Re: WTB: Something new to clean up and route

Never played bay watch but here it's quite underrated and has a cool/tough steep ramp shot.

Re: WTB: Something new to clean up and route

Hilton
Noticed a playboy (de) for sale in Dubuque on Craigslist.
Playboy would probably do well in a bar like Pooleys....

Re: Talk me into it or out of it...

I will start putting out feelers once both WW and Flint are in their new homes.
I'm sure there will be a bunch of games popping up in the next month or so once people start receiving all the new pins scheduled to deliver (TWD/Predator/AMH/etc).

Re: Talk me into it or out of it...

15 NASCAR's Tim?!! yikes!! I'll be pulling ours from route next week and will have it for the winter. I like the game and it's been pretty reliable. The Car mechanism and the weird ball trough are the trouble spots. The Step-Daughter & I are going to put together another "Tournament of Des...

Re: Talk me into it or out of it...

I'll start researching SM since you, Mike and a few others have mentioned it. Plus it sounds like it may be good for my skill level. What are people's thoughts on CV? I have a thing for J-Pop games...mostly because I love the art and quirkiness. I've only played CV once or twice and didn't get to fa...

Re: Talk me into it or out of it...

Congrats on the sale..... Any ideas on what you want to bring in? I'm toying with the idea of a NIB or HUO Tron. I've never owned a stern (or newer game for that matter) and I've always loved playing it. Plus I love the two movies. SM is another that piques my interest. I'm open to everyone's thoug...

Re: Talk me into it or out of it...

Well it looks like WW is sold too. Really great buyer with an already fantastic collection out on the east coast. I guess pinball season has officially begun. Thanks again guys for all the support and insight. As of right now both flintstones and WW are going to really good homes and at sale prices ...

Re: Talk me into it or out of it...

Hilton- I did notice that WTB on Pinside. Gonna drop him a line. And thanks for the insight Greg. I have only sold games via craigslist but that was a few years ago before the pinball boom of the past 2 years. Will most likely avoid craigslist now and post it in this forum in the Buy/Sell section fi...

Re: Talk me into it or out of it...

This pinball habit of ours is definitely a first world problem. It's good that we keep reminding ourselves. And the playful banter we all have with each other is half the fun of the hobby and what makes our Wisconsin group more like a fraternity and less like a league. Let the friendly hazing contin...

Re: Talk me into it or out of it...

$2000 would definitely put me at a significant loss unfortunately.
If I couldn't come close to break even on it I'd keep it.

Re: Talk me into it or out of it...

I usually loose a bit of money when I sell games but I chalk it up to "educational expenses." Each game I've bought I've stripped/cleaned the top and rebuild all the bottom mechs to learn the ins and outs of it. I do unnecessary repairs because I love learning how things are made and how t...

Re: Talk me into it or out of it...

congrats! Post your Wwind for a higher than you think asking price (Yours is very nice and original) and hit all the usual places and I bet it will be sold in no time flat. Nice Wwinds are on the rise in value. Let us know what you are searching for as #2 so we can help you locate it :) and play it...

Re: Talk me into it or out of it...

Sell them all and get a genesis and a heavy metal meltdown. It doesn't get any better than that. In all honesty, though, I think two pins could be doable if it were a perfect game. I too think two games will be a better fit for me this winter. And I believe Flintstones is officially sold. A neighbo...

Re: 2015 Member Interest List

The last 2014 meeting is at Todd's on Oct 4th. I'm sure there will be a thread started about it soon. After that, we'll start organizing for next year. We've done a few things already, so it'll fall into place quickly. Hope to see most of you'z on the 4th! I'll be there! Really looking forward to e...
