I don't care if Jenna Jameson, 6 bottles of liquor, and a time machine back to her prime are inside the cabinet, a NIB FH is worth maybe $5-6k to this guy. To each their own, but ummmmm... glws.

OP mentioned that the pictures spoke for themselves. I talked with the pictures a little bit, there were a lot of them, and they all had their own opinions, but they all agreed that there's no way this thing sells for $9000.

Pretty game. You don't have to like the price but there's not a lot I can see that I could complain about on the restore. It would likely cost more then 9K to send one off for a restoration of this level by the time everything is done.

Looks a hell of a lot better then a SWLE for roughly the same price

I have to agree. I'm not spending close to that amount for a Funhouse myself, but I don't necessary think the asking price is wrong. A base Funhouse is not cheap, nor is a restoration of this level.

I think there are better ways to spend 9k in pinball, but if you want a really nice Funhouse, you would probably have a tough time finding one like this for less.

That was my thought too. It's an inexcusable amount of money to ask for "a well-restored FH" but this is a work of art right here. I'd feel guilty playing it.

His age would reflect why he doesnt know how to price pins then.
Wow, 21, so much experience.
And...you have a stake in this sale?
You also have no clue to my experience.
Also to edit myself before i affend a stranger.
More power to op if he gets sale.
I just dont feel any Funhouse, despite cherry restore, is worth more than say..6k.
Im not questioning a ton a work and money went into this pin.
Lastly, why wouldnt you list all those pins you've moved and worked on in your collection? I got tired of doing it, but if this what you do, then list in previous, it helps build trust and shows you have moved a few.

I think somebody with deep pockets whos looking for a collector quality funhouse might pay the price, but it will take the right buyer. If OP can hold out for somebody like that to come along, then more power to him. The game is absolutely stunning! I love FH but not that much.

Oh...that's only an issue long term. I *try* to photograph restorations in the sunlight because it's tougher to cheat and hide flaws. That's actually one big reason I respect this restoration so much. But yeah...once you've snapped the shots, you want to get 'er indoors.

First, I'd like to offer an apology to ericpinballfan for calling him an idiot. I was in a mood this AM and I apologize.

So to respond to your points, he's 21 but has been doing shop jobs and restorations since he was 13. So 8 years. We both work at thepinballcompany.com and it would be impossible to list everything we work on. Usually 2-4 game a week depending on what they need. I'd say roughly 150 a year each and about 4-5 high ends a year - **notice the lower case letters to not spur a 4 page discussion if I'm insinuating we're HEP].
The amount of work to do a restoration the correct way, takes a lot of money in parts and a vast amount of time. Sure a funhouse can be had for $3k-$4k fairly easily. Most of those are players games. If that's what a person wants - go for it.
This game is for people who want pristine machines in their lineup. It can sit until we find the right buyer. Christmas is coming up - we'll see what happens.

You people are rediculous. It's is a simple for sale post. It's a high level restored Funhouse, it's not going to be cheap. If you don't like the price then don't buy it. Or better yet price out getting one done with other restorers that do high level restores and find out for yourself what a fair price is. This is a fresh just finished great looking restore.

Apology accepted , no worries.
I was a little taken back but also have to remember it is pinside and the internet.
What we write doesnt always have the emotional inflection and facial subtleties of every day speech.
I to apologize for bagging on our young pro learning the craft. Good for him and glad hes doing it.
Enough said, other than i wish he was closer so i could put him to work.
Wish both of you good luck, and maybe this will sell.
No more price police on any thread for me. Im done, lesson learned.

There's almost always no point in creating a forum thread for this kind of sale. Just list it in the market and the people with Funhomes on their wishlist will get an alert that there's one for sale. That way you only target serious buyers.

Honestly, if a price is higher than what might be expected, there's nothing wrong with asking the buyer, in a respectful and constructive way, why that might be the case. We got to that point eventually and some good chatter came out of it. But that's just my ten cents.

It's the sellers choice to turn it into a forum, and the default is to not turn it into a forum.
