    SOLD Bally Medusa

    Hey guys. We don't need anymore price policing here. If the game is overpriced it won't sell... pure and simple. In my recent experience, the market for the more collectible classics Bally (Centaur, Fathom, Medusa) is pushing well above $3K in most cases so take that into consideration.

    Wow! has the market dried up !!!

    Define "decent deals"? Every other thread on this forum is a FS/FT posting. I think there's a ton available right now. Traditionally most pin deals happen off line so I'm amazed at how many postings show up here in a regular basis. Now, if you're looking to find things for sale below market...

    SOLD Bally Medusa

    I had a nicer example of this machine earlier this year and got nearly $1K more for it than this seller is asking. Plenty of room in there to add a CPR playfield and some touch up on the cab I think. It may not be the price you would want to pay, but that's probably not far from where the...

    Here's how it's going down ! New Kijiji police forcing higher prices

    This is so dumb. Most kijiji listings are already on the high side. The odd 'deal' that pops up is usually closer to what a private sale price might be. Kijiji is akin to eBay when looking at pricing as far as I'm concerned. I'm assuming he's referring to people offering over the "asking"...

    HOUDINI or JPOP, who's the real escape artist?

    All of his games were just artwork mock-ups. JPOP definitely took money for AIW. He probably realized the rabbit hole he was going down (pun intended) and started feverishly pumping out new themes and promises of new games to basically fund his company and infrastructure. Sure, he may have...

    HOUDINI or JPOP, who's the real escape artist?

    Well, I'm definitely in the "rubbed the wrong way" category on this. Sure, these guys may produce machines, they may even get them to market without the use of pre-orders, but there's one key thing that bugs me... setting aside their association with JPOP. You may not have been burned on...

    HOUDINI or JPOP, who's the real escape artist?

    Or.... you can send an email to them and secure your place in line today!!!! :cool: Suggested retail: $6995 Contact: Scott Goldberg, [email protected] Many people are suspecting that this is a zizzle-esque type of setup where the vast majority of the machine will be made in china...

    HOUDINI or JPOP, who's the real escape artist?

    I'm sure many of you have already been on the Pinside threads. I figured I would open up the dicussion here for any who hadn't. Hell, let's take a vote!! As a buyer on RAZA and someone that JPOP swindled more than $6K USD from I'm not sure how I feel about this latest twist in the MG/RAZA/AIW...

    ColorDMD's next game is Cactus Canyon

    I've had colour on my CC for nearly 3 years ;) Although... the game has been torn down for about 2 of those

    FS Lots of random parts - can bring to Church Meeting

    I also posted this on Mike Hanley's thread as I can bring any of this to the gathering this weekend... but probably best to just have my own thread and not clutter up Mike's. I've been looking through my parts for anything that people might want/need. Here's a small list of things I can bring...

    The OFFICIAL "Hey, I got a new machine" thread

    Yeah, that's the one. I know the pinsider that posted that thread and that he was looking for one... so I reached out to a local collector I knew who had one and tried to put them together. The owner was willing to sell but, as you see in that thread, my friend wasn't too keen on the asking...

    The OFFICIAL "Hey, I got a new machine" thread

    And yet another pickup. Sell one, buy three... this is not very sustainable. That being said, I don't think this new game will be here for TOO long. I have a habit of just 'trying' games out for a spell. Bounty Hunter is super uncommon 'round these parts so I could not pass up the chance to...

    Flipper Coil Upgrade?

    Those are perfectly acceptable coils. They are the same ones used in other commercial models from Bally such as Evel Knievel . I'm no expert in coils and electronics but I do know that you should be very careful as some of these older coils may have been series wound vs. parallel wound. My...

    I've been looking through my parts for anything that people might want/need. Here's a small list of things I can bring on Saturday if anyone is interested: -Bally Black Belt used ramps/plastics (condition is a bit rough, but there are impossible to find) $50 -Shadow Alternate Translite kit...

    Stern Batman 66

    I just watched my first "Stern please sell me a super LE" video. It was pretty sad watching a grown man beg with all his Stern LEs in the background. He even had his two small kids in the room helping him beg (barefoot and barely clothed too). :deluxe picard:

    Stern Batman 66

    Who are these people that would shell out "extra cash" on an already $15K USD machine? Something about this whole project just makes me sad and a little sick. We are now beyond the point of just making a profit and keeping your business viable. This is gouging pure and simple. Now they are...

    watchmojo dot com - Top 10 Pinball Machines

    LOL! I think I'd take a Ripleys or BH over half the games on your list Kevin :D And that's why Menace is bang on. These lists are highly subjective and pretty pointless. There are folks that just hate modern pins and their top ten wouldn't have anything past 1987. A top 10 list could be biased...
