Shane,

I also saw it also. I am still laughing at them. There is a sucker born every minute. Like they saw what stays in Vegas should stay in Vegas. Maybe we will watch a episode of pawn star in 10 years and the Odds and Evens will still be in the pawn shop

I just watched the pawn stars episode that featured a "Odd & Evens" EM pinball machine. The guy comes in and trys to sell it to the guys for 3000 dollars in pieces and missing parts. They ended up paying the guy 1000 dollars for the game. They take the game to a restorer and he completely rebuilds the pin and tells them that they can sell it for 5000 dollars for it. I just couldnt believe what i just heard that guy say to them lol. No way hes gona get that kind of money for a 72 EM pin fully restored.

Yes, I saw that episode as well and I wonder how much of the buying they do is true or TV drama. You have to remember this show needs viewers to make it go. They know that advertising a pinball is going to get a ton of people dialed in that episode who are into pinballs. All the other pinball news groups are talking about it is as well. They are going to loose big on this if they actually spent $4000+ on this pin as it only books at $650. They purchased a Kiss pinball for $2000 awhile back but then rumor was the homeowner put it up on Craigs List saying that the exchange of money was just for show. They never actually bought the pinball but wanted to make it look like they did for rating reasons? He then intern threw it up on CL boasting it was the one actually featured on pawn stars.

I wonder how much they'll give me for my 1973 Williams Travel Time? I could use an extra grand.

This should be a message to all those who have similar pins in that condition they better stop by the Pawn Stars and get there 1000 dollars for there 150-200 junkers. Worse yet, id hate to be that guy that said they could get 5000 dollars for that EM. That guy is crazy !! So exactlly who was that dealer in Las Vegas. Anyone know him ? He's gona get hell for that.

I can just see a line a mile long with people looking to pawn off their old EM Pinball machines for $1000. I would be in line if I lived there. Heck,, I may fly to Vegas run an ad and buy up all the cheap EM's then take em to Pawn Stars...

I watched it as well and totally agree. The funniest part (besides Bid Haus buying it) was the guy trying to get 3K for it and then pushing hard for close to it. If you are going to try to sell a pinball machine at least try to put it together for the show!

Yeah, I saw that too. It was pretty funny and I was shocked they were so ignorant about something so common.
