Best place to buy a pinball machine?
« on: April 24, 2008, 06:20:58 pm »
Lots of talk recently about pinball on this forum (maybe it's just me). Where is the best place to buy a used pinball machine? I recall seeing a website where you could enter your state and the amount you were willing to spend and a list would be generated showing arcade games and I believe pinball machines for sale. Can anyone help me out with that site and/or better places to buy a pinball machine?

Mr Pinball ?

That's not the site I was thinking of but that looks like a good place to search.

unit416, where do you live?  Have you tried an arcade auction?

Check the pinball shows on Mr Pinball too, they're a great place to buy games.  If a pin survives a whole weekend of everyone playing it, it's probably in good shape.
