OK - I have a buddy who is not a Pinball guy who wants a Pin for the basement for Christmas. He wants to spend between 2-3k. That said, the pin has to be cosmetically attractive (he just remodeled the basement, so no faded wrecks) and also has to be shopped and reasonably free of issues for at least a while (he should at least be able to get a few games in before it starts breaking down).

I'm thinking that this budget should be enough to get him something like Judge Dredd, Stern Nascar, Roller Coaster Tycoon, Monopoly, Shadow (maybe), Roadshow, etc.. Something Williams/Bally or Stern with a DMD. Something reasonable. He doesn't want an EM.

If you're looking to clear a space for a Christmas Pin and IN THE METRO DETROIT AREA, please PM me with the game and a price and I'll get back to you for pics.

He's looking to pick this up between now and Wednesday. Should be a smooth transaction as I'm not a tire kicker and he's just a guy who wants a pinball machine.

Thanks much and Happy Holidays!
