That price is obscene. I just bought and sold one without wrinkled decals and a broken plastic, no fade, 100% working for $2100

Sounds like you were very eager to dump it, at that price. A run-of-the-mill faded/player's JM should command $2100. Unfaded JMs in pristine shape are rare and rightfully command a reasonable premium. This one, on the other hand, though blinged out, is far from pristine, and nowhere near a collector's game. In my mind, a true collector's JM with a color DMD, mirror bladed out, *might* approach these kinds of dollars. Of course, you pretty much have to sell at that price to either a newb with cash to burn or a full fledged collector who only buys collector's games.

"Probably"

You think you could have looked to see if the boards had any hacks whilst restoring it

For those of us who remember:

SHAZAMMMMMMMMM !!!

Not at all. I paid a fair price, had my fun, and sold it for the same.

He means that you put fully restored for the game. But if it Was fully restored the boards should have been removed and inspected im assuming.
Plus fully restored wouldnt have a cracked plastic or cab wrinkles

No, but we wouldn't see them on the front, just the back. Which is why it's strange the description says "no known hacks."

Game was probably worth more than you got, but never any harm in having fun and moving a game for what you paid. That's what I did with my T2.

Lol.....I laughed until I cried......Love these threads!

Understood. Just offering the advices you should probably take 5 minutes and pull the boards so you can see if there are any hacks, since it's such a common question.

I think we should all listen to this guy....why you gotta be so mean pinside....geesshh.............Joey

Nice pin! Some people have nothing better to do than offer up pricing "opinions" on any for sale thread. There are other routes to sell a pin that are a lot more positive in my experience. This is not your average JM and the OP has every right asking whatever the hell he wants for it. Price police offer up no positive contributions once again.

Nice JM. Looks familiar

Double cheese - Anchovies?

I saw the thread was "on fire" so stumbled into the read. ZERO interest in ever owning a JM, but get a feeling this will end up being a tangential thread or one of "pin price police" VS others.

I will only comment making this note:

I AM NOT A BIG FAN OF ME OR ANYONE MAKING THE STATEMENT: "Probley (probably) the best one out there". mmmmmmmmmmmmmm that statement just begs folks to hammer at ya!

Maybe just go with super nice, very clean, awesome condition, yada etc yada etc. You get my drift.

just my 2 cents

I recently picked up the JM Whitewood with this same cabinet art & full chrome package. It sure does look amazing around the cabinet. I have it sitting right next to my all stock JM

Nice looking game!! Looks like the cab decals were replaced. I like those better than the originals.

Who ARE all these people?

My mother taught me if I had nothing nice to say to say nothing.....

I assume this is $3750 OBRO? If it is then Collin who sold his stock one for 2100 is in the same neighborhood. This game has over a 1200 bucks worth of chrome and mods on it. Also this has the alternate cab decals, there is no Reeves's face is not on the cab.

I think it is possible, for someone to pay close to his asking price on this machine.

Everyone here is wrong. Thats the 'I dont want to sell it price.'

It looks really nice to me.

Different =/= better. It's got a couple hundred bucks worth of chrome, if that's your preference, but serious collectors want a nice original over aftermarket decals. The guy who bought mine could easily have the side rails, lockdown bar, and coin door chromed and still be WELL under $3k, and it would be far nicer than this.

This is like a 1998 Honda Civic DX with a chrome exhaust and chrome accents on the trim, tribal decals on the side, and an AEM intake, but with nothing that makes it functionally better than average. And he's asking Mustang money for it. Oh, and the Smurf Puke LEDs aren't a plus.

The fact that this post has a dozen thumbs up and no thumbs down says EVERYTHING.

Much like The Shadow, I'd personally pay more not to have that douchebag's face on it.

Fix the ramp, then relist it.

... For $2250 OBO
Agreed!

Well look at it this way...a blinged out Tron can sell for 10K. JM > Tron. This is a smoking deal! <FLAME SUIT ON>

I agree, I was about to shazam you but when I saw the game I knew someone had spent a lot of money blinging it out....as far as Collin's comment about the blue leds (which look awesome by the way) he just made your case for you.

Bump it for the sweet JM'simage_(resized).jpg

Did I say perfect? I looked at the quote you pulled, and I don't see the word "perfect" in there anywhere. I said that with the original cabinet, which again is what serious collectors look for, is better than your overpriced game. Oh, and it was 56% of what you're asking. And the board were clean enough that you could eat off the back sides of them. And the buyer got a new ramp AND full set of ramp decals, and the game was fully working when he bought it. The buyer is happy, and the game has been error-free in the months since I sold it. Oh, and I sold it for 56% of your asking price. Again, that was A NICER GAME THAT I SOLD FOR LITERALLY 56% OF YOUR ASKING PRICE. Quit trying to dig for dirt on a game that sold for 56% of your asking price; you ain't gonna find it.

tl;dr: The game I sold was a FAR better deal than this, because I don't seek to rip people off.

You lost me at "Probley"

Does the person want to sell it? I love JM and am a buyer for a mint one under 2600

Tell that to my girlfriend......

Another price buster thread? <yawn>

I don't think so. He seems to be playing the daylights out of it. If you're patient, though, you should be able to find a very nice one in that range. I found my old one on here, and I think the seller was asking 2500ish. Good luck!

yeah but this is one of those times where a game is so overpriced it does not even need the price policing. When a game is 150% + over typical market there is no need to even give it the bumps. Seller is so unlikely to get this price on pinside that they either let it sit forever or eventually wake up and change the price.

My best advice to seller would be to fix some of the issues if you are trying to market this as a high end game and then also put it on ebay where you may find a buyer that is willingto pay for chrome and a topper.

just wanted to say that you always have the option of placing an ad in the market without also adding the forum discussion.

I dont think anyone is claiming you are a bad guy. Many think you are asking top dollar for a game with a cracked ramp and some other issues. Your game has a tone of high dollar bling. Reality is that if you want to get back the dollars of your bling then you likely have a very small population that is looking for this game. That said, Pinside is probably low on your likely list of places to find a buyer. You will have better chances of selling on ebay.

Isnt there a way to avoid having a thread associated with a marketplace ad?? If so, i would choose that option..someone will buy this...

I think people are being too hard on OP. This is a super expensive JM, and it has way too much money put into mods for 99% of buyers, but there's a $4000 Road Show with 4 crappy pictures we could be crapping all over instead.

I was just about to say the same thing. It just seems like creating a thread for a marketplace ad has a 75% chance of going downhill one way or another. I've sold more than a couple of games here without creating any threads. If the game is on a wishlist, then that person used to get an alert to the sale. That way you get attention from people who are actually interested in a pin without the mob scene.

Don't complain about the "price police" if you decide to put up a billboard on the side of the highway.
