hey dawgs, got a chance to buy a pretty minty Dirty Harry pin. Should I do it? I have never played one, but it looks like a bad ass game.

Canton, OH
it seems like dirty harry pinball machines don't come up in the market too often tho, I asked the dude if I could get it for 2 gs but he wasn't down. Bummed me out.
I sold mine last year for 1450...it was truly minty with no magnet burn...the guy put it up for 2650 and still has it. Last year everybody was hating DH, Why the new found love
I've never seen magnet burn on a DH?
Quoted from Whysnow:That is very high for my location. no idea where you are located, but $1500-$2k TOPS is the current market on DH.
^this^

Agreed. That is really expensive for a DH.
Ok say I don't get it, I wonder how long I would have to wait till another one comes up, this is the only thing that has me shook.
Quoted from Shoot_Again:One in seattle area posted without pics for 1500
another with pics for over 2K
I holla'd at the dude who had one for 1500, but he never called back, I think he may be scammin'
They rarely come up around me. I drove 600 miles round-trip to buy mine for $2000, and I don't mind that it's on the high side because it's in really nice shape. Passing on a truly "minty" DH over $250 is a bad idea IMHO, but as always verify that claim first.
DH is a great player pin, like BSD, Shadow and Congo. Once collectors realize this, $2000 will be the floor, not the ceiling.
Jeez, don't listen to some of these guys.Obviously a few cheap skates in da house! Your saying its MINTY and they say $2250 is too high? Then they really have no clue what the market is today... if its close to MINTY as you say then you shouldn't even be asking. Just get it! This title is going up! As long as your not overstating the condition $2250 is more than fair...

Have you seen the pin in person and inspected it / played it? The reason I ask is that an offer over the phone or through email sometimes is pointless to a seller. That is not always the case, but it can be depending on the sellers viewpoint. I have had many offers for pins and other items without the person following through. At this point I believe an offer when I see the cash, unless I know the buyer.
Quoted from PinFan4Life:I had one for a while, but got bored with it quickly. I'd wait for a better game personally. $2k seems too high also.
ditto , it gets old. And we had a sweeet huo-like condition DH.. paid 1200 less than 1.5 years ago.
meh 
You can listen to the pinflipper that cheers on every price as always going up, or you can listen to facts...
here is a local one that looks really nice. I figure it has been on Clist for a few days, so hopefully no harm in posting it to use as an example.

This is a steal and will be gone in minutes... a minty DH easily worth $2250, PERIOD! HIP HIP HOORAAY!

And because you insult someone you are the "facts"? You found one listing on Craigslist. How about a fellow pinsider selling one. Maybe you made that listimg to support your claim?
again, the key word here is MINTY. That is the description the OP used. If it is seriously MINTY it is seriously worth $2250, PERIOD. Condition means everything. $2250 doesn't get you much today when it comes to WPC 90's pins. Especially is we're talking MINTY!
It would help if we also knew the OP and where he lives has a bearing on price. Hey dawgs does anyone know bigballa69? Or is this a retailer fishing?
Quoted from hollywood:It's all relative to what someone is WILLING to pay. Personally I find it high for that title....but like others have said, if it's on your wish-list....go for it!!!!
Quoted from teekee:again, the key word here is MINTY. That is the description the OP used. If it is seriously MINTY it is seriously worth $2250, PERIOD. Condition means everything. $2250 doesn't get you much today when it comes to WPC 90's pins. Especially is we're talking MINTY!
The fact of it is, you're both right. We got a deal, but there's thousands of people that will pay 2k+ im sure. that's just the way it is

Thanks, That could end up in Rhinelander.

Exactly!! Use the prices mentioned here as a guide and a guide only. If it were me, and it's local and I can inspect it and it is really nice and it's a title I really want and I can load it up and take it home, it's worth $2250 all day long.
Not worth that much to you and you'd rather search and search for something cheaper, knock yourself out.

those aren't the pics of the actual machine for sale.
Quoted from bigduke6:Thanks, That could end up in Rhinelander.
I've followed this game for a while... seems like have alll been around $1600-2000.
But also depends on what you mean by minty.. just because top of pf is shopped/waxed and no broken plastics.. but if cabinet has a few scratches and especially if underside of pf is typical filthy, uncleaned/dirty brackets... then yeah that would seem little high...
yeah, I know. Sorry if that bunked anyones deal. I figure the add has been up for a while so anyone looking was already on it.
That said, I prefer to site a real sale rather than just fabricate sales from unicorn land in order to validate claims of prices.

I'm a real guy, not a retailer, buying my first pin. I think i'm gonna go for it. Thanks for all your help doods!

Good luck dude. Cool pin. Enjoy and welcome to collecting. 
Quoted from shlockdoc:Hey dawgs does anyone know bigballa69?
Hahahahaha, quote of the day.
Quoted from matthess:You'll be pissed after an hour of play. Pass on this title and try something else.
Yes, but he'll be delighted after 10 hours of play. Get it, get it...
