Found local guy with super clean Baywatch.
What's a good price for this pin. I have no idea......
They don't move fast over $1,500. Shame too, it's a good game with a lot going on. Theme kills the price.
Quoted from LesManley:They don't move fast over $1,500. Shame too, it's a good game with a lot going on. Theme kills the price.
What he said...Very similar to WWFRR...
But it's the Hoff....maybe if they could put that drunken video of him eating a cheeseburger into the extra large DMD it would get a bump in value. Lol
Out here CA prices, I'd say value is $1500ish for good condition. Mint condition could be $2k+. Try to get it for less.
The low price can be a problem. I have 15 pins including a nice Baywatch and a friend of mine has one also among his 10 machines. It is far from being either one of our favorite games but neither one of us would sell it because of its low value. It's a good game that's just not worth selling for that little. Which makes it easy to keep a decent pin that you don't really need to hang on to.
Bought one a few weeks ago for $1100. Filthy, but no PF wear, just needed a tear down and full top and bottom shopping. Just got my LEDs, rubbers and a few parts I needed the other day. So looking forward to getting it all put back together this weekend. Fun game with lots to do and so many ramps and wire forms. I love the theme, great cheese. The large DMD has some terrific animations too.
great game, i was told i paid to much, wouldnt sell for twice that amount. glad i own it after almost dismissing cuz of theme. if its really nice under 2gs and your not planning on resale i say you wont be disapointed.
I paid $1100 from Chuck @ CP & then sold it (6-9 mos ago?) for $1100 to a Pinsider.
Great game, miss it a lot.
littlecammi is right, the money it fetches when sold isn't nearly as cool as the game sitting in your basement. I only sold it because my auxiliary pinball room is turning into a dedicated toy room for my daughter so her dollhouses n shit aren't in my game room.
Choices were made lol
Quoted from Perspex:I want one of these after playing it at the Ohio show...love the slow-mo swimming clip of CJ.
I like the end animation of the girl getting corn holed
Someone upload the gif
Thanks guys going to give it a good look tomorrow....not sure what I will do?
It doesn't have a scratch on it..DMD is perfect...no leds.but new lights throuout..new rubber..PF perfect cabinet perfect...no upgraded to flippers but says the are strong with no issues...only 2 miles from house...hmmmmm
What's the asking price? Current ROMs are 4.0. Mine had 3.0 and I paid $15 for the new chips. No idea what the changes are though.
Hate to be a downer but see these sitting on cl forever at 1000 would never pay more than that or ever buy one for that matter save your money just look at it terrible theme just ruins any hope of being cool and the hoff really think about this just an opinion but come on
Themes are certainly personal taste because I wouldn't want a Wizard of Oz themed pin. Hate the movie, hate musicals and theme is way too fruity for me.

Bullcrap. Show me one example of this pin sitting "forever" on CL for $1,000. Show me an example of it sitting anywhere for $1,000 in working condition for more than a day.

I bought one about a year and a couple months ago that had been sitting for $900 on Pinside for a couple weeks. That was when pin prices were even higher, too. Needed a shop job and the cabinet wasn't great, but was fully functional and the playfield is nice.
Really nice shape, cleaned, shopped... $1500, tops. I'd personally go no more than $1200 for it, and I do think it's an awesome game, they are found cheap pretty regularly.
For a Baywatch in very good condition, the 2014 Mr. Pinball guide states a price of $1550.
If it's in great condition, probably $1500 is the highest you should go. Start your negotiations lower though.

Appreciate this....I agree...

Cool. My Baywatch is totally an illusion.
Quoted from Pinphila:I'll take a 1200 bay watch any day.
I want one of the ones sitting around forever for $1,000!
Sold mine last year for$1500. Was a nice machine with full led. Regret selling it. Count me in on the list of guys who will buy one for $1000.

Please tell me that's not an alternate translight for Baywatch.
I'm in the more annoying position of owning a Baywatch. It plays great, has a lot going on, and I personally don't mind the theme. I can agree that they don't usually get sold. They fetch too little dollars and the game is simply worth more to play and enjoy. I'd move mine for the right trade, but I wouldn't sell for $1,000 either.
I like playing Baywatch on location. The fact that you can start a 6player game is pretty unique too. I finally learned not to use the shark flipper it's too risky.
Paid $1550 a year ago, came with an extra new dmd in the deal. Deep rule set & fun video modes. 6 player or 4 player team. No regrets. Go get it!
6 players is unique... but oh boy can it turn into a waiting game. The game is also pretty proud of that feature. The attract mode hypes it fairly heavily.
Bought and sold a really nice one for $1200 a while ago, probably be more like $1500 now. I enjoyed it while I had it, but quickly wanted something else. Squidgirl pops still give me nightmares.
Ha If everyone wants one why don't you call mike on cl New York and a hush falls over the haters who paid to much for there hasslehoffs. Calm down and call mike he will sell this to you prob even less than what he's askin. This theme is just not my kinda game. hoff will always be the nightrider to me now that would be a pin I would pay 1500 for
Hope to have the time to finish the complete tear down and shopping of mine this weekend. Had a bit of time tonight to install some more LEDs and then try to find time to re-install all the plastics, ramps, rubbers and GI LEDs. Very fun pinball and the theme is perfect cheese for us.
we won one on ebay in michigan last year for $800 that had a couple hack issues. still, it was for sale in front of everyone's eyes and it sold for $800. the displays are the issue just like bf, maverick, etc. they cost too much to replace and they constantly reset even after the upgrades to the connectors, etc.
the normal price range for a fully working one in average condition is still in the 1k to 1200 range all day long.
ive seen probably 4 or 5 sell in that range the past year. you cant always go by ebay price summary always bcuz those averages don't reflect when shipping was included or other factors of game condition.
$800 was what I was going to say! Really surprised at the number of people that think they are worth $1500. They are only worth what someone will pay for one. I sell pinballs for a living and if I offered one shopped for $1200 it would sell eventually, but it would likely take a long time. I would have to get $1500 from someone that knew next to nothing about pinball. But....I so understand those that feel it wouldn't be worth selling their own for less than that. A big difference between what something is worth to them and what you can actually get. I have a couple pins I would never sell even if I got full retail, because it is just worth more to me.
