OK, we all have great collections.
But one day, as you are working on a machine, the playfield drops on your head and it is ‘Game Over’
How would you suggest to your family as to how to sell off your machines?
(some working, some projects you never got to)
Assuming, that while they all like to play them, they have zero technical knowledge
 
currently done to 1 game but a crap load of parts - so already made it simple for them in a way but told them to sell what they want and given them a friends number that will help sell the gear at a fair price
 
Normal people will have no clue what pinball machines are worth let alone their relative values

1. Use a trusted seller or
2. Use a trusted fella to advertise them on ebay
 
It doesn’t matter what age you are, you must make a Will !! EBay it’s less than a £5, takes 30 minutes write your wishes down.
I’m lucky my brother loves pinball and we share the love, he will continue where I’m at.
 
I’m not even convinced I’d need to be dead before Anna flogs the lot of them. In a coma - gone. In an ambulance - gone. Slight cold and she’s measuring up the games room to become a garden room.

Frankly if I’m dead then I don’t care what happens to any of them. I suspect Matt Vince would get a call from her. Expect some bargains people….
 
I dont even want to think of this **** ATM however that said I've already asked a mate to chuck the lot on here and get what he can for the Famalam as im the only player in my house nowadays.

Sgt, just to help you out I'd take your WH20 off your hands, you could even double your money on what you paid for it? just let me know.

I have a "what to do when I die" Google Doc which has info on my bank accounts, as well as the value of some of my higher value items (I have lots of collector edition books and fountain pens). This reminds me though, I've not looked at it in a while and haven't added the pins!

Just make sure the document actually survives you - you'd be amazed how much online stuff dies when you die.
