Where’s the after pictures?

Does that orange fish have insert wear? My buddy is looking for a mint one but needs to be wear free

at least it has a restored price!

Please tell us who the restorer is so that we can avoid them.

So what are you guys seeing that has your panties in a bunch? Just wondering because I'm on my phone and can't see much detail in the pics.

It’s being presented as totally restored and asking a premium price. Here’s a spot that was missed I guess.

Hmmm, I don't see where he says it is in perfect condition. He says it "was" restored. Things could happen after a restore is done I guess. Looks pretty nice to me.

Not a restore imo but a nice shopped out original.

Maybe it was restored to its 2017 condition? Or maybe its had 100,000 plays in the last 6 months?? Just trying to give the benefit of the doubt to this "long time restorer"! On the other hand, i'm aware of a few "long time restorers" that have been doing half-assed, shitty "restores" for a long time.

Finally, Fish Tales getting A-title respect... ha...

I'm guessing restored means new cab decals and art blades. Just looks like a nice Fish Tales otherwise...

Fully restored is very subjective. Some will say if you use that term it had better be HEP level. Others it means fully shopped, boards are bullet-proofed, and any major playfield or cabinet wear is corrected. Until the seller provides details of what he meant its hard to tell from a few pics.

That thing is overpriced by at least 2000 dollars.
How do you even arrive at $4700?!

I guess I am selling mine for 4600.

Not to defend the op’s price...but if you have a FT that is in good shape for $2700...let me know!

Not this again. The old “if ya got one at X price, lmk”

There were two very good FT at Pintastic in 2017, one was mine and sold for $2000, the other sold for $2100. They both sat for awhile too.
$300 decals and a painted coin door doesn’t make it worth $2000 extra, and a year and a half didn’t make the title balloon up 2k either.

It’s the Jurassic Park thing all over again, everyone always says “great price!” On a $3500-4k JP but they never sell for that, not on the east coast realistically anyways. I just had a really nice one on Pinside within 6 months, fully shopped, no issues, nice cabinet, and it sat, and sat, and it barely pulled $2650 after it was all said and done, even though I argued with people in the JP thread to their insistence, that they sell for 3500/4k.

There’s real pricing and then there’s pumpers and wishers.

I actually am somewhat serious about this. It’s hard to find a nice example around me for
less than $3500. I would love to have a chance at FT for 2k or a little over. If you have one, PM me and we can talk.

Machine looks very nice. Getting kind of hard to find a decent FT.

The wear around the inserts hurts the value of this one, but around here it would still fetch 3K+. In fact, I sold one north of that: it had a nicer playfield with no wear, and only very slight fade on the cabinet.

I'm pretty surprised if you have a hard time selling a nice FT for $2000. Maybe if pf had a lot of wear. Hard to find any decent B/W dmd game for that cheap unless it needs work.
