cooper baseball is back

Listing is chicago still.. Was $30, now it's back up to $100?  Either this is another moron, this is the same moron, or this is a flipper moron that bought this from the other moron and is trying to resell it at a higher price.

snowblower for stern

This is just an odd ad.. This is just an odd ad (hey, he repeated himself).  This guy apparently bought 6 snowblowers last year hoping to sell them when snow broke.  Last year in chicago was so mild (it barely snowed), so he got stuck with these.  Now he's moving to florida, so obviously he doesn't need snowblowers.  He wants to trade one or two, perhaps the whole lot for pinball (because he's a 25 year collecter collector).  He would also sell sepurately separately.  $1500 value for 6 snowblowers?  $250/each is a bit high, I mean they're mostly toros, and the handles look a little rusted.

Anyway, if your in the market for an army of snowblowers, and you have a pinball you don't want anymore, contact this guy!

I hope a magic lamp comes with that aladdin

This one has been up before, it pops up now and then.  Apparently this pinball machine OS is for sale.  He's asking $2300 for an EM machine?  Granted, it looks in good condition, perhaps he bought it new in 1975?  I'm guessing it's not worth that if it still hasn't sold and he's trying again (perhaps lower your price, that's how the market works.  Can't sell, lower your price).  Anyway, here's the ad.. I had to photoshop not one but three separate phone numbers in the description.. You know, like the carpet commercials where they play the jingle 3 times so you don't forget the phone number.

NOS rubber?

Ok, this one made me chuckle.  Not because of the asking price (he could come down a couple hundred but not unreasonable).  He's claiming NOS rubber.  In the case of NOS backglass, plastics, that's wonderful.  NOS rubber?  I'm pretty sure after 38 years NOS rubber would be dry rotted so bad it would be cracked and in pieces.  So either he's selling a pinball with a mess, or he meant that someone put on new rubber (because they still sell rubber in every size).  It looks like the latter

High speed $1800.. I think the seller is high

Here's an ad that showed up today, which was quickly flagged (not by me).  This guy is selling a high speed (not 2, the first one) for $1800.  This is high, especially since he admits cosmetic issues.  I think $1800 is probably high for a pristine condition of this title (I wouldn't pay more than $1100).

On top of that, he has made the claim (which never means anything) that they are going for $3200 and $4995 on ebay.  I quickly did a search, and only found ONE on ebay, for a buy it now price of $1350.

He's also firm on his $1800 price, which is amazing.  If he actually thinks someone is going to say "yes" to a pin they've never seen in person, he's nuts

Cooperstown pinball baseball game

Here's another annoying ad that's been up for at least a year.  This guy bought this desk baseball game for $130, he's attempting to sell it for $30.


Not saying this isn't a bad deal, if I were a baseball fan and was an executive with a large office and desk, I'd probably happily pay this.  Is this a pinball game? Not sure, I mean it does have a flipper, it does have a plunger.  This is probably closer to a pinball game than a pachinko machine is.  Problem I have is that it comes up in pinball search, a LOT.  And clearly nobody wants to buy it, perhaps he should throw it on ebay, then he can broaden his audience a bit more than just chicagoland (it's not that heavy).

Oh look, here's a buy it now for $26, 3 available and one sold:

 Better yet, here's an auction starting at $10, no bids, 42 minutes left (I bet nobody bids):

pinball glass, $50??

This one really has me stumped.  Guy sells Freedom pinball machine, has leftover playfield glass (dusty, probably has scratches).  He wants, $50? There is nothing special about this, I can buy the same tempered glass (brand new, no damage) from pinball life for $25:

Now if he had playfield glass from say a 1960's pinball (where many had a custom frame around the entire glass), maybe.  But this is just a piece of glass.  Does this guy think they don't make glass anymore?
