Starship Troopers Pinball Machine - Opinions?
Flake:
No argument here.
ChadTower:
He does seem to be particularly unfresh today.

You are talking about Joey P in NKC & his auction from last week right?.............................Heh, a JP from Mr. JP........ thats nifty!
Its truly doubtful he did an actual "shop job" on the machine but I am sure it worked fine. The scratches could have been a pretty easy to fix & custom match due to the simplicity of the cabinet artwork on JP's................."Paralysis by analysis" faux show!
But, enough over spilled milk......
As far as the Stargate pinball if its minty just pull the trigger! If you decide you no longer want it then just sell it, you are sure to either trade it for something else eventually or add another half dozen to it anyways. Or maybe just like you said go to the SA in 6 weeks, you will end up with a pinball soon regardless.
Dont stop by the Lions Choice out here on your way to/from, its horrible! Go to the one in Cave Springs, its arhgrga-ubly the best lol!
:woot
Flake:
Yea I'm sure that was the one in KC. Yes, yes, I know I just need to pull the trigger but by nature I usually overanalyze cost/benefit to the point its no longer a benefit......if you get my meaning.
So you have experience with this seller in KC? You by chance werent the one who bid $2700 on the Simpson's Pinball Party today were you? ;D
pinballwizard79:
So you pondered the ROI for the JP until it became....................wait for it.................extinct?
There are now 4 prehistoric periods in time: Cretaceous, Jurassic, Triassic & Flakedoesnthaveapinballmachine-assic
LOL :cheers:
No I didnt bid on the SPP, I am scared to buy a Stern unless NIB or from a collector who had it since NIB.
Maybe we should PM each other when bidding on anything in a 400 mile radius. It would suck for the two of us to get into a bidding battle & then post pics of the prize. Not because it would sting for the loser to see the machine he lost but it would sting for the winner knowing had we communicated it would have cost one of us far less.......Not to mention if one of us tired of it in 6-12 months & offered it to the other it would cost more, just my opinion.
I have dealt with Joey before yes.
Why dont you pick up a good ol Williams game from the late 80's?
They are built like freakin tanks & simple enough to work on for noobs.
Maybe a Taxi, Tomcat (careful with those tho), High Speed or etc.........
