HELP! I'm out of control!
« on: January 20, 2013, 06:52:30 AM »
I've always been a sucker for a bargain.   @@*

In the last 6 weeks my pin collection has gone crazy, numbers and quality of machine has gone through the roof.
It all started when a scored myself a bargain of a Twilight Zone.  A bit rough all over, but nothing at all I can't sort myself. Cheapest working TZ I've ever seen.  How could I resist?
A week later, I bought myself one of my childhood favorites....Williams Space Shuttle!  Not the cheapest I've seen, but a bargain nonetheless.  Had to do it!
Fast forward 2 weeks and somehow, I find myself driving home with an immaculate Theatre Of Magic in the back of the van.  Damn I'm glad the missus love pinball.
And last night...here we go again...On the road to pick up The Addams Family.  Another absolute bargain, however, this trip I also came home with a Gottlieb Black Hole in the van too.   ^&^

Whats a brother to do?

Hi, my name's Christian, and I'm a pinoholic.

how do you manage to find these bargains? I seem to be the bugger that's inflating pinball prices as I always seem to pay premium pricing.  ^&^

I know how it feels I picked up two pins last week taking the collection from 3 to 5. My goal this year was to have 6 pins so I might have to go for 8 instead.

You've got the bug. The only known cure is to open an arcade, sort of fighting fire with fire. The bug should be cured in 12-18 months. Good luck.

As I've always said, these things breed, and in fact they usually start breeding from a single example. Good luck with filling your addiction!!

HAHA!  I often advise my friends that you can buy a pin and not become a nutcase, it's when you buy the second one, you're screwed
