BTTF Pinball Machine

[ydjk58]

I would like to get a BTTF pinball machine for my Man Cave at a decent price, if it needs work, and I can do the work, and save some money up front that will be great as well. If anyone here sees on for sale, or knows of anyone willing to part with one. let me know, and bonus points if its in the PA region, as I can go pick it up

I've been I pretty intense pinball collector for a few years now; typically the best ways I know to find a machine are:

http://www.xmission.com/~daina/classified/search_for_sale.html
^This is the mrpinball pinball classified ads^ typically a lot of machines here. The rule is "SUPPOSED" to be that if the ad is still up, the machine is still available. (if you keep a game up they start bugging you to take the listing down)

The other site I usually use is: http://craigsy.com/
Since here you can search craigslist by radius. (craiglook.com used to be the best but the site shut down)

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.pinball/topics
^This is the biggest pinball forum. (google groups "rec.games.pinball" or RGP) People post wanted's and for sale's here all the time. All you need is a google user name (same as your gmail account)

Then obviously there's ebay.

If you're looking for an idea of price:
http://www.bostonpinball.biz/ebay0511.htm
^This site tracks ebay sales of pinball machines so it will give a general idea of what a machine is worth. Looks like over 56 sales, the average price of a BTTF is $1,313.

Best of luck! When I found my BTTF, I searched craigslist by radius, and there was one for sale about 3.5 hours away from me. Turned out the machine was home use only bought directly form the manufacture back in 1990! It's not the best pinball in the world but certainly fun, especially for DeLorean owners and BTTF fans. I wish I could tell you it's for sale but honestly it would be one of the last to leave my collection.

I know of a BTTF pinball for sale right now, asking $1500. If you are serious, I can give the contact info to you. I don't own it personally, a guy in my neighborhood is a pinball guru. He buys them, refurbs them, then sells them. Let me know if you are serious.

I guess it would be safe to say this pinball machine is sold already? If anyone knows of another pm me please.

Yes. It is long gone by now. If I find another, I'll let you know.

I am a pinball collector as well. Currently I have 8 pinball machines and 12+ arcade machines. I've been looking for a BTTF pinball for some time now. All the ones that do show up for sale tend to be 800+ miles away and full working and selling for top retail locally so with shipping the math doesn't work out for me. I keep watching for one and go by DMCH to play theirs when I the hankering get's too bad.
