looks similar condition to this one

I personally think it really depends on your location and how much fade. Based the limited info you have provided 1500-2000 is the range.

To satisfy the lowballers/wanna be buyers, I will say $100. To satisfy the owners, I will say $2K. In all seriousness, though.... I wouldn't go above $1K based on your description. Mostly due to "not enough info" as opposed to red flags. Your description leads me to believe you are new to the hobby. is that correct?

an average fish tales in 100% working shape is $1700-2200. just an estimate.

Almost impossible to price a machine with these photos alone. Can you link the video?

Want to trade that Whirlwind? I am in PA

fully working, that pf with insert chips, and that cab with what appears to be typical but avg fade >> 1700
is fine.

keep in mind it is going to need a good tear down and cleaning along with flipper rebuilds and 1799 assumes no broken plastics or board issues.

At least one slingshot plastic is broken

slings are easy to find. Other ones, not as easy...

I picked up my first one with a nicer playfield and slightly less fade fully shopped and LED'd for around $2200 and probably overpaid. I picked up the one I currently have with a slightly less nice playfield and substantially less fade, shopped a while ago and missing one plastic, for $1700. One local to me just sold around $1700 with more fade and in desperate need of a shop job.

For the one you're looking at, I'd say $1600-1800. Maybe on the high end of that, since California pinball prices always seem to be a couple hundred bucks higher.

I've seen this fish Tales on Ebay before. I recognize the pictures and the cabinet fade. Actually, I believe I've even seen the seller list this last year with no success.

I'd not go more than $1500 to be honest. You will need to put $500 alone just to get the machine up to par. Take this from a guy who owns a nice example of a Fish Tales .

2000 easy

This is the Fish Tales that was on the Los Angeles CL for $1200. This morning, the seller raised the price to $2200. Then the post was promptly flagged and removed.

This is a project game. It looks completely filthy. How could someone list this and take pictures up close with all that dirt still on the playfield?

Project games don't go more than $1500. If the playfield was nice with cabinet fade, then I'd say $2000 is alright but the machine needs to work fully.

I'd pass if I were you. If the seller really wants to sell this machine, he needs to either 1). Lower the price, or 2). Fix up the pin by himself before putting it on the market.

PAPA declares Fish Tales the hardest multi ball in pinball = 10K by Christmas.
