PRICE: Depends on the item.

Sooo. Banjo Girl Fiona has developped a strange new found love for pinball machines and has asked me to enquire about them here
I've no idea what I want, what price I can put in etc... but if anyone's got a working one for sale or know someone who's got one let me know. Preferably a simple & "easy" to maintain one if that exists at all

...my WIFE has asked me to get a pinball machine ! :eek:

The Last Bandit

Roughly how much would you be looking to spend? A 3 figure or a 4 figure sum?

Id say thats about the right price for a non DMD game of that era.
850e
I had that Jurassic park lost world up for weeks at 1000e last year and got 0 interest !

not sure really. Sort of testing the waters right now and getting to know what things are worth. Not looking for anything fancy, just fun and possibly under the 4 figure sum if that exists

Ah hopefully something pops up for you. I'm going to shift my No Good Gofers soon enough I think, Have to play the **** out of it for a week or two now to be certain I want to sell it first.

Just for example I'll be pricing that around £2000 and hopefully have someone in the UK buy it or trade it for another pin. A 90's DMD game will usually set you back around the €1000 mark, depending on the machine, condition etc.

I'll keep an eye out for you anyway of any games I think will suit

Oh he wanted a good game......

No point in getting crap!
The pinside top 100 is a good place to judge a game.
Dispite it's name it goes to 500 or something.
Checkpoint is in the 300s
First game to use a dmd!
Be it a tiny one

Anyone know where I can rent a pinball machine for a couple of nights - having a party and thought it might be a laugh to get one in for the night
