If you're going to charge 4K+ for this game, you might want to try plugging it in and seeing if it works first.

pretty cool !! never even heard of it before

Which is probably why your ad reads like an appeal to uninformed retail customers.

If you want a premium price for a below average game it should be in imamaculate condition. Rare does not mean valuable.

I've never seen one before. Found this http://www.keithsarcade.com/video-pinball.html . GLWS

Pretty cool with the color overlay, works better with this than most of the other overlay monochrome games.

Rarity does not mean its fun....

I remember playing this game at the local skating rink.

Thats not saying much, these were all highly produced.

Is there a light in your unit?

It’s not much different than the Atari cartridge video Pinball which we’ve all played a million times. Had the “bump” feature and tilt too.

You do know how many TZ, Addams Family and STTNG they made, right? Might want to compare it to a less common game than those.

Dang...

So everything should be more valuable than Addams Family? I'll sell you a Stern Meteor for 8K, it's a great deal!

Try posting this on klov, you may get more interest.

I doubt anyone on klov would spend more than few hundreds USD on it.

wtf is a bronze age title?

something from 3000 BC – 1200 BC ?

Curious what the Stone and Iron age is with regards to vids?

Bronze Age is generally pre cpu and b/w display. Although color overlays are allowed.

OP,

I admire your cordial demeanor here.

While I "think " 5k is a preposterous price for an arcade game, I really have no idea what the true value is. So if priced accordingly, then best of luck to you!

I must say though, plug it please. A gamble should be below top price.

A lot more than I expected, and a lot less than what the op is asking:

http://www.arcade-classics.com/exidy_arcade_price_guide.html

To be fair, that Exidy guide has been frequently proven wrong and/or outdated. Case in point it says $1000 collector price for QBert, whereas I just recently sold mine for $2000.

Gotta love the pinside premium as well compared to Klov:

LMAO wow he really wants to give it to us. should have known with 21 posts in 4 years and 1/3 of those in this thread

maybe he will turn it on for them over there?

I think you guys missed it. If he plugs it in and it is working the price will be adjusted accordingly. I also do not know the value, but almost 5k for untested, you may not want him to plug it in.

its only 3k over on klov and 1k on exidy's price guide

pretty amusing, must be a surprise that anyone could be on both forums ... naw, that could never happen

LOL...to be fair their pinball section has been anemic for years, and that's why I originally came over here when I started collecting pins. Tech expertise over there on arcade games is pretty stellar though.

5k....3k...either way you slice it for a busted one of these, it's crap. Good luck with no sale, because it sure as heck isn't going to be marketable at either price to anyone here. One of these came through Dallas a few years back, price was nowhere near 3k, my kids liked it, but it definitely was a curiosity, not something that anyone would want to own for play in their house, as it would get boring REALLY REALLY FAST.

If you want to spend stupid money on something in this form factor....just buy a Varkon. It's way more fun and is *actually pinball*. 5k for UNTESTED much less working anything less than perfectly, is just..

Can I just say it and eat the ban? Because I really, REALLY want to.

It's also considered a courtesy to not point out when people are getting blatantly RIPPED OFF, as you'll get a ban for "price policing", even when examples, materials cost, and a host of other facts are presented proving that someone's just there to screw schlubs out of money...

As a member of the Pinside Price Police I feel it's my duty to protect those from possibly being scammed.
Different prices on other websites!!! Tisk tisk.
Shameful to specifically try to take advantage of pinsiders on a forum you barely engage in.
I'll just leave this pic here for some thought.

At the very least you could have put some new rubbers on and rebuilt the flippers maybe. Anyhow about some Novis on the playfield.

I'm pretty sure this game is being over-valued by quite a bit.

There is one on ebay right now for $2500 OBO in PA, the seller claims it's in working order, and yet it's been relisted 3 times so far.

ebay.com link: itm

I think most of us know that ebay prices are generally inflated.

I would probably put this game in the $650-$1000 range as it sits. Cosmetically, it's in pretty good shape. However, the board and the monitor are pretty significant part of the game, and a repair or replacement cost could run about $50-$450. Without seeing the insides and/or turning it on, a buyer would be rolling the dice. So, games in unknown states generally go for less.

In full working order, maybe $1200-$1600, depending on condition and if it's been bulletproofed and recapped.

It's no doubt a rare game, but rare doesn't always mean highly desirable. Personally, I think you'll be sitting on it for a while at this price point (and even the $3k price point advertised on KLOV). I've had to take my fair share of losses on incredibly rare games that there wasn't much interest in just because they weren't A-list titles.

Wow! What an ass-hat move. Just realized that. Thought that was a post to show value.

Take a chance
ebay.com link: Video Pinball Machine Arcade Game

also 3 for sale on klov right now. Then you pay half to roll the dice....

That said this example looks pretty good physically in shown pics.

6 buyers also looking on klov OP maybe try that website instead!

Last I heard, if you're going to ask people to believe in a ridiculous idea, then best be prepared for the fallout.

You're completely free to go tell the world that you want to make love to a sentient pizza with three wangs, but don't expect people to not say anything or give you the side eye when they find out about it. Free speech is a double-edged sword. You don't have exclusive access to the cutting side.

Last I checked it's still Buyer/Seller. The only reason it's any different is because you've somehow decided that the people here are dumber. It's one thing to offer a deal to your pals FIRST, but you do that under the table, man. You don't post a public ad for "bottom dollar" price you're going to accept in a public forum, then go to a HIGHLY RELATED but separate forum FIVE DAYS LATER, expect there to be no overlap, and say "Oh, it's different, so bend over and cough up 2k more for a potentially busted game" That's just what we colloquially call a "dick move".

*edit* This guy's mindset makes so much more sense to me now....he's part of a business. http://www.grinkers.com/default.aspx Should've known from the martyr attitude that he was an op or at least involved with one..

To be fair, he posted that very early in the thread. He's not trying to hide being a business, he's just insane.

Friends dont let friends buy overpriced video pinballs that have not been plugged in.....

I’ve played this in Weirs beach. It was boring. I wouldn’t have paid $300 for it.

I make a habit of playing this every year at CAX.

As much as I hate chiming in on a "For Sale" ad, I'll just say that the shelf life of enjoyment on this is minimal.

GLWS!!!!
