Hey gang, long time no type!
Anyone else who wants a BOXED Entex Black Knight, there's one on eBay right now!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/142051720185
Sad that mine will no longer be the only one known, but happy I'll finally find out what it's worth! |

Haha, was going to post the same thing! I was wondering if you had seen that.
Anyone have any guesses on what this might go for? Not really having any sales record to look at, I wouldn't even know where to hazard a guess... |

I toyed with the idea of selling mine way back in 2010 and was offered $1500, and the party was willing to hear a counter offer if that wasn't enough! (I don't even remember it being that high, now I'm kind of surprised I didn't pursue it further then!)
I guess we'll see if I should have taken it or not in 9 days!
I'm into actual pinball machines these days. I'm up to 29 of them! |

Good lord, where do you put 29 pinball machines! I know a couple of people around here with warehouses full of them...
I'm holding firm with just 1 so far... Could probably manage a second, but that would be getting tight with space. |

Half are in my basement bar, and the rest are up in the shop.
(Property values in Wisconsin are a different story than Cal!) |

It's regrettable that I have no right to participate in this auction. |

That's true, I'm sure the seller would have been better off not limiting it to the United States.
That does give me a reason to think it went too low, though, if it does! |

Well, holy crap... Did anyone expect that to go for over $2500??? $1500 wouldn't have surprised me, but damn...
So, who won it? |

Was that one of those 'make a ridiculous bid to guarantee a win'? And then shocked when you get outbid?
(But very glad they didn't bid $1 less... ) |

My sister came up with that number. I was not available at exact time so she was handling it under my direction. No lie, she apologized for losing and said she wad trying to enter a larger bid when it ended. I told her it was Ok. She said she really wanted me to have it. I asked her how much she was going to bid if it hadn't ended and she said, "I don't know, I knew you were good for it."
Got to love family.
I think I will use my savings and take a Caribbean Cruise and drown my sorrows with the drink package. |

Haha, that's awesome...
And, yeah, no shortage of what you could do with that savings to make yourself forgot all about it! |

And now everyone wants to sell one!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/201626927242
This one has the plastic bag and the styro top piece... So whoever bought the other one needs this to complete it 100%. |

Crazy! Only a couple of my actual pinball machines cost more than that! And just think, the high bidder had a proxy bid in for even more, Linda's sister's bid was one bid increment less than the selling price.
I see the new boxless one not only has the styro top, it also has the advertising pamphlet, drool drool!
She was trying to bid higher? Linda, please forward your sister's info, we may be able to whip up a surprise for you!
