I've got one in my shed you can have for $80...oh hang on, that Homepin's that been sitting here for the last 3 months

Yep i managed to pick up a Flash at a garage sale for $40 (powered up but not working, reseating the connectors sorted that out), pinball machine was listed in the ad, so i was there like a 'Flash' - it was my 1st one, and i knew nothing about them, and the guys on here helped me get it going, was the start of a collection that is now ever growing!

I also managed to pick up an Indiana Jones from a wanted ad i placed for $300 (Homepin may have been a bit adventurous with his $200 - or it could be someone else as well).  The guy responded to the ad, i went and looked at it and the playfield is pretty much perfect (although dirty), usual cab fade and errors popping up everywhere when you powered it on.  I was umming and arring as to what to offer him, when he piped up and said i guess they are only worth a couple of hundred dollars like this....so i though about it for 0.2 of a nanosecond and $300 later it was mine - oh and cost of repairs was less than $3, it was the U20 chip gone.

I think you've just got to be lucky to find bargains though, as i put a few wanted ads in with no repsonse, you just need to get it on the right day when a 70yr old is cleaning out her sons shed who has cleared out....
