. $200 with riser. These are back up to $300 without a riser at stores. PM me if interested.
Added over 4 years ago:Edit:
MK Arcade1UP - $150.
