Cant spend my stash, where are the cheap pins?
« on: September 11, 2009, 02:54:36 PM »
Nothing like having a stash of cash for my next pin and not being able to find one. Well 2kish isnt alot, so that limits me, but surely something decent is available. What makes it worse is the constant threat of "bills" appearing, and the odd one has eat away at my pin fund. I have had enough money for a decent pin for 3 months now, frustrated to the max! Collectoring is a disease, I am sure it turns us into 5yrolds sometimes.

Hmm

Have you any Gottlieb System3's in your collection?

They seem to go for a good price and are great fun to play...

I think Tony Turner had a Cactus Jacks? (if you need a quick hit)  They are great fun and a good laugh.

Mark has some excellent titles coming in soon - BK2000, Class of 1812 etc.....

I understand the whole cash burning a hole in your pocket syndrome....I suffer from that badly too.!

I am in the same boat as you Extra Ball,but am picky about what i want.Finding space was also a problem and for a split second thought i might sell Volley until i decided to sell some other stuff in the games room.Good luck mate.

Hey Tony,

I'm glad you aren't selling Volley - I think you would regret it. That is one of the best EMs ever made, to be honest the one I sold to Mark got more play than any other game in the collection....

If you are looking to buy another EM give me a call over the weekend and we will have a chat

I would jumped at your Volley Tony. I dont seem to have the EM itch anymore Tony (except for Volley or El Dorado). I love my King Pin, and it seems enough for me from that era. Cant think of an SS I would want, except for EBD. Seem to be drawn to DMDs again.  :D
