Looks like the Stoney Creek dynamic duo of HS/Comet is back on the market...this time, individually, not as a package deal. I may go have a look as it is close by...
If they were closer I would go check these out myself for others who might be looking for their first game at a reasonable price. The Comet playfield looks decent as the ones I have seen before have flipper wear like in most of the container games which I suspect is the case for High Speed given the angle of the pic taken in the ad. But anyways, if you manage to snag them both for a decent deal remember don't give away the cow by posting pics in your ad and charge per pic, per PM, per email, per text and per minute to the potential buyer.
I think I had suggested before that you team up with someone to buy each machine and you both come up with a value before hand that you are each comfortable paying that total up to a package price that the seller would accept. None of this BS fishing to see if someone would take the other game for $x amount to offset the cost of acquiring yours before they are even in your possession. If nobody is interested I would still see if you can score a deal on both and turn it into a learning experience by shopping it out and making it play 100% again. Who knows maybe you might keep it because you never knew you liked it or sell for a small profit for your efforts. That is how everyone did it before is by buying a slightly beat up or dirty machine and bringing it back to life.
