Pinheads, found a really clean NBAFB on CL for $1500.00 The PF, cabinet, and BB are all in great condition. It plays really nice besides a few lamps burnt out and the rubber on the right flipper coming off. I would think the rubber on the flipper is just old and needs to be replaced so they "stick" to the flipper better. Other than those issues, the machine looks great. Id like to hear from those of you who have or have had this machine. Is it worth the $1500, is it a machine that has good playability and fun factor besides the price?? Thanks in advance!!

I just sold one a few months ago. Sat a LONG time. Finally sold it for $1,250 and it was very clean and in very nice shape. The guy who bought it wasn't thrilled about the price either

BUY IT NOW! Yeah, there's one on here for $1900ish, and that's considered a bargain for the game in good shape. I would've picked that one up if it were closer, frankly.

Not where the OP lives. If $1,900 is a bargain, and the seller wants $1,500, the game would have been sold already.

The one that was on here ended up being traded plus cash for a Road Show, apparently. It was posted for $1950 and was gone within a couple days. That was in St Louis, I think.

I'd gladly grab the game for $1500, but maybe the market is way lower near the OP.

Condition is everything. There is more to the game than top of playfield cleanliness. How is it underneath? Look for the common WPC-95 circuit board heat and GI connector issues.
That left ramp is always cracked. Right now you can't get a replacement but Little Shop of Games is supposed to do a repro in a few months. It will cost you over $100 I am betting.
Good news is the plastics rarely seem to break. Make sure the wire forms aren't broken. The backglass tub isn't cracked (expensive) and the ball guides broken (can get these at Pinbits). The defender plastic breaks alot (can get one from Australia) and Pinbits sells a protector for it.
Does it have the topper? They are hard to find.
I think it is a fun game but not as your only pin. Not sure on longevity as I have only owned mine for a month. I loved it on route.

I've sealed the deal on a nice version with a really nice PF and good cab for 2K.

In 3 years, the difference between 1.5k and 1.9k won't mean anything, anyway.

Where have you been? Any nice, clean working WPC 90's pin is a bargain for $1500 or less...

Yes, and get another so you can link the 2 together. I missed one 6 months ago for 1400 in decent shape and I'm still kicking myself

Yuriijos,

Go. Go get it. Go now. It's OK, we'll still be here when you get back. We're patient.

Good. You've got the game now, yes?

Now that you have such a fun and unique game, I can tell you that you won't be disappointed. I've had mine for about a year now, and still enjoy the heck out of it. I can get to wizard mode pretty consistently, but that doesn't take away from the fact that there's still something eminently satisfying about simply shooting hoops with a pinball.

Mine isn't going anywhere, and besides, my 11 year old son would be devastated if it evr left. NBAFB is his favorite.

Later,
EV

It's worth trying out. I picked up a HUO one on CL last year for $1800 (which I thought was somewhat of a steal). It was nice but a little dirty and neglected. Shopped it out and it came out real nice.

I am a huge NBA fan and I am sorry the game is just a bit stale. There's a reason they are so cheap and a reason they are considered a "parts machine". Chances are you too will realize this after playing for awhile. I ended up selling it pretty quick as it had no legs in my small collection.
