Quoted from YKpinballer:

Looks like its going to bring in a good price.

We are nowhere close to its value. Restorations are a bitch! 100's of hours to polish that last screw and you barely get your material cost out of the sale! hit 5 k and life is in balance

Quoted from YKpinballer:

If you think 4k is a steal, you should buy it and flip it :p.

Obviously, you have never done a true restoration. You also have no clue as to where I live in the pinball world.

Quoted from Whridlsoncestood:

Not sweating it at all. Happy to find the TRUE market value for this game. Sky pilot will know exactly where to price his for a quick sale after!

Luckily I'm not in the market to sell my restorations,
I totally enjoyed your restore. I don't know what your hard cost are but I do know the hours spent on labor. Whom ever got this pin got a great deal. I'm happy you are comfortable with the sale. Merry Christmas to all!

Quoted from Pinfidel:

Not all things are about money.

I totally agree money is secondary. I only wish those who don't do the work understand the work. This is why I do my restorations for the love of it. If I had to place a cost on the labor it would be unfathomable to some.
