Amazing looking Arrangeball for pickup in Portland Oregon.

This arrange ball looks amazing.

Local pickup only, so hope some people are up to a road trip to the Pacific Northwest.

Nope, not local pickup only. Reread the ad.

My Bad...

Once you read the ad, you have to call to pre-arrange a shipping quote. So much the better. Of course you don't need any better excuse to drive to Portland...It's a beautiful area. Grab the machine, go up to Mt. Hood, check out Crater Lake on the way home and you have a great weekend.

[emmadog]

No call needed. I'll get the winner's zip once they win and send them an invoice with the total price.

fantastic looking machine!!!

Ok so here's the deal as stated in the ad. No calls are necessary and I will send the winner the total amount on the invoice which is specific to their location. THEN the winner pays the fee. Standard eBay procedure.

Realized I didn't have a pic of the bonus mode active. So here a ball has entered the top middle yellow pass thru pocket and has lit the pink scissors light. The green bonus button was pressed and the blinking red hand lights stopped on the rock so the player won and was awarded 2 coins. This is displayed in the readout.

I think I will definitely be in on this one.

I will reciprocate the Fruit Ponch favor and back off. All yours Card Shark, hope you get it.

I would never ask for anyone to back off on bidding for a machine, especially one being listed by a member. Emmadog does some of the most amazing restorations of Arrangeballs I have seen. He deserves to get every penny he gets for the machine. Hopefully the market price will not end up being above my budget as I would be very proud to have a machine that Emmadog fixed up.

[emmadog]

Thanks for the kind words Shark. For the record though, I haven't restored this machine. It's still in almost original condition with the exception of the things I did to it that are listed in the auction. It came from a yard sale in TX and worked fine when I received it.
The only thing unsat was the score readout was blank but that was due to a couple of loose wires.
My philosophy on restorations is to only do them to machines that really need them (for example, are unplayable) and about a third of mine have fallen into that category. The Satomi Space Wars I'm still working on is an exception. It cleaned up really nicely but I loved the theme so much I felt it needed to be in the best shape possible. The rest are just dirty and need a good cleaning which was the case with this one. I will be sad to see it go and its the only one I've ever seen.

9 bids already... Nice to see this machine is getting some love. My recent Yamato tapped me out for the time being, so I'm out of the mix, but glad to see it looks as if it will go to a good home.

20 bids now and waaaay out of my price range.

Its amazing what incentive free shipping can be! It will probably sell for very well.

[Drunkenclam]

No free shipping. Those charges are to be added at the end of auction. Once they have been calculated.

[Chumsize]

holy crap... $1050 - without shipping. Nice payday for you e-dog.



I put a pretty high bid (or so I thought) early... but it got slammed by that total.


The other on YJA would even be a bit cheaper.. with air freight from Japan.

[Drunkenclam]

Wow. 4 figure price tag. And worth every penny

[emmadog]

This ones going to a great home. I'll be listing another one today so everyone else will get another chance. Not sure which one at the moment.

[rubberratt]

WOW Gratz to seller and new owner !!!

[p.opus]

Wow, that is more than my Star Wars, my Cr yamato 1, and my Yamato 2 cell (imported directly from Japan) combined!!!

But it is in beautiful shape. I was shocked when e-dog mentioned that it had not been restored, simply cleaned.

At 1050.00 plus shipping you know it's going to a good home...
