FS TAF. The Addams Family. Owned since 90’s
« on: December 27, 2021, 04:00:22 PM »
  Owned since the 90’s.    Last of my 90’s pins
First 10.5k takes it.    No shipping.   I’ve had offers for 13k  and up from eBay to ship.  Injured unable to comply.
 1 switch error and new batteries needed when powered up for sale.   
Led and a few mods.    Pics on ebay
These machines are going for over 20k.    Amazing

good luck with the sale, but they are not doing 20K. anywhere or at anytime. :)

golds pull 60% of that price.

10.5 for this as opposed to a Spike game like BM66 for 10.500/   Williams all day    / spike games are Coscto Games Ikea cheap and were hard to sell at 2500 , how they conned the pin world into buying them at these gouged prices i do not know , but here we are / Good luck with the sale.

You won’t crap on Bally/Williams when Stern requires you to pay a monthly/yearly fee to get multiball on your pin at home…

ya, the market is stupid. the people create the market, so hate the player, AND the game.  :)

i have a 2012 stern, it's been bulletproof. i have a 2007 stern, it's been bulletproof. i will have a Spike 2 game, next year. i'm honest on how games perform.

i have a couple of bally/williams worth over 10 grand each. none of them have been a money pit for me. i'm into them for very little money, but again...people create the price/demand.

i just don't like weird claimed numbers to get into people's heads (it's already too difficult to buy :P ). closed ebay sales for the last 30 days, only 1 addam's family MIGHT have cleared 10 grand. :)

 â€œWorth”

   Like it or not.  TAF with toys and all the bells and whistles sells to the endless new stream of Floridians who have payed outrageous prices for new homes, a new toy.    Fort Lauderdale is crazy.   The game rooms and theaters in the homes are amazing.   

  Meet my neighbors $$$$$$$

  They will never be on the web site or eBay.  They are the end user consumer whose is buying locally and probably elsewhere in the nation. 

  TAF here has been owned for over 30 years.  Give it the toys they buy it.   

  I’m retired I see opportunity for someone who can cater to their needs.  I go into their homes and see that’s what they are buying.  Pinball is back

 They buy the high end new and restored.   I did starting in the 70’s

i've been in their homes. :)

helped design and install the Rock's gym mirrors, out in southwest ranches.

1/2 inch glass enclosures for Michael Vick's home.

Delivered and setup Nicko's Iron Maiden Limited.

there are many others.


edit: yours looks to be in good condition, and is priced more than fair for today's world.

that "these are going for over 20K" is what threw me for a loop. :)

i don't need it, but you will probably have to post a picture of the MPU, check if there's any battery leakage from the AA batteries.

what the fk. for real.. Now you buy/ you are the beta tester for SterN homepin and your reward is to pay Stern to allow you to have a multiball event.. Holy Smokes >> I was out when they raised prices on this Ikea quality at Ethan Allen pricing.

Not really.. They've already said they're going to tie certain features to paid insider subscriptions.

It’s no coincidence Stern hired an ex-Disney bigwig.
If there’s a company that’ll leach you for every dollar it’s Disney

Yes.  This guy is a class villager from South Florida many of you know and he is a close friend of mine even though I don't get to see him much lately.  I won't mention his name out of respect. He graciously welcomed me into his home many times and he is a guy that would do anything for you if you needed help.
This game is gorgeous and he takes good care of all of his things.  He helped get me into pinball and I hope that many of you would consider all I'm saying here.
Thanks.
