Moving to a new house and mama wants a back patio. Pinball liquidation. I'll rebuild my collection later. Check out my other listings.

Super nice Shadow. Plays great. Playfield and mods which include Pinstadium Lighting, gunmetal powder coat and color DMD, and newly done gun with wood handle. Just those 4 things cost about $2,000 if I recall correctly. Cab has a some dings and scratches which are not in line with how nice the playfield and other things are. Additional photos can be made available if needed.

So, couple thoughts:

First, if you don't like my price, that is fine but there is absolutely NO reason for personal attacks (see this and my Getaway ad). I kindly ask Pinside moderators to eject offenders. Pinside used to be a pretty nice place to hang out. I haven't been around for months because of this kind of stuff.

Second, here are some reasonable comparative Shadows which show that I am, indeed, in the ball park. If we want to discuss pricing as mature, kind and reasonable adults, I am fine with that. If you are unable or unwilling to play nicely, just leave.

https://pinside.com/pinball/market/classifieds/archive/67443 Sold for $3500. Similar playfield. No Aurich translight. No $1500 worth of armor and gun plating. No Pinstadium. My $5000 seems pretty reasonable.

https://pinside.com/pinball/market/classifieds/archive/69125 Sold for $4400. This was a killer deal and whoever bought this really made out great IMO. My pin is similar but not quite as nice with this one being documented HUO and a better sanctum. Is $600 really worth crucifying me over? I didn't look but I can't imagine this pin lasted long in the market at all.

https://pinside.com/pinball/market/classifieds/archive/60460 $3500 sold elsewhere. Nice player's condition pin. Again, mine has the nice armor and Pinstadium which offsets the difference in price.

Anyhow, I sincerely hope y'all have a good day. If the personal attacks continue I will simply ask mods to shut down the thread. I have not personally attacked anyone and don't appreciate receiving attacks. Some good jesting (photos of the surprise face had me chuckling) I'm fine with but name calling ain't gonna happen.

So, I'll chime in here and be as constructive as I can be.

I think, and I'm just guessing, that people are getting frustrated because this is truly a premium price for a game with bling. The base game has to be absolutely solid, which you kindly admitted is not. The cabinet had dings or scuffs as well as Sanctum wear. For this price, people are going to scrutinize this sale, knowing the price was $5500 at first, and this price is still high for a Shadow with bumps and bruises. I'm on my phone going into work, so I didnt look for the cabinet flaws - just taking your word for it. If the base game is not absolutely sound for this price, people are going to get up in arms. That's because...

The used market is starting to get out of control. Step back and look: you are respectfully asking - best of my knowledge - the highest asking price ever for a Shadow. This is more than double for one only a couple years ago. There used to be a saying that mods didnt add any value to a game. Now it had reversed: ColorDMD, PinSound, PinStadium, chromed out everything, shooter knobs, custom this, custom that, one of a kind doll supplied on the playfield, etc - all of it is worth something now. Yeah, owners pour some insane money into some pins, and they need to be understanding that the vast majority of the market is not going to feel as warm and fuzzy.

Personally, ColorDMD is the only real mod I look for. Everything else m, I dont care. I'll admit, that gunhandle is nice and there seems to be a new fad with Shadow and re doing the gun. This is the third one I've seen since August to have it re done.

I think, quite frankly, some people are starting to feel priced out of the hobby, and you may be feeling some of their frustration. Doesnt make it right; I am speaking from an objective and neutral position on this particular situation. Back in 2013, if someone told me we'd be seeing $5000+ Shadows in 5 years, I'd wonder how Mars was and how long they lived there.

My thoughts, which are worth 2 wooden nickels in the grand scheme of things.

I often wonder if the seller paid too much for the machine and then is trying to "pass it along" to the next sucker, I mean potential buyer, or are they trying to be like the pickers that try to double their money?

Good points. A Shadow without sanctum wear and with chrome platted ramps or diverters with color DMD...maybe north of 4k.

Asking the mods to eject the price police - kindly or not - is a little much, even by butthurt Pinsider standards, as there's absolutely ZERO precedent or justification for that here. You can't ask thousands of dollars beyond the going rate, while claiming you are "liquidating" to keep your wife happy, and not expect some blowback.

Can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. We all know what we are getting into when we post a FS ad here. Enjoy the free bumps and attention and bitch back if you like, and move on with your life.

I think there is combination of things going on that make people vocal about this listing. I suspect many folks are holding back on comments. As stated above the base condition of the game, i.e. cabinet, playfield, sanctum are not in a condition to get people excited about a premium price. The post started off at $5,500 with a single not so great picture that made it difficult to determine what type of condition this pin was in. People get excited to see a premium example of any pin. When they find out that pin is not in a condition that matches the asking price, there are bound to be some comments. If you post your marketplace ad to the forum, anything can happen with the comments so you have to anticipate this. If you have been around on pinside 5 years it should be pretty apparent how this was going to play out. On the flipside, if you ask a reasonable price for the condition of the pin, the comments can also work in your favor and make for a quick sale. This pin, priced in the mid to low fours with good pictures from the start would have had a totally different reaction and would have most likely had offers quickly and probably sold in a week or less. Some may argue that this is only worth mid to high threes as they don't want to pay anything for mods. As stated by others the DMD will easily get you some value, but the other mods are going to need a rare person to pay full price for them. Not saying they are not worth extra value, simply that it will be rather difficult to extract that value in the present market.

One of the things I appreciate most about this site is the feedback given from people on ads. It is a very valuable tool for buyers. I will rarely take any ad seriously if the seller hasn't enabled the discussion forum on the ad.

I would recommend taking the Color DMD and Pinstadium out of your listing price and list them as optional add ons (w/ prices for each of course). This assumes you could put the original DMD back in.

On another note, Shadow is BY FAR the least valuable game I own in a collection of around 15 and it remains my favorite game.

Don't mind price police at all. Just no personal attacks. I was simply trying to be cute about the renovations. Yes, we are going to do some renovations but those will happen with or without selling pins. Besides this and Getaway, the other 6 pins I put on the market are at or below the Pinside "suggest a price" amount.

I think you are very correct. The first price wasn't up for maybe 30 minutes. My mistake and adjusted it pretty quickly. Obviously, this has not been adjusted enough. I thank you for your very thoughtful reply. I am not trying to scam anyone. I am being very straightforward and if market doesn't hold this price, so be it. Honestly, it has been months since I've played pinball or been on Pinside so have not been in touch with some pricing or what has been going on as much as I used to.

Probably very true. Mid $4's would have been a better starting price. Didn't mean to ruffle so many feathers.

Wife would never tell me to do that. This is a voluntary and non-permanent reduction in my collection. Didn't even list my TWD and probably will keep the couple other pins based on what doesn't sell. Pins don't get played much any more. Not like they used to and all I was thinking was freeing up some cash and doing something whole family will enjoy. Gonna do that anyhow. It is all about fun family time and most of our fun family times are playing outside or watching movies in the theater. Very little family pinball.
