Pinball Cab - MultiBall Madness [Upd 14 March. - Finished]

[yotsuya]

I'm curious, do you just get tired of these things and just decide to sell them? Or do you get offers and realize you can make some money off of them? Just wondering, because you seem to sell off your projects on a regular basis (again, no judgment, just curious).

       It's a lot of money to have tied up in one machine Yotsuya. I can't speak for everyone who has one. Possibly it's a matter of financial need for some people. They sink a bunch of money in something and they realize maybe they were in over there head financially. Another point is they do seem to bring a lot on the used market $5000 range. Let me ask you Yotsuya, do you sell your machines after you finish them? My guess is you keep them, but if the money is right you would sell about any of them.
      As far as being bored with them I don't play my pin that much, but I wouldn't sell it unless somebody offed me crazy money.

That's me though, Martijn may be different

I think my questions were directed at Martijn, not you.

You forgot the shrug and laugh! I was just funnin' with Jaharr!

To answer Jay's questions to me, I've given away one of my builds to my daughter as an engagement present (love that cab), but not, I have never sold anything that I built for myself. I put that time and effort into it to make it the way I want it, so why would I?

I've BUILT three cabs for other people, but those were to their specifications. I still took great pride in the work, but that stuff was their call.

Apologies. Most times, I remove emoticons from quoted posts, simply for the look of the quote. It's certainly not to re-theme your question, as I totally get that you were kidding and didn't mean it in a malicious way.

[jaharr01]

Well Yotsuya I know you were kidding.Sorry though but I misread, I thought u were talking about just Vpins I was just trying to give an insight about, pincabs not the fact that he sells his stuff

Yotsuya was being a

to me not you Rick. I don't take him seriously though. I think he's supposed at work, not surfing the internet. That's our precious tax dollars

Yeah, I was more curious on why he sells his stuff, as he has openly lamented this fact in other threads.

So hard to tell without the emotes. LOL.

They get boring in less than 5 minutes and can't even go 5 minutes without crashing.

[jaharr01]

They do get somewhat boring on occasion I agree. But so do arcade games. Mine took a while took get all the bugs out of the software but it doesn't crash.They are like anything else if you change stuff all the time they havee a tendency to crash. I enjoy pinball fx2 a lot. It's fun. I think a lot of the VP tables are too damn hard or I have them on the wrong settings.  .They are not as good as real pinball machine but you can play a bunch of different tables on there.I wouldn't build another one though that's for sure.

[Martijn]

  Delicate subject it seems.


I am selling because I don't play much, and need the space for something new. The system runs without any trouble and keeps amazing me how well it plays.

I enjoy building more then playing

[jaharr01]

So what are u gonna build now Martijn?
