Looks like a pretty nice JP... some minor cabinet wear here and there, but overall decent. What kind of shape are the outholes in? Do you have any pics of them before the Cliffy's?

I would say as it currently sits- 1400-1600. Once fully working, 1500-1800 depending on scoop wear.

Just an FYI... One of your Pterodactyls went astray and is currently hovering over your pop bumpers..

I agree, depending on condition $1400-1600, maybe as high as $1700 but I think at $1500 it will move quickly, I bought and sold both mine in the $1300-1500 range. I have owned two JP's and really love the game. I would love to own a third someday. Both I owned were really nice examples, I miss JP, fantastic DE game!

I listed mine for $1800 and after 2-days accepted an offer of $1500. I would have left it up longer by my ad kept getting flagged. Probably from the buyers offering $1000. I regret selling it and would buy another for $1500-$1600.

It is an interesting title, it seems like the price has been well established for a long time and really hasn't shifted that much over the years. It is also interesting in that a lot of people (myself included), have owned it multiple times, and miss it once it is gone and are looking for another at some point to replace it. Why the heck do we keep selling it, LOL? I am that way with Fish Tales too. I have owned that three times, and miss it when it is gone (like it is currently).

I bought and sold both mine in the last three years. It has been pretty stable in price over the last three years, here at least. If I bought another today, I would expect to pay $1300-1600 depending on condition. The Dinos are prone to problems and if that does not work properly, then you are looking at some work and possibly expensive parts to get it working properly. DE's seem to remain pretty stable, not going up but not down either. List it at $1700-1800 and see what offers you get. It is a great game, one of DE's best games IMO.

Yes Fish Tales, I need another one, I miss that game too, dam I need more money and more space

Sold my first one 7 years ago for 1100. Sold my second one 1.5 years ago for 1400. The first one was in nicer shape, the second one was similar in condition to yours. (LEDs (not GI though), Cliffys, minor cabinet blemishes, etc.).

It may have creeped up a little, but not insanely like some of these other titles have. It is still one of my favorite bang for the bucks out there.

I miss my old JP. I would love to get another one if I had more space.

This

In Colorado I saw a few sell for 1500-1800 recently.. With your upgrades I would say 1800 is fair

I guess I misunderstood.... You keep saying "asking" prices..... Ask whatever you want ... As far as selling prices go, that is what I was quoting. Both of mine had toppers. I have attached the latest Boston Pinball with the last 3 years (I believe it is 3 years?)

I don't ever ask more (or is it less?) than I am willing to let it go for. My asking prices is my selling price, and I have never taken longer than about a week to sell a game. I have had far more success aproaching sales this way, because my selling price is typically what people's asking prices end up coming down to. I guess I am just not a fan of the selling game.....

Also on the Boston Pinball I just clipped- 1493 is the last 3 years of sales (239 machines), and 1439 is the most current sales average (12 machines).... So it has actually gone down a few bucks ...

Mine both had toppers, LED's and cliffys. I think 2k+ is pretty high, I would not pay that for one but that is me and I have stated I owned two and would own it again, but not at that price. Location has a bearing on price as well. Buying the topper separately is expensive because many of them were never put on or removed at some point. I have seen the toppers sell for $75-100.

Ebay is Ebay, expect to pay %20-30 more for a game off ebay. From what you have stated about the game, you should be able to get $1600-1800. I would be hard pressed to pay more then $1500-1600 for one myself, but again, I have owned two. These are all just opinions from the people that have responded.

Either list it higher and go down or list your firm price and stand on it. JP is a very fun game, you should be able to get a fair price for it.

It sounds like you already have a very good idea of what you think your machine is worth, Dung.

And also restored games, HUO games, and everything in between. The low was 225 and the high was 4163. It is an average, nothing more or less. Condition was all over the board. This also doesn't take in the Ebay fees and Paypal fees which you have on top of the sale, so figure a few bucks lower to the seller as well.

I really hope you get whatever you want for the game. I think I misunderstood your post from the beginning though because you kept saying asking price. I just assumed you wanted to know what they actually trade hands at and were going to put a few hundred on top of that.

If you want top dollar, put it on Ebay, and put it on there soon, as it is tax refund time and you have about 4-5 weeks before sales will start to drop as people start heading outside for their activities.

Again, not slamming your post, just not understanding what you are getting out of the post (other than what you should "ask"). I personally say you ask $1,600, sell it for $1,600 and not deal with all the time it takes for each tire kicker to play the pricing game with you.....

I still stand by the price hasn't changed in a few years and it hasn't (I even provided sales data). I won't argue that people's "asking" prices have skyrocketed though.

This JP is in great shape, I paid $1700 for mine up here in Canada-land and it's pretty rough.

I have to agree with this. I would be kicking myself pretty hard if I paid $1500 or more. I would pay $1300-$1400, but thats the highest I would go. Plus any shipping fees....that would really be rough.Again this is just my opinion.

If it is fresh off route it is not worth $3K.

Yea, I would pay $1500-1600 if it were nearly perfect or close to perfect, like my last one was.

It is a fantastic game, one of my personal favorites, if it were made by Williams/Bally, it would be a 2-3k game, maybe more. DE's seem to keep pretty consistent numbers, in my experience only.

You should have no problem getting close to or what you want for it Dung, it will sell, it is one of the greatest, under rated, Data East games out there. Among the other great features of that game, System shutdown is very rewarding, it is a winner for me!

Is there any way to make the pics bigger? Are those taken with a phone?

Nevermind... they're larger now.. Guess I need to be logged in.?

I'd probably pay $1600 for that JP, so there is probably someone out there willing to pay $100-$300 more. I don't think an ASKING price of $1900 is out of the question.

Id pay 1700 or so fully LEDed. But I couldn't make the drive. Might have to wait for the next expo before I get my next pin.

Jp with all the leds and the topper in great shape is worth 21 to 2200 and you will get it if you ask for it. I have been offered 2200 for mine. 1500 is year ago price.

i don't know too many people who'd give $2200 for a JP but you only have to sell it once. Shoot for the moon, i say.

I sold a beat up one this last December for 1,700

Whatever you do, buy Dung's JP with confidence.. though I didn't buy his NASCAR, he was willing to go above and beyond to make the sale happen. Kudos to that.

+1, $2200 from $1500 a year ago means it has jumped %30 in price. Pretty good for a machine not even ranked in the top 50 on Pinside with a production run of 9008 units. Starting to wish I had my last one back, it was amazing

Had a question for you JP owners / previous owners. That is one tall machine! Does anyone happen to have the total height including the topper? Thanks!
