Based on what perth people paid for pins at the recent auction I would suggest you bring them to perth and conduct an auction if you want to sell any pins...

1up Promotions provide all your promotional items... from keyrings to banners to stubby coolers etc, etc..... Anything you need just PM.... (website coming soon)

some interesting prices  guides

STNG seems to be very different   
its the second hardest pinball made , the second longest pinball to rebuild
the last two we have done have take us 27 and 28 hours to do .. jason one of my techs has it up on facebook the work he does
i guess depending on dealer or home seller it will be a BIG difference , you must take into account the cost of a full rebuild  or if you can do it yourself

Hey mate, happy to help out with storage,

mate you're lucky to have such an understanding wife who enjoys your hobby, she will love TAF pinball, one of the best selling titles made in my opinion. I'm guessing you will have 30+ pinballs by xmas

i agree mark, some of the prices the guys are giving seem to be very low....but its interesting seeing such low figures...i think all of us buy too many pins and hope for low prices...lol.  *%*

i would always pay more n get a machine from a dealer than to take my chances on a private sale not refurbed....taking an entire playfield apart is easy for some, but for people like me who run my own company, time is a thing i just do not have much of.
 watch all the figures climb at xmas.  *%*   the old supply n demand bit.

All depends on how the private owner looked after the machine.

TAF - $4500 - $5500
ToM - $4000 - $4500
ST TNG - $3500 - $4000

They usually fetch lower prices on eBay because they are usually tired and unshopped. Higher at dealers because they are usually shopped and have most of the upgrades etc done to ensure reliability (well only some of them go the full extent).
