Quoted from ovfdfireman:Interesting enough, Bone Busters
I actually enjoy a few gottlieb's from that era. Big House, Lights...Camera...Action!, and Excalibur. I've always wanted to try a Bone Busters. The theme looks like a rip off of Ghostbusters. image-4.jpg DownloadedFile.jpeg
Funhouse, twice. Both were beauts. Real love hate relationship with the game. Getting the itch again.
Quoted from PaulyB18:Haven't sold one yet, not sure if I could... is that bad?
NO, it is good.
I now have my wife convinced that we should not sell any pins we add to the collection and then someday in our semi-retirement we can open a small pinball/brewpub/ GF bakery (she has celiac's).

Hey Fireman,
Did you get that BB from me?Rick in Newburgh In. Just curious.
I had a super super nice DP Radical that I actually imported from Germany. On a skid, not in a container. Traded it for a Junkyard, thinking that was an 'upgrade'. JY lasted awhile, but it was no Radical.
BSD, I had a very nice game that I'd done a high end restoration on. PFR CC playfield, NOS ramps and plastics, everything scrubbed etc. Had to sell it during a period of unemployment.
Dirty Harry. Great game. The one I had was decent, but not nice enough for a keeper game for me. I like DH a lot, and will own a very nice one at some point.
I sold the BSD to 'save' my MM. A couple years later, I let AFM, MM and SC go - just wasn't enjoying them sufficient for what I could get for them. I imagine if I'd wised up and just sold the MM, I could've kept BSD and DH
Quoted from PaulyB18:Haven't sold one yet, not sure if I could... is that bad?
Not at all. They're like part of the family

It was originally supposed to be a Ghostbusters pin, but when they couldn't get the rights they had to improvise. Ghosts became Bones for better or worse.
I'll Have to say my 1st Pinbot , i never Got to Pay it , Whoa , I Played 1-game at the seller's house. But for Real , I Miss.... You Know I Really don't know.. I get Repeat Pin's in Alot.. I Do Miss Jackbot .
And MB a Little. It was Cool also.. Honch , can I have it back ? But , I've Kept my Fav- 2 ..
Quoted from BLACK_ROSE:I'll Have to say my 1st Pinbot ,
OMG BR, what the hell happened? If you don't mind me asking.
White Water or Shadow...I had really nice examples of both and sold to fund a Spiderman, which I totally regretted getting. I just never liked spiderman as much as the hype that people give it.
Quoted from Snurdley:OMG BR, what the hell happened? If you don't mind me asking.
I was Pull-n a Trailer and Pinbot was Secured ( i thought ) Until i got Lost and came up on a 30 mph Curve going 55 to 60 .. Pinbot slid out and took a back-ward's barrel roll in the Ditch and Exploded..
The 3'' wide ratchet strap came Loose some how.
Made me Sick.. I found everything except for the ball's.. I Drove to Richmond ,Va 2 week's later and bought another.. It survived.. I can haul 2 Pin's in my Expedition , If More than 2 , I Still Use the trailer..
Quoted from BLACK_ROSE:Made me Sick..
Holy crap!!! I bet it took a big suitcase full of Coors to make that one feel better!
Quoted from Snurdley:You know, out of all pins you bought and sold. I was really surprised how fast you sold LOTR and SM.
Me, too. I was chasing the "dream" AFM. When I got one (AFM), I couldn't see that it was worth the money. I want one back again though. No rush....just some day.
I have bought and sold quite a few games over the years. I desperately missed BOP and Wh20 after I sold them both, they were games that I just fell in love with but sold them due to circumstances at the time. Fortunately I have manages to acquire them both again after about a year or so of hunting, they wont be going anywhere (in fact I now have 3 BOP's! I seriously think I am addicted to her).
There are a number of games I certainly wouldn't mind having again, but I think the one's that I do miss the most would be LAH and F14 Tomcat, not CV, IJ, TZ or TAF

Classic story B_R, you've gone up in my estimation Worst I did on that line was forget to secure a ToTAN in the van... on the first left bend I heard a big crash in the back (the sound had to travel through the van wall and through the cab wall)... Amazingly the ToTAN didn't have a mark on it... the van got a bit damaged though as the plunger smashed through one of the wooden anchor beams on the opposite wall...
I miss my CC most I think... and as usual I sold if for way less than what I'd have to pay to get another
Worst thing I ever did was sell my huanted house Seemed like a lot of work when I had it but I really missed it after only two weeks after it's sale. I will have another and another black hole someday which would be a record for me as I've never owned more than 2 pins at any given time. Had three in the house before but one was always sold and waiting for pickup or didn't belong to me.
Quoted from RWH:Worst thing I ever did was sell my huanted house [] Seemed like a lot of work when I had it but I really missed it after only two weeks after it's sale. I will have another and another black hole someday
I feel for you man... I'd also miss my HH and BH, which is why I'd never sell 'em... good luck in finding replacements!
