Hey guys, New to the thread here.
So today, I hit a HOME RUN... I found a 2006 Zizzle Pirates of the Caribbean Pinball machine on offer up and the guy took $50 for it. I saw a thread that was about 4 years old where people were mind blown at the resell value of these. These have a very good flip or resell value. They average sell for $250-$400 on ebay ALL DAY LONG... Zizzle only mfg'd these for 2 years. They did two variations of the Pirates pinball, and they also did a marvel avengers which is rarer (ive never seen one in person)...
The first Pirates Zizzle i bought, i opened up, changed the crap buttons to actual pinball buttons, waxed the hell out of the playing field, put custom LED lights into it, custom graphics around the cabinet, on the ramps, the bumpers. Changed the flipper rubber to better rubber, custom sculpted some pieces for decoration, build some cover to go over the back ramps and bought some of the zizzle 3.5" toys, cut them down to size, and apoxy'd them into the machine.. It was a night and day difference in gameplay and fun!!! I ended up flipping that machine for a whopping $900 on ebay plus $75 to ship it!!!
I just picked up another today and will be customizing and keeping it for myself!!! if you guys find these, GRAB THEM!!
Here is the photo of the one i completed below.
