ColorDMD and topper, what, about $500 alone in cost that normally keeps value. Very good price my friend. Somebody gonna own a Shadow very quick here.

I agree. Kicking myself like I spent too much on a stock game. SOME ONE GETTING A DEAL

This won’t last long.

Are we all looking at the same Sanctum?

Nice deal regardless but i wldnt call the sanctum area well done. .also the mode insert edges are pretty rough. Id still probably purchase it if u were closer tho. Glws

Nearly $4K for a PF in that condition? Sanctum is NOT that nice, mode inserts resembling that of most original TAF mansion inserts, and chipping/damaged arrow insert leading to the Sanctum. What in the world happened to the left outlane???

All the fancy bling (ColorDMD, Topper, Translite, Mirrorblades) wouldn't pry my eyes away from that PF. Woof.

Now, if there was a brand new CPR PF to be installed as part of the deal, that'd be a different story (and price adjustment as a PF swap is a pretty intense effort).

Math doesn’t work out on this - new CPR playfield’s $850, so you’d be valuing his game at ~$2600 once you remove the Color DMD. I agree the Sanctum fix is far from perfect and insert lifting/wear is an issue, but that pricing just isn’t realistic in 2019.

That math is flawed. I'd go $3K with the PF included. Installation is easily a 40 hour job, so that would be a VERY fair deal.

Then again, there is no extra PF, and this game is not worth $3800.

Let's see what the market says.

** Spoiler ** - I own a TS, so I'm not arbitrarily coming in here to shoot him down. That PF is rough for $3800, and fellow owners should not cheerlead nearly $4000 for that level of wear.

Uh-oh. Price police.

Did someone call?

This is a great machine, looks and plays great. Great seller, he really takes great care of his games.

Ok, so if you value the game at $3k with hypothetical $850 playfield included, you value the game as-is, with ColorDMD, at $2150 ($1,800 without ColorDMD). When’s the last time a Shadow went for under $2k, regardless of playfield wear?

The playfield will definitely deter some buyers, but your cost estimates are also way out of whack.

So, some things get left out when up til 0300. Let me try again.

I value a base TS at around $3K. With ColorDMD at about $3350 (it's installed, it's been used, it's not a ColorDMD in a box waiting for me to install - it doesn't automatically retain its full value at $400).

My judgment as I type my retort didn't include all the extras (which to me aren't that big a deal - mirror blades and toppers dont do shit for me unless they're factory - JP, TAF, WH2O, etc.). Aurich's art package is a plus, and of course the ColorDMD - but at $3800? Nope.

The extras don't mean anything when the PF looks crap, and it does. Outlanes have what appear to be scratches in the artwork, Sanctum looks like the ball had a small case of diarrhea, insert art is cracking - especially the modes.

You know what the topper, Aurich's art package and ColorDMD says?

"Please - keep your eyes up here - don't look at all the imperfections where your eyes will be nearly 94% of the time."

All being said, come on market - prove me wrong.

I'm not one to shy away from paying for a nice TS. Cause guess what I bought for about $450 more? This:

Sure, cabinet is dinged up, but that PF sure as hell ain't.

Hahahahahahha. Well played.

No need. That price is fair for what you're selling in that thread. Thanks for the opportunity though.

I'll eagerly sit by with the rest of the Shadow owners and wait. I've bumped this thread enough.

If I end up being wrong, I'll happily admit it.

Carry on, market. Let's see this thing sell at $3800.

Trade plus cash for a MM?

If this was near me I would buy it right now. I could fix that sanctum and inserts to where they wouldn't be noticeable. Anybody suggesting a playfield swap and to be paid for doing it is out of their minds. Yeah, you'll get a shadow this nice for under $2200. That's just plain retard math.

Any chance to taking a trip to Southern California seller?

Yea, the last $1800 (less than $2k) shadow I have seen was 5-6 years ago when Rob up in NY had a beater that had large holes cut out of the cabinet and playfield was a wreck. I have seen some really nice shadows with no mods and no LEDs for $2800 but that was 4 years ago. A nice playing Shadow with loads of mods is going to run $3500 - $4500 all day plus people have woke up to the fact it is a killer game. Mike Chesnuts old Shadow sold for $7500, but is probably the nicest one around unless HEP has done one over the years.
