Sorry to get wishy washy again, but have decided to hold on to my ST:TNG. Still really want a Stern Star Trek, but will hold off until I can do it without sacrificing this one.

I should probably just start a new thread, but figured I could just edit this one instead. I decided to go ahead and let this one go so I can "upgrade(?)" to the new one. Please ignore all references to Spiderman or other trades in this thread. Looking only for a new Trek or cash to put towards one now.

I would describe the condition as a nice player's quality. It's definitely not CQ or HUO or any other acronym, but it's a good machine. The playfield is nice with just a bit of insert wear. A couple plastics are cracked. The ramps are cracked, but only cosmetically and are pretty much hidden by the protectors. Cab is pretty nice overall, but does have minor bumps and bruises. Like I said, CQ it's not, but with a new set of plastics and ramps, it wouldn't be too far off.

It plays perfectly, has been reliable, and is pretty clean. I gave it a full top side plus subway tear down about 2 years ago (I think it was about 2 years...time flies!). It hasn't gotten a ton of play since then, so it's still pretty clean and fresh. It hasn't given me any issues with optos, trough, etc for a few years now. No nightmares with this one!

I added a bunch of mods when I did the shop job...both Hallmark ships (lit, but will include the originals also), Mantis ramp and subway protectors everywhere, plastic protectors, target decals, backboard decal, new cannon covers with domes (from the guy that makes the laser cannons...same nicer looking mold but without the lasers), new better Borg windows, third pop-bumper cap, extended stainless steel lane guides (because I'm a cheater but will include the originals), and cliffy colored post sleeves. I think that's everything. The lighting is original (no LEDs), though I did 4 spotlights to help brighten it up. It came with a cliffy protector already on the neutral zone.

I'm hoping $4500 is a fair price. I'd be looking for a local sale...not wanting to ship at this time but will consider it if that's the only way. Local gets priority though. Let me know if you are interested.

Thanks!
Chris

Would also consider a Doctor Who (very nice condition preferred) plus cash or a second machine (something like NF, WCS94, BSD, DM, JM would make a great combo with it in a perfect world).

Would also love a Metallica, but not sure I'd be satisfied with a pro and probably couldn't afford the difference for a Premium, LOL. But definitely let me know if that's a possibility! Same with WOZ, but I won't be holding my breath on that one...

Hmm...depending on condition and how much cash would be needed I might be interested in TZ. Tough call on that one though. There are a couple others in your collection list that I really like, but probably not enough to part with Trek. Would your diamond-plate T2 be up for grabs? Cause that thing is pretty awesome...just not sure that's a trade I would make for Trek.

Thanks! I'm not rushing into anything unless just the right thing pops up. I really enjoy ST:TNG, but it's just gotten a little stale I guess...I'm sure you know how it goes. I've only played WCS a few times, but always liked it. It's weird...I like weird. How are you enjoying it so far?

I hear ya! To be honest T2 is probably not a title that I have quite enough interest in. I'm really focused on SM and hope a miracle happens that would let that happen. I do appreciate the offer though!

Flintstones is actually pretty cool, but you are right. Really hoping for a SM or a multi-pin deal with DW included. We'll see. I definitely appreciate the offer though!

Keep them coming guys...never know if something hits me right! Hopefully someone out there is sick of their SM and really wants a ST:TNG though!

Cool! Keep me informed please!

This one shows the worst mark on the cab...a scrape down to the yellow layer on Picard's uniform.

Wow...thank you for the kind words guys...it means a lot!

I have to admit, opening it up and taking these pics REALLY got me re-evaluating if I would actually go through with letting it go! We'll see what shakes loose, but I won't be in a hurry if the right thing doesn't pop up.

Thanks again,
Chris

Spider-bump, spider-bump...friendly neighborhood spider-bump...

Only about a 20 hour drive...I'll meet ya half way! LOL

Thanks! It was a lot of work to clean it up, but worth it. Don't forget to clean the subway when you tear into yours. Tons of dirt hides down there. It's not nearly as bad to get out as it looks.

Not sure which Jason you are referring to?

Weekend bump. I fear that my hopes of finding a Spiderman that can be traded with only a modest amount of cash added might be wishful thinking. Longshot I know, but worth the shot!

I'd like to cast the trade net a bit wider and add Metallica to the list for sure. Would love a premium, but a pro might be a more realistic trade and I think I'd still be plenty happy with it. Would also consider Batman:TDK, and maybe 24 or Avatar LE. +/- cash depending on title of course. Ironman is possible, but likely out of the price range that I would want to pay for one. TZ and TAF would be strongly considered. Spiderman is still #1 want though. Also in case it got lost in the thread, a Doctor Who plus cash or second B-title would be a strong consideration! And if anyone is crazy enough to trade me a Monster Bash close to straight up, you jump straight to the head of the line! (breath not held..LOL).

I'm not close minded about other titles, so feel free to make an offer and I'll consider it. I'm sure there are lots of machines I forgot to mention that I would think about.

As far as cash sales, I am not going to set a price at this point as I really just want to see what is out there for trade, and I don't really want to deal with the price police yet. If you are strongly interested for cash, feel free to make me an offer and I will consider it.

Thanks for all the great input and offers I've received so far!

Bump to clean up the first post a bit and lump my expanded want list there. Will also consider cash offers at this time if anyone is intereted. Had a few interesting trade offers so far, but nothing to pull the trigger on.

Let me know if you are interested or have any questions!

Anyone know why the heck the forum automatically un-capitalized Spiderman? Or is it just me? I capitalize it in every post and it always comes out lower case. Weird. What if I capitalize it all??? SPIDERMAN! LOL

(edit: even that didn't work...and I shouted the whole word! )

Thanks,
Chris

That's why I like you Hilton...always thinking outside the box...always one step ahead.

I put quite a few games on it last night and have come to the conclusion that I should probably just hold on to it. I figure I'll give this one last bump to see if any interesting offers come up, otherwise it will happily stay in the collection for now. Thanks!

Maybe should have just started a new thread, but bumping this one because I'm lazy. Enough wishy-washiness from me. Time to get serious. LOL!

No longer interested in any trades other than towards a new Stern Star Trek LE. $4500 cash and I'm pretty firm on that for now. Not wanting to ship unless it is the only way, so local gets priority.

Let me know if you are interested.

Thanks,
Chris

Nevermind...wishy washy wins again...LOL! Still want a new one badly, but will hold off until I can find another way...
