WTB USS 64 or V56-7 around VA

[tkaz]

Well, if the ad says he 'needs' to sell it, then maybe he 'needs' to lower the price...I was surprised to see it still for sale, I think its been up for sale for two years now.  The most I have paid for a USS machine is $150, I got lucky and got one off a board member for $25 that needed a little work, and another for $75 that was in good shape but had a terrible paint job.  I think those times are gone finding deals like that now though.

pinballnut, tkaz,

Have either of you even been to one of these auctions? It's a bit of a drive for me (east of Richmond), but some of them look good. No buyer's premium.

I've never been. Going to keep my eyes peeled on that site for now on...  Thanks..

I ran an ad on the local CL and had a guy respond with a 56-7. Turns out I know him, fellow Pinball collector, said he just purchased it for $150 but it was smaller than what he was looking for along with being a can stack.  I traded him some glass score displays for it today.  Someone sprayed the black on it..  In the next few days I'm going to utilize some of my cabinet restore techniques n see if I can salvage the original paint underneath.

Hopefully the outcome, on this little vendo, will be the same as this Comet machine that took about an hour to get back the original artwork.

Here's the only pic I have of the machine right now (from ebay listing)

That looks pretty good.

I'm in Lynchburg but I'm willing to travel.

I sent you a direct msg.

[Pinballnut]

Sent you a reply...  Not sure if it got to you? Doesn't show up in my out box.


Yea, it made it.. Didn't notice the "save a copy to my inbox" option.
