Is it possible???

Have a look on ipdb and read the reviews and see if TMNT works for you.

Also I'd suggest asking for lots of close up shots before making the trip. Even then what I've learnt is that pinball sellers will only show you pics of the good bits hardly ever of the bad. Maybe wait for something a little bit closer to home.

Ah. now I found a popeye a couple hours closer for $1200. What doe you guys think of popeye? It looks kinda fun in the promo.

OK- I'm I not searching for these video gaming auction properly? I can't find anything about them. I'm in Kansas City, MO...google is driving me nuts! I wouldn't think they'd be this hard to find...
Any help appreciated.

I think this is what your looking for.

Super Auctions, Home / Amusement Real Estate, Family Entertainment Centers, Classic Video Arcade Games and Pinballs

I did check out IPDB...

there were just so many mixed reviews I wanted to see if any of the trusted pachitalk members had experience. ;-)

I think I will wait though. That's a long drive.

That's exactly what I'm looking for, but hopefully something in Kansas City or DesMoines. Do those things just make rounds and show up almost everywhere once a year, or are they only only in specific cities?

The auctions seem to be in the same places 2 or 3 times a year.

As for Popeye I haven't played it but love the cab art and playfield. If it's in good condition and fully working I'd try and get it for $800 no more than $1000.

i would ask for a bunch of pictures and maybe a video before driving that far.

whenever most people are selling something its always in great shape

Good call on pics and vid.

It seems like a lot of people don't love TMNT, and others say it's a great easy game and good for a beginner (which is me) I found one 2 hours from me, but the guy wants $1000...and I don't think i like it THAT much. If I'm going to spend that, I'd rather get something on my wishlist...

If this helps any I got my Black Knight 2000 for $1000, Baywatch for $850, Checkpoint for $950. So there are good pins out there at reasonable prices.

BK2000 is a brutal game and not for the faint of heart.

Checkpoint is fun and the graphics are nice, backglass is very nice. Lets you choose the game music also.

Baywatch is very underrated. Once you change out the right flipper coil to the next higher power one, all the shots in the game can be made. Also has the large DMD in it with some good animations.
