How much do you have invested in arcade stuff? $1750 is nothing to men such as us... :P --- End quote --- A hell of alot less than $1750. If I really put my mind to it, considered all the little crap I've bought, all the crap I've sold, etc... Probably around $500, and that is for two fully working cabs, 2 project cabs, and a bevy of parts. I'm a cheap mofo ;D. |

That's pretty good - I don't have your budgeting ability, that's for sure! However, $1100 is a pretty good price for a Super Chexx - especially considering the condition it's in. Personally, I'd only go about $500 for one, and most likely I would have to fix it up... |

I have bought lots of stuff, then sold off the pieces once I took what I wanted (or realized I didn't need it). I might make $1 here, $2 there, but it adds up. Some people might think I am crazy for going thru the effort to make a buck, but when I can say to the Misses "Hey sweetie, I just made a few dollars on a sale!" It is what keeps me in business. ;) ;D |

I have passed on a handful of pins in the sub $500 area. At that level, they always have issues and when I get my first pin, I want everything working. It is VERY hard to micro-manage a pinball hobby, as you know. ;D If you get lucky and do a group buy though, you can always get a few pins, sell off the extras and keep what you want for free. I'm still on the lookout for one of those deals, but they are always scooped up off the market by the pinheads before they see the light of day. If I hear one more of said pinheads "I bought this for $500 and disappointingly had to let it go for $1750 so I can get these three classic vids for $800..." I think I'll spew. "The quote is a true story BTW" :cry: |
