JD, JM and DM....all great and all can be found around that price range( I have JD and JM and I won't be selling them anytime soon)...but I'm surprised no one mentioned it yet...play them first before you buy..I happen to not like JP, Freddie, Dr. who, No Fear, POTO's play/flow but a lot of other people do so you have to see which one is good fit you..
Quoted from Dommer:anyone know if Whirlwind or earthshaker are still in this price range? been thinking about getting one or the other since the price of TFTC has gone up with its availability going down correspondingly.
I picked up an ES for $1100 about a month ago. It's by no means perfect, but it plays and the shaker works great!
Quoted from Dommer:if Whirlwind or earthshaker are still in this price range?
Most $1500 whirlwinds are planking badly and needing playfields. I think 1800-2200 is more realistic nowadays for that title.
WCS is awesome.
I have been trying to sell a super nice Rollergames looking for $1200 for it no shipping. Akron Ohio
Quoted from PinballHelp:Don't forget about Who?Dunnit. That game is a great deal in the $1500 range if you can find it.
+1 and its a surprisingly fun game. I'd hate to have to shop one out with that slot machine deal under the pf.
Maybe I'm not looking in the right places but I think the majority of those best-bang for the buck pins listed on pinside needs to be updated. It seems as though the 1500 pins climbed 300-500 per game at roughly 1800-2k...And noticed the 1200 pins are also starting to become the new 1500 range. Below is a list when I went to "Pinfest" in Allentown PA:
These are all prices from pinfest when I went in April (These were the bellow 1500 mark) Again most were unshopped or players games not many collector pieces in the price range although they had some great stuff at the show but way to pricey for me at least. :
Rollergames - 1400
Dirty Harry - 1495
No Fear - 1400
NBA Fast Break - 1495
Mario Andretti -1195
Simpsons - 1200
The Getaway - 1100
Black Hole -950
Hot tip - 750
Strikes and Spares - 750
Rack em' Up - 750
Ready Aim Fire - 550
Strange Science - 1400
Spanish Eyes - 475
Monday Night Football - 895
Eightball Champ - 895
Jungle Lord - 700
Black Sheep Squadron - 400
Hot Line - 600
Time Warp - 750
Demolition Man - 1200
Quoted from Snowdale:I bought one for 1200 shopped and 100% playable 2 years ago.
LOL! Yeah....2 YEARS ago.
Quoted from Sarge:With prices climbing the way they have lately, I was wondering what your guys favorite bargain pins are?
So whats your favorite $1500 pin?
Ive been looking alot at FishTales lately, but not sure if that meets the price cap
There's a such thing as a $1500 pin?
Quoted from kwiKimart:Cyclone would be another pick.
I just picked up a cherry cyclone for 1200. Everything original. Everything perfect. Only "problem" is a bit of ball swirl on the Mylar and tiny wear spots where the balls drop on the inlanes.
You should definitely search around for a system 11. These games are built like tanks and a ton of fun.
