Hey Everyone,

Getting ready to put my AFM up for sale. What is a fair price to ask?

This is a sample game, and is home use only.

Pictures here:

http://caylegeorge.com/pinball/sample_afm/

Game is very mint, plays great, no SOL wear, unfaded as best as I can tell - (camera seems to have washed out some of the colors in the pictures).
Best original AFM I have seen.

Special things to note about this AFM:
Proto/sample mothership saucer with a clear (instead of production green) dome. Only one I have ever seen, anywhere.
Sample game insert - the Rule the Universe insert is orange, instead of the production blue.

The first owner of this game was Lyman Sheats jr, programmer of AFM.

Thank for your help,

-cAyle

I'd suggest putting it up on eBay with a no reserve auction. That seems to be where the big bucks are secured for AFMs. Sounds like a nice machine. Good luck to you.

That is actually a very reasonable question.

value inestimable, to be honest.

I wouldn't mind having one, with a VRPA discount it should be 6000CAN, I'll even give you some playing tips since I know you're a bit of a rookie haha

Wow that's a beauty. Like davewth says...inestimable. Great shape and interesting history behind it. Too bad for the most of us..this one top dollar.

Wow, it would be hard to come up with an estimate for such a unique game. An auction would be the best place to judge the value of that, which would no doubt be high.

#10 11 years ago

11k sounds right.

#11 11 years ago

Talk about a mint original.

Good luck.

whatever guys, this game is worth 15k if it's worth a nickel.

Lyman's sample AFM, HUO, owned by Cayle George? Awesome sauce

Is this an old school saying? Rawley used to walk uphill 10miles to school both ways in a 20ft blizzard

that was funny! yeah i've heard grandpas say it before , havent' you? LOL.

I was actually going to say "if it's worth 1$".. doesn't quite have that sage-like ring to it.
