Submit a Pinball Machine For Sale
Curated Listings. Honest Machines. Serious Buyers.
We operate a highly selective pinball auction marketplace.
Not every machine is a fit — and that's intentional.
If your machine is accepted, we'll work with you to present it clearly and connect you with serious buyers nationwide.
Before You Submit
Submitting a machine is not a guarantee of acceptance.
We review every submission to ensure:
- Accurate representation
- Clear condition disclosure
- A good fit for our buyer audience
If your machine isn't a good fit, we'll tell you honestly.
What We're Looking For
We typically accept:
- ✓Complete pinball machines
- ✓Home-use or operator-owned
- ✓Working or non-working (as long as condition is clear)
- ✓Modern, solid-state, and classic titles
- ✓Honest "as-found" machines
You do not need to restore or repair the machine before submitting.

- ✕Machines missing major components (playfield parts, boards, backglass)
- ✕Severe water or fire damage
- ✕Machines with undisclosed reproduction cabinets or playfields

If you're unsure whether your machine qualifies, submit anyway — we'll review it.
