Quoted from RobT:Dude, I thought you said you'd never sell this!?
It won't sell, only blown out crap sells for over 8K.
Quoted from gweempose:I guess this is what I don't understand the most. Why does $1,500 in parts + labor suddenly equate to a $4,500 increase in asking price. Granted, I would have no problem with you asking whatever you want for your machine, but I honestly don't understand why so many people are suddenly willing to pay these premiums. It used to be that only a place like HEP could get that kind of money for their work, and that was for a full high-end restore.
If you do sell at a lower price the flippers buy it and jack the price.
I had this happen on two games I sold, I broke even and the flipper made over two grand and took credit for my work.
I found out about it when a buyer wanted one of my games and tried to trade me back my games.
I now price them high enough that the flippers don't email me anymore.
I have a couple retailers that pay me for quality rebuilt games and I usually get the trade in to restore.
If I priced my restored AFM for 8K a flipper would buy it and get 11 for it.
I am done doing that.
Quoted from Pinballer22:It will take alot more to produce a true high end restoration! Just finished my AFM and I personally dropped a hell of alot more. PF, Cab decals, ramps, plastics, chroming, mods, and tons of the little stuff. Depends on how much of the stuff you use is new.
Based on this auction it makes me think about throwing a routed MB I have folded up in the garage on Ebay and see what happens. However, like others stated the trick would be finding another for less to make it worth it
15 won't do it on a AFM restore, I have over 3K in parts in mine.
I just sold my NOS MB PF and parts, I looked at a blown out POS and half the game didn't work.
Trashed cab with a broken backbox and a reimport.
The guy is asking 65 for it.
Smoke another one and get back to me.
