I was surfing craigslist in far away places and stumbled across an ad that said pinball machiine for sale. What were the odds of me clicking it and finding a HUO High Speed is amazing condition??????

Anyway, the owner set up an ebay auction for me and I snagged it.....going to make the 307 mile one way trip next week. What sealed the deal on this???....WAFFLE HOUSE :D

The game still has factory mylar on it and just looks amazing in the pics.
Im so god damn excited.

HUO HS??? That seems like a rare bird! Congrats and welcome to the club, you'll love it!!
 
WOW!!!

Great score!!!

That could not have been cheap!

Just curious: Why would he need to set up an E-Bay auction if it was listed on CL?

He set it up so I could use paypal and have an 'official' sale.
Nice guy.

And price? only $28 bucks more than the average selling price on bostonpinball.biz
 
It's kind of weird, it doesn't show on completed auctions on eBay for some reason like it should.
Still stoked about an HUO HS!!! Find of the year in my book as it's my favorite game!
 
That sounds scary. I really hope this guy is legit. Someone was running a scam in Atlanta that almost sounds like this. The guy in Atlanta was in another country and had sold a machine in Atlanta through Paypal to several people before somebody caught on. See if he is open to having a "local friend" come check it out (even if you don't have one) and see what he says. Have you talked to him on the phone? Or was it all by Email?

Its legit.
I called, emailed, and his ebay name matched his first and last name...along with 100% feedback.
I went through all the motions to ensure it!
 
Very nice! My highspeed sideart was in better shape than that one side at least which is crazy it got that beat up HUO.

Guys around here have thrown around the HUO far too often, but nice pickup anyways!

Yeah Im not going to believe its HUO until I see it for myself.

Doesnt take much to ruin something when some bratty kids are around, or anything else for that matter.

Im just excited to have one with an awesome backglass and playfield.....where the business is!
 
I have always thought this is a good looking machine. I have only played it once, but it didn't wow me. I hope it does sometime in the future.

Congrats and enjoy.
 
I have a guy who is trying to sell me one of these.
If you would not mind telling me what you think it is worth?


thanks

Since Im a car crazy collector, I was after the theme more than the game itself.
Hell, Ive never even played one....LOL

Every game Ive bought ive never played. I watch the youtube videos and make my decision based off that.

The only bad call ive made was Bally Vector, which I sold off.

This game is one that I can make my money back and maybe more with no problems.
 
so $750 isnt bad then?

wish i hadnt sunk my money into 5 empty cabs...oh well looks like i need to fix some and sell some off


good score btw
