If "Local pickup only"  doesn't make sense to you...here's a summary:  Do I ship?  No.  Am I sure?  Yes!  Is this a Captain America pinball machine?  Sorry, no.If you have a Stamps.com account, you may inquire about shipping a 300 pound pinball machine.  By all means, I will be happy to slap several thousand self-adhesive stamps on this gorgeous TZ and set it by my mailbox.  But I can't guarantee delivery.  I won't lick stamps.Update 8/29/08:  I didn't expect such a strong response to a luxury item such as this in such a crappy economy, but it looks like SOMEONE's gettin' paid.  Because I'm not a collector, I can't make any kind of judgements or appraisals.  So this weekend I will try to take detailed pictures, especially of the cabinet, head and playfield.  I know that "collector quality" TZ's are fetching $4500 and up.  I don't think this machine can be considered collector quality.  I know of at least one gouge in the side of the playfield.  Never stopped me from enjoying the machine, but I know it could be a dealbreaker for a collector.I'm not going to try to represent the machine as any super-special specimen or anything like that.  It's just a fully-functional game in great condition.So stay tuned. Place a Bid!
