I thought I'd never sell my Gorgar but I'm thinking of selling it as I want to rotate my collection-I'm more than happy with my 5 pinballs I have and don't want to build it up just want to change a machine or too so as to not get bord with my games. After buying WCS its added a whole new interest in pinball again so thought what the hell sell one and buy another what you guys reckon am I mad? ^&^

No, most of my pinball freinds in the USA seem to rotate their collections
If you feel that you have played a game to it's fullest, and you find yourself turning that game on less and less, why not sell it and move on
Not that I would ever even think of selling my games
-
I do it, but you can regret selling the odd one.
-
A few people have asked me if I regret selling all the older games I once had.
Anyone that has asked me that gets my stock reply ......"not really, I only REALLY regret selling one of them ......................................Gorgar"
Good luck with your decision mate #@#
-
im always rotating my pins.. the more i do it the more "keepers" i seem to have.
But even keepers have their time frame... one took 20 years to move on, but move on it did and i do not regret doing it at all.. in fact i found it quite liberating.
So many quality pins out there and so little space to house them... rotation is a must!
Im rotating right now so i can get these bloody projects on the floor and up and running
-
Cant sell the Gorgar ,,Mate!!! hard machine to get, when looking..
-
I know of a guy looking for a Gorgar.. %$% %$%
-
Not even sure what I'd ask for it?? nice new BG also..Can I ask for suggestions and no playfield wear.

Hi Peter
I am going through the same thing with my street fighter 2 Have you thought about swapping with another member or local pin mate you know for a 6 -12 mth period You would both still own your machines but at end of the time swap back. By doing this you would get rotation and work out how much you have missed Gorgar This is just an idea I spoke to mr Pinboligist about as he has so many games I would love to have. What do you reckon
-
$6000 That way if you do sell it you can buy any machine you want.
I would sell mine but I'd have to get crazy money to part with it

Actually, that is more than a great idea, it's really great.
Obviously you would need to trust the member to look after the pin for you, and work out something about maintenance if the pin develops a fault.
But I can see that AP could easily have a section for swap loans.
-
If there is enough interest, we could create a seperate section.

Yep.. Ian (howzat) currently has my Stern Lectronamo on loan at his house, and may end up with one or two more yet depending on how things pan out for me (he is also storing Hot Hand for me). There arent too many people i'd trust enough to leave any of my pins with, but Ian is one of the few who i do trust, as i know its well looked after *%*
Though i dont have any of his machines here.. just parts from them for repair.. :lol
-
Mate,... don't sell... you will have to change your forum name,.. *)*
just wrap her up and store in the corner for 6mths a year or so,.. then when you get the bug to play it's there for you, i find it hard to sell,but easy to buy, %.%

Oh no not the Gorgar! Surely not the Gorgar with the new backglass!!
$6,000 sounds like a good number. Especially with the new glass it looks a million bucks!

I like the idea of rotating or returnable swaps between members. I get too attached to my machines but play some less than others because the challenge has gone. Swapping a machine with a fellow member for a month, six months or even a year is something to consider. Being members, we would show the same care to the received machine as if it was our own.
-
Seeing you have 5 pinballs sell a different one other than Gorgar

seeing you have 12 how about rotating one off your wall for us Mark *)*

I made a rule when i started collecting to try and NEVER sell a machine. To date, I have stuck to the rule & probably always will.
I find, by having this rule, I have tricked my mind into a deal whereby, if I want another title, I have to drag my ass outta bed earlier and more often to earn enough money to buy another one. (not an easy trick when u are fully self employed and run your own business, cause staying home for the day and playing lots of pins looks much better than going out n finding work).
I say dont sell it Pete, just find another way, anyway, to scratch up the extra coin to buy another machine you have in mind.
$40 a week over 12 months equals $2 grand for another title. (mow the next door neighbours lawn, or anyone elses in the street,when ya do your lawn and they will pay for your next pin !) food for thought. lol
Keep Gorgar, too hard to find like yours.
-
Can you consistently beat this guy every game? Tough decision.
I have a list of about 3-4 machines I still want, and I'm always thinking about what will go first, but that decision keeps changing - I don't want any to go.
At least you will be able to buy another Gorgar in the future, but it won't be as good as yours.
If money isn't an issue give it to a relative or someone you know/trust, or swap before you sell it. If you don't miss it after some time, then sell it.
I've also thought about swapping and think it's a great idea.
-
Sell it and get another Pete, its only a box and you have had your fun with it.................you will have to change your username to the new title though,hope you get a dr dude %.%

I understand what your saying Brett and moneys not really the issues it's just that 5 pinballs and a arcade game is probally enough that way the rooms got plenty of room to also entertain and play pinball with space. So after much thought THERES NO WAY I COULD PART WITH MY GORGAR AND THE BEAUTY IS STAYING so I may have to say 6 pinballs is a good number/thanks to all who commented and it was probally a 100% on keeping her.

Live on Gorgar!

DONT get me started on rotating....Or in 2 weeks i will have a new lineup again..lol ^&^ ^&^

Peter, thank goodness you reached the only sane decission on Gorgar. I reckon you would have regretted letting it go about a millisecond after selling. Off course I speak as another totally biased Gorgar owner.

I would have to I reckon-She's playing at her best too so I must have been in BAD place for a moment to even think about it. I think what I really need is a nice FLASH to sit next to my Time Warp and Gorgar as they where so close in production times.

Frightening to see that there is another man who thinks like me #@# Last week I picked up a reasonable Flash - it needs a little work, a decent clean and tidy up - to go alongside my collection of Firepower, Gorgar, Time Warp and World Cup.
-
Yeah glad your keeping it $#$
-
Pete,
Go the Phoenix!!!!
I Know.......I am a little biased!
Soon I will have Gorgar, Flash and Phoenix lined up together.......ahhhh pure heaven!! Those memories!

Ahhh so you have the room anyway, so easy decision ^^^
Flash and Gorgar go SO WELL together, both play so different, opposite colours, but a PERFECT matching pair side by side. ^^^
I call Gorgar numerous names on a regular basis, so do my friends who attempt to beat him, but this is the first time i've heard someone call Gorgar a 'her'. I like it. @@*
