Anyone saying 20k is crazy. If they’re routed then they’re beat. The guy probably doesn’t know how to maintain them and you’ll find a much different story under the playfield I’m sure.

15k to an operator is good. There was a guy who bought 8 classic B/W near me for around that. This guy isn’t a hobbiest. 15k is a good offer and 17-18k is MAX. 20k is silly, they aren’t worth it.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

That seems like a ton of work to save about $2k on a routed Metallica.
You guys are all thinking about this as if you are buying games out of a home collection from someone as stingy and obnoxious and detail oriented as us.
$15k cash is an extremely fair offer to a route operator looking to move on from used equipment he’s already made thousands of dollars in gross on.

People in this thread are having difficulty realizing that most Operators don’t give a shit about pinball.

This is how it goes for an Op:
• Buy NIB pro
• set up, glance at the level, make it as steep as possible
• literally do nothing as stuff start to break “people should put money in and I shouldn’t have to lift a finger!”
• people continue to feed it bills and coins
• *something BIG breaks* argh! Pinballs are shit this is why I don’t buy them anymore
• ask for full price after it’s been beat to shit for years and you’ve made 8 grand on coin drop
• “pinballs are junk and I won’t buy another”
• repeat anyway
