My buddy Glenn and I are heading down in his van... Gonna try to convince him we should bring a trailer with us. It would be good to hang out with some of you, since I've only met a few of you. Perhaps a Friday night get together is in order?

Seems a lot of Canadian "buyers" heading down.
Frankly, I'm a bit surprised given then exchange and HST combined this year.
I should've taken greater advantage of the parody of the dollar last year
Either way though, still looking forward to a great show and hanging out with everyone!

Hoping my passport comes in this week. Seriously considering making the trek too. Would be great to meet all you fine folks in person!

Whatchu talkin' 'bout Drano? You not "buying" anything this year? Guess I'll be doing all the YUUUPs!
But seriously, it's not that bad considering machines I want seem impossible to find around here at ANY price. I've already bought a nice TSPP (not CQ of course) and that'll run me 4k Canadian all said and done. I don't think I'll be finding one of those anywhere around here for close to that.

Cool Dan!
Did you get that from a pinsider?
This is the common problem of late. Price seems secondary.
We can't seem to find what we really want in Canada anymore.

Yeah. My want list is VERY short and, I have about 6 keeper pins and pre-orders in the queue that currently do not have a slot in the home collection. I need to make some room.
Just going for the fun of it... But you never know
Came close to picking up TwilightZone's HUO Interflip Dragon posted on Pinside , but I was too late.
$4K for a routed TSPP seems about right. Nicer examples are in the $5K range.
I guess the trick is in finding them when you want them.

I did! It happened to be Marvin, the guy who puts on the Ohio show. I played the crap out of it when Glenn and I went down earlier this year. I was admiring how nice the condition of it was. There's some marker on the cab but it's not that bad.
DRANO said:
Yes, indeed the trick is finding them period. I've been very active in trying to find a nice one for well over 6 months now. If I could buy a 4k "Nice example" and already shopped routed TSPP I'd buy a truckload.
Dbeeson said:
Awesome that you arranged to buy something you really want before you even get down there! Kind of eliminates any question marks. I've had no luck doing the same trolling FS/LF Allentown posts on Pinside.

Theres only one EXPO!
I have not been to the Michigan show
I've been to both (actually all three if you are counting PPE as well)
and Drano's correct there is only one EXPO ... (mind you PPE was an awesome show and definitely was in the same league) MPE is a much smaller show but still a good time.
Rob, I bet you'll find something you really want when you're down there. I just happened to luck out with TSPP, and the fact that I played it a bunch and it's from a reputable guy is a big plus.
Hope to run into you down there bud.
Squid - are you going down? I can't remember if I asked you on Friday.

Hey Dan
Can't make the trip this year (which is too bad as it seems a huge number of folks are making the trip)
Looking forward to the stories ... and seeing how many pins get re-settled north of the border !
