I think you bestow far too much significance to my humorous machinations in your new found pinball wisdom. One simply has to look beyond the trees to see the forest I am standing in. :FP:

I think we're already there. Just a few years ago the base price of admission for an EM was about $200 (less if you were lucky), an SS around $500 - 700, and a low end DMD somewhere just over $1K ... the dollar hasn't risen that far with inflation, this is a demand / supply driven market and no...

Wipe Out! is a good sleeper game, but I still wouldn't have thought it was a $1700 game. (What me know? This year anything goes.)

Re: Digikey the fastest service on earth? I've used both DigiKey and Newark (I prefer Newark too, they tend to have better parts pricing and customer service has comp'd me a couple times). Both are FAST, they have some sort of expedited cross-border arrangement because of their presence on...

I think I mentioned it before, but I remember when mortgages went to 21% for a bit in 1980. People who were stuck between mortgage renewals started losing their houses or had to sell well under market value because no one wanted to get a mortgage. Luckily I was still a "renter" at the time...

No, for ... apparently the art of reading is also lost on a younger generation... :roll: The 30 somethings have enabled the old geezers to sell their beater's at inflationary pricing in order to "cash in" on the freely available credit. Look for the bubble to burst when Mortgage rates go...

In 2000 / 2001 Williams sold it's rights to reproduce full-sized machines of Williams titles to Mr. Pinball aka The Pinball Factory Australia (Wayne Gillard ). In 2004, Gene Cunningham of Illinois Pinball Inc. obtained the rights to finish production of the last 1996 Capcom game "Big Bang Bar"...

This is true and probably of equal effect on the market as the newly arrived "30-something" buyers. (No offence guys, I was 30-something once too, and just jealous now - wait until you reach mid-life and start realizing that your time here and earning power is suddenly limited by the need to...

I blame it on the new 30 something's that are buying houses with ultra low mortgage rates ( I remember when they went up to 16%+), and squeezing in a few extras for their "man caves." If they have children their probably not out of diapers yet and haven't started costing hem an arm and a leg...

I have an unused (NIB) P-Roc Pinball controller (V2) and two mounting plates that I had plans for that I have abandoned. Includes a free Mini RS-485 Master Board for interfacing serial driver boards. If anyone's interested, CDN$325 + shipping or pick-up in Waterdown (you get free import, no...

My "kingdom" for a HUO Shaq Attaq! No, really. (But there ain't much left in the kingdom. ;) Am, I the only collector in the universe that actually likes Shaq Attaq?

Re: WTB Fish tales or Wolrd Cup Soccer World Cup features lots of "breaks" in the action to further the game's narrative. Of the two Fish Tales is far by far a faster game (particularly with the boat and turn about making a very risking short field) with the occasional ball whizzing by you to...

I'm the "king" of the sleepers, as that's all I can afford to own! LOL. Some of my "sleeper" hits have made it in the last decade to the High "B" or "A" lists now. STTNG was one. I picked up my first one for around $1700 and no one really wanted it because the "theme" was lame.... :FP...

Re: WTB Fish tales or Wolrd Cup Soccer Of the two of these, both of which I have owned and loved, World Cup is an amazing package, but the game play got predictable for us since it's fairly linear and easier to achieve. Fish Tales, which I never thought would be a keeper has become a favourite...

Bumping, because it's Fall! Thanks for looking. $100 Finders Fee offered for tip that results in a purchase.

Interested in acquiring a TX Sector - any condition, even not working. :ugeek: Finders fee of $100 for information that results in its purchase. Would prefer to buy outright, but things I have to potentially include in a Trade (+/-) would be a D.E. Laser Wars (Player condition), a really...

I LOVE BK2K for those reasons. Most people who really dig it like ti because of the driving beat of the music. I just started to get really good at it, playing daily, before I sold mine (which I do regret, but it was at the bottom edge of my "keeper" list). I owned both until recently and...
