Got a Facebook marketplace alert for a Flash about 45 minutes from me that needed cleaned up and a missing flipper button replaced. Aside from my first question of "how do you lose a flipper button", I asked the seller if they would take $400 instead of the $1,000 they were asking. 45 minutes later pin number 5 is in the garage and will make a nice winter clean up project.

Nice! Every time I see a post like this I consider creating a Facebook account.

And, yes, you can lose a flipper button! The right button on my Robocop pin falls out now and again. I should really fix that..... :)

The Facebook pin and arcade groups are usually pretty good, but if you watch the marketplace you'll see a few good deals and a GREAT deal each week usually, plus you can set alerts when items matching search terms are posted - it's really nice. I've missed out on a $100 Track and Field and a $450 Eight Ball Deluxe in the past few weeks alone. It's usually people inheriting these games that just want them gone and know nothing about them. I honestly knew I was lowballing the guy (but 1,000 is too high on this game anyway IMO), but he said yes and just wanted it out of his garage as fast as possible.
