I spent some time last week at a vendor's place, picking up a new pin. Wow, what a warehouse!! This is about half of the pictures I took. He had multiples of just about all the desirable games, many in really nice condition. Very, very few had any playfield wear, but a lot of them had cabinet fade.

The Monster Bash's were both OK, one had a good playfield with normal wear on the hole, the other had more wear on the hole and the Drac track. Both needed cabinet decals.

All the AFM's were faded but had great playfields.

Saw a couple of Tales of the Arabian nights but didn't take pictures (they were in the shop).

The MM's were both nice. Didn't really see any issues on them.

He had several really nice Scared Stiff pins, and a few Elvira and the Party Monsters.

Two Whitewaters, playfields were good but they had a lot of broken plastics.

Two TZ's, I could only get a good look at one but it was awesome with just a missing plastic that I could see.

Please don't ask about prices or details unless you're VERY serious. He is knowledgable about the market and most of his prices are on target. No $2k MM's here...

Any ball park idea, what he was wanting on a Tales of the Arabian Nights? I've been casually looking for one within driving distance.

Thanks!

Nice collection and an impressive view all these games together, but indeed don't expect to get any deals.

Most operators like that think they always can get more than what you offer.
Offer them 8k for a MM and he wants 9. Offern 9 and he wants 10.

The pond "has been fished hard". I can remember auctions back in '98 where you would have Medieval Madness, Theatre of Magic, Circus Voltaire, Corvettes, Creatures, Eight Ball Deluxes, Fathoms.......

The warehouses have been slowly emptied, the remaining ops out there know what they have now, values have gone up, the supply has dried up.

Glad I got in early and enjoyed a lot of the years that pins could be had cheap and sold for some profit. Not so much anymore.....
