Bought mine for $2200 a while back. Other than being dirty, the playfield is in great shape. Very minor wear on the scoops. Cabinet has a little fade on the left side but other than that is near perfect.

Is anyone going to offer more than my offer of $3500. For god sakes people, this is a for sale thread! Bump for a great local seller!

condition NIB?

congrats on what sounds like a great score. Mine sounds similar to yours. I paid 2500 about 2 years ago for it. When I find the time it will be getting a full restoration including NOS pf that has been restored and cleared.

But he made no mention of selling it with the original pf which is the problem. His add does not say, comes with original populated used playfield.

I'm in at $3,600.

Wow. I never realized there were real diamonds added to this game recently. I sold a perfect condition Congo 4 years ago for $1750, and I made money at that price.

LOL

Some games go up in value, while others go down.

Congo is a fun game and relatively limited in production for the era. Many people have realized it is as fun as some of the other more highly priced games, so the market value has responded.

I think we have seen many of these "entry level" games go up in price a bit in the past few years and that trend has held steady.

Look at this sellers previous pins for sale. Sometimes no prices, no pics, and no closure to ANY of the threads. No "sold", "Sale Pending", "keeping game", nothing. I don't think arguing value with him will do anything and will donate a $5 to pinside if he even bumps.

Im still waiting on picture so that makes sense

Interesting thread. I recently traded a super nice Congo(very little fade, near perfect playfield, several mods) towards a Metallica Premium. The value of the Congo in the trade was about 3K.

$3700 is my final bid and Then I am done.

all wpc95 games have limited runs. Production numbers were very low during that time for all games. Not really low by todays standards, but low if you compare to the hay day early WPC years.

This is why you shouldn't but big money or restore part of a game and ignore the rest. Because you will have a lot of money or time in one part, yet the other part will bring the value down so much. Having a perfect playfield in a sub par cabinet, or having a nice cabinet with a sub par playfield takes you from collector quality pricing, back down into little better than average condition pricing.
