Hi Nick,

Welcome to Aussie Pinball! I finished my home renovations two years ago with a goal of having 3 pins in the games room, anyway I now have 7 with plans for others. They defiantly bred, good luck keeping the collection at 3!
If you've been lurking for a little bit you'll have seen that it's a great forum and most people are only to happy to offer help and advice when needed.
 Good luck with the house and enjoy shopping around a bit when it come time to purchase your first pins.  ^^^

Welcome Nick.

Your certainly going about it the right way.... You will get a great idea of realistic pricing and exactly what you should get for your money...  Best of luck with the hunt..

Welcome Nick. Good to see another potental collector and this site has plenty of information and good people. Some excelent machines come up for sale from members who care for and love them.
If you don't remember the 70s then you were on drugs.
If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.

Welcome Nick .

I reckon your best bet is to buy at least your 1st machine from a collector , I doubt you would go wrong doing that as we take good care of our toys  *%*
