as flattered as I am, that you were thinking of me. Even I know this would be hard to find, considering TZ was the first pin i've ever bought and paid $2100 , around 10 years ago. Not saying it's impossible to find for $2800, but you won't find it by asking on here, or on ebay/craigslist. You have to do leg work and really hunt for it. there are plenty of untapped warehouses still have these covered in dust. Just have to run into the right people at the right time.

I agree. I've cashed in on a lot of good deals through the years. I got a HUO Dr.who and TZ combo for 2k once. Neither were working. Hadn't been shopped in a while. But neither had a spec of fade or playfield wear. (try finding a Dr.who with no fade). That was 2007. I know because I used to profit to buy my NIB LOTR fresh out the factory door for $3400 shipped. That's when pinball was reasonable.

back then, Spirit was not the cash cow it is today tho. Still would have been nice to land one. I just want to play a real one once. Play the virtual version but the angles are off.
