Quoted from bigehrl:

none of you guys would ever have the balls to say this stuff to his face, and you all know it! if you were at his house and he was showing you the game in person, you'd think to yourself, "that's insane to ask 5-figures for a Gilligan's Island", while nodding and complimenting him on his work. but, put you behind your keyboards, and everyone is an outspoken critic.
so what if he overvalues a game that most of you find to be inferior? who cares that much? oh, wait... don't answer that, i can just go down the list of posts in the thread and make my own list of who cares that much.

I would say it to his face. “Homie - you should not ask $10,000 for this - it’s fahcking crazy.”

I don’t care how good any restoration could be - this game isn’t worth a 5 figure sum unless it belonged to a cast member on the show, is signed by all of them, and even then it’s a stretch.

IT DOESNT EVEN HAVE POWDERCOATED RAILS OR LEGS

Quoted from epthegeek:

Yes. That's what makes his price unreasonable. You've nailed it.

It’s not a high dollar restoration until those are in place. Which would place this game at $4,500.

Quoted from TheLaw:

You think to restore a W/B game you need to powdercoat the legs?

To have the nads to ask double the price of the game - you better have spent the $125 and powdercoated them legs.

To ask quadruple the price of the game, you better look in a mirror and or take meds.

Quoted from TheLaw:

That's not a restoration and doesn't really make sense.

No, not part of a restoration - it’s a “mod” but so are colored LEDs.

Quoted from Dave_rautio:

Let me do the math
Play field $1200 , clear coat 300, hd glass 270, topper 200, decal set 300, coin door 200, color dmd 380, side graphics 75, led lights 250, shooter rod 100, rails 100, lock down bar and assembly 250 , motor 80 , plastic set 400, legs bolts corners 125 , play field swap 1000, price of the original machine 3200

I say this with seriousness, and am genuinely intrigued, what inspired you take on this project?

Quoted from Dave_rautio:

It was my very first game and my favorite for all my 21 years collecting machines

May I ask why you’re selling it then?

Quoted from Poorman:

Well said!
For example I love the Arcade game Outrun... I restored one from the ground up using a couple of parts machines... The game is only worth $500... however I have close to $1000 into it. I will never see that money again... but it was a passion project for sure. My advice again is enjoy the hell out of that machine until you can't stand looking at it and then put it up for sale for what you can stand to lose.

I understand this completely. I’m in my Striker Xtreme for around $2,200, knowing the game is only worth about $1,700. Doesn’t meant I would ever ask $2,200, or more than that.

I honestly feel bad for the seller in this situation.

Quoted from Atari_Daze:

In 2029 maybe?

One can hope.

It’s a keeper anyways.

Like this GI should be for the game’s biggest fan.
