   i am not really trying to sell everything off.  if i do, great.  i am selling for what it would take to get the machine off me.
   bk2k i thought would never go anywhere and i have had that machine for quite awhile.  miss it already.  but price was paid and it was paid happily.  i made profit?  i have no idea.  i sold it for what it would take to pry it out of my hands.  the buyer was after me for it since i first got it.  

  $1000 profit isn't that bad.  i know others that got a great deal on machines and more then doubled it when they sold.
i asked the price on maaca on haunted house pinballs and got some good replies.

  there is collectors, repair guys and others who buy non working or issue machines for cheap around or at auction for cheap then sell for alot more later.  

   shoot.  my first pin was a dr.who that i got for $350 and it was quite nice.  i sold it to a twilight zone and told him the price beforehand.  we did cash and trade.  we were both more then happy in the deal and i think i came out at least three times the amount higher then when i started.  but that started me on the pinball big time.
  put it up on kijiji at that price and on macca for $1600 and there is no issues with the machine now.  popper had a bad
  wire conected.  dave fixed it up.
  
  now $600 profit isn't even that.  when you put into the price i paid... missing a day of work.  ask dave.  my days are busy and i make between $200-700 a day.  driving on short notice and paying for a friend to come.  with over a 9hr drive.
