Wow, a Black Knight NIB
« on: June 30, 2009, 01:13:57 pm »
Flippers.com has a few old NIB games and they have one Black Knight left. I can't imagine how awesome it has to be to unpack that game and set it up and know that you're the first one to get to play on it. It's going for $6995, and I don't think that's a horrible deal if you're a big fan and a real serious pinball collector.

Man, I need to make my millions faster.

That has been sitting on their website for years now... as great as that would be, there are issues with anything that has sat in a box for 30 years, and you are paying $3000+ for the privelege of opening a box that has already been opened.

Plus odds are you'll still have to do some work on the boardset after all this time.  I'm fairly sure they shipped with AA batteries on board.

Well that answers that... those can't have been there the whole time or you'd have green crud all over the top corner of the driver board.

The website explicitly says they were in there the whole time.

 ;)


They have made a lot of claims that you have publicly stated you think are BS... and you're picking one about 30 year old AA nonleaking batteries as truth?   :P

Hmmm, batteries don't always leak if they're stored in a dry, stable atmosphere.

Did they have DuraCell "copper top" batteries back then?

I was wondering that too but didn't ask.  I remember them pretty far back and they always looked the same.  Too bad we can't zoom in and see if they have the date on them like they do now.   ;D

Here's a pic of the customer who bought the last N.I.B. Black Knight that is linked from Flipper.com

Notice no batteries?
