Where can I play a CSI in Winnipeg?

[paulohotline]

Hey now, I may have found a theme the wife likes? Showed her the video and she dug it. Anyone know of one in a private collection that may be for sale?

[gms]

I've never heard of one. Pinball themes are funny, you never know what people will like. Everyone is drawn to a title for some reason. You better find one for her! My kids and wife love the new Avatar, its been going almost steady for 2 days. Now they're ok with the basement clutter again.

[Malibu-ss]

that is your buddies at starburst having that auction

[paulohotline]

Hey are you serious? Think Jerry can pull it out of the auction and sell privately? They rated it a 9 how bad could it be....oh wait....

I will send him the link and see if its him. Hey Now!

[paulohotline]

I emailed Jerry, will let you know if that SB's auction. The address does not match where Jerry works but it could be their warehouse. I will know by Monday.

Hey GMS congrats on the NIB Avatar, checked out your pics, its absolutely stunning. What does a NIB stern smell like

[gms]

Thanks. I'm not sure how to put it but its real "smooth". Kinda wierd. What surprised me as I've never even seen a new Stern before was the backbox is smaller than my old ones. Flippers are real "bouncy" must be the new rubber. Everything worked out of the box no problems so far. Audio is nice and I like the bass sound everytime the ball hits something, not just the sound of the coil. Lockdown bar is different but ok. Everything is lighter built like the playfield plywood thickness etc. Mine is the Pro model so I've ordered the LED kit and shaker motor. I've read a lot about them and it seems that a lot of the real expert pinheads poo-poo it others thought it was great. As I'm not a very good player I'm having fun with it as is the family. The stacking of multiballs is neat and its quite intense playing 8-12-16 balls all in a row 4 at a time.

Got a reply back from that dude in NE -> "Sorry it just sold for expo pick up"

Looks like expo is the place to go buy and sell PINS! I am sure you guys are gonna find some great deals. Good hunting!

Email from Jerry:

Hi Paulo,
I'll be in on Tuesday to see if this CSI is here.
I may also know of a NIB and will send an email today to find out its status.
Regards
Jerry

NIB would be a great score. My wife loves CSI so this theme would be right up her alley. My wife really likes Who Dunnit. Kindof a CSI type theme I suppose and much more affordable.

[paulohotline]

I checked out the playfield and game flow on Future Pinball as they have a work in progress CSI table. The flow is not great from what I played but it seems real cool. Definately an under appreciated Pat Lawlor PIN, with under 700 produced it could be a nice get NIB. Hey Now!

Still no word from Jerry (no surprize). I did find a dude John who is selling an HUO CSI in Oakland for $4300. Just the shipping and duty for me is a deal breaker:

Email from Jerry on the NIB CSI:
Hi Paulo,
I was able to locate a new-in-box CSI.
It is listed at $4690.00.
Please let me know if you are interested.
Am also waiting to see if the CSI in the virtual auction arrives so that I can get a good look at it.
There should be pictures of the auction unit on our site.
Regards Jerry

[prock]

Seen you post on pinside. $4690 is a bit expensive. Might be able to negotiate down? Going to place a bid at the auction?

[paulohotline]

Hey Proc, I think 4k would be a fair price for that NIB. Going to let Jerry know that, otherwise it can just sit there NIB

I am going to check out the auction, but not sure yet if I will get involved.

BTW, if you are interested in that NIB at all, here is Jerry's email -> JPower@cineplexstarburst.com

[Malibu-ss]

Paulo.there is a CSI here,plays not to bad.the ball lock into the skull is cool.......going to try and play it a bit tomorrow,as it was down tonight

[paulohotline]

Hey cool, would appreicate your feedback on how it plays, shots, flow etc. The machine looks real high tech which I really like.

[Malibu-ss]

well.I was talking to a guy I met here.He said the CSI was for sale for $3900.00.
Th e game is gone,so I am assuming it is sold.
So if you factor tax into it...that would roughly be $4400.00..plus if you have to ship.and that is used

[paulohotline]

Dang, too bad u did not get a chance to play it! Oh well.

[Malibu-ss]

ends today\
