i'm moving and need to sell 5 (or 6) SS pins. unfortunately they've been in non-climate-controlled storage for 5 years, and have started developing rust, cracked rubber, etc. i don't have time to clean them up for sale, or even test functionality, and would prefer to sell them together rather than individually. what are my best options for finding a buyer? i'd love to make a deal with a hobbyist, but i'm guessing craigslist flippers might be my best shot?

(i'd also consider a trade for a 9+ TAF, in which case i'd also sell my TAF.) cheers!

Craigs List will bring you a lot of scams, but maybe a legitimate buyer.

Pinside has an active Classified Ads section. https://pinside.com/pinball/market/classifieds

Mr. Pinball has classified ads, but they are not as active as they used
to be.
https://user.xmission.com/~daina/classified/index.html

As much as I don't like to admit it, Facebook has a pretty good
classified section.

In most cases, people will not want the entire group and try to split
them. And you are more likely to get the most money selling them individually.

If you were on the east coast, I would take a shot at them.

Don't under price them. Pinball prices went way up during the pandemic, although they might be coming down a bit. It is difficult to get a good
feel for what they should bring, because price depends on condition.
Here is a good place to start:

I have limited experience with NextDoor. From what I can tell, it's distribution for 'local deals' is geographically pretty limited.

hey, I'd be interested in your imperfect TAF if you decide to let it go and use your newfound pile of cash to get the 9+ one of your dreams. I'm local and could do cash on the barrel. Cash in hand might help you find that perfect TAF easier! I'm at: cornews aht pacbell doht net Best. D
