I would, and I'm going to. Of course, I've offered to move other machines for people along the way to help and make it more worthwhile.

Am I crazy? Maybe...

What is the game? Guess you'll have to wait and see!

That's round trip btw, not one way...I think that might be too crazy for me.

Been there, done that, for a dedicated Major Havoc. The risk of shipping the game was just not worth it getting potential damage/destroyed.
 
all depends on what it is and how good of a deal it is. If your making a cross country trip it better be worth the while man.

i can think of a few...

edot
ravenge from mars pin
fam guy pin
turkey shoot
sega time traveler( yes im that crazy- strong memories attached to that one)

and im sure theres more i cant remember off the top of my head.
 
It's the right game for me, it's in excellent shape and the price is right.

I have a couple things to sell that are going along the way, and will probably recoup some or all of my gas money in moving other stuff.

Hint: It's not a vid, so obviously it's a pin. No it's not DMD, the newer games are of no interest to me.
 
no problem, i just did 1400 round trip for a nice ToM pin, only took 22-1/2 hours ... i would go even farther for say a good deal on a nice MB

prefer not to go that far tho
 
With these gas prices...heck no. At 16 mpg and $3 gas you will spend amost $250. Factor in food, drinks, and maybe a hotel room it would be cheaper to use NAVL or some other shipper. You really have to enjoy driving.....

Exactly. Unless you've got some friends to go along with you, or have absolutely nothing else to do for a few days.

I can think of one specific pinball I would make that trip for. Good luck on the trip!
 
Hey I drove 15 hrs to get my 720..That was a round trip and we always have a blast. Got some big ass burritos at Moe's. I always turn my trips into gettin some killer grub expeditions. My buddy snagged a Freddy pin from same guy which was minty on the same run.
The road trips are a big part of the fun!!!!Have a great trip and screw the monetary side of it. Cant take it with you.
 
No f**kin' way. And this would be especially true if it were a craigslist listing, because the flake factor would be too high.

The road trips excellent. I just wish I wasn't always doing them by myself!
