Wow, since when did these become 1750? I sold one a year ago for $1100 and that was tough and mine was damn nice. I mean, at least ad some more pics.

Sure did. Had an intact, not a broken topper or rusty legs either. Good luck.

Nope.

Dude if you were in AZ I would have bought this in a sec

Can you snap a pic of the "considerable gouge" on the left side and the rusty legs perhaps?

Wowzer's. It's a great game, but I let a HUO one go for 1600 bucks, since I figured I didn't need a perfect one, and at the time (LAST WINTER) they were going for 800-1000 in reasonable shape.

Looks like someone missed the boat.

$1750 seems High in my opinion and I would need to see the severity of "the bad". Left side cabinet pick ...

That's right, you have been a member here for a year and you have two great games in your collection. yes, you clearly know values. I apologize.

Nope. See I paid $750 bucks for it. I didn't get screwed at all.

Good luck

in defense of the OP, most I see in that range do not have a card dispenser/catcher or topper. I am not sure what is the value of those items, but games seem to have lost them throughout time. Are there replacement toppers or dispensers to be found?

Mine had both. I traded a DE Batman to get it a year and a half ago.

I would say its a good starting point price. Toppers and full card dispenser/catcher are very hard to come by these days. if it was redecalled with new buttons and overlay, then its easily a $2000 fully restored game.

PPS claimed to be making new toppers, but that was over a year ago and we all know how full of it Rick can be regarding everything being remade but nothing ever showing up.

The game sells for 1-2k. Just depends on the time of year, who is buying it and how bad they want it. I wouldn't be surprised if this doesn't sell for close to his asking price. Gotta love when people from all over the country attempt to tell sellers how much something is worth or how much they sold something for. What relevance does that have on someone else's game and in a location across the country? Chicago is a good market, demand is high here, somehow after we all pay our state income tax, sales tax and property tax, we have money to spend on toys like this. Our prices are generally higher than the average, so again let the guy sell his game, it's priced with in the market he is selling the game in and it has zero effect on you if your not looking to purchase one or are not in the area. Mind your own business and move along.

This is a discussion forum, sorry if you don't like the discussion. There are options available to avoid it.

Bump.

Yep. There's a button for that when you make the ad.

Next time yall are selling a sub 1k slugfest,HIT ME UP

No idea on the value of this pin, but if you are open to offers you may not want to have "Price is Firm" checked. When I see that on an ad I wouldn't consider it negotiable and wouldn't really think of making an offer on it.

No pics of the button area? That overlay plastic is usually jacked up on these games.

I dont think it is actually a plastic?

Pretty sure it is just a regular vinyl overlay sticker think that is directly on the wood?

And if anyone is ever looking for a bleacher plastic, Darin makes one:

I love this game because of the nostalgia factor and the great representation of our country's beloved family past time. In my opinion, best Pitch and Bat made. Our Slugfest will never leave the game room collection. Market for this game, price wise, is all over the place. I have seen Puchase prices from $500-2000. Market region, availability, condition, buyer budget, all play heavily in the price.

I just sold two in the past few months for $1000 and $1100. Both in decent condition, 100% working with working card dispensers. That seems to be what they go for around here.

Sounds like the price of these has gone up even more since then.

I overpaid for one a couple of years ago because it was the only one in the area. I found an NOS topper a year ago and paid a pretty penny for it.

Slugfest has some future potential. It is not much fun as a one person game, but it is probably one of the best two player games you can have in a collection. It is the apex pitch and bat game with curve balls, steals, pinch hitters, etc. making it a pretty good strategy game. You can also customize it with your favorite major league teams (mine is Tigers vs. Yankees) and add your own cards in the back box.

You can check out my collection. For the past year, the two most popular games with my kids and their friends are Slugfest and Midway Sea Raider. Kids just flock to these two games and could care less about AC/DC, WOZ, HH, etc.

Is there a strategy to playing slugfest?

dang! why not meeeeee!! lol

Make sure your opponent is drunker than you are. And always steal bases.

Yup. And always go change up, fastball, fastball for an almost guaranteed strike out.

You should be marketing this on ebay and your area craigslist, if you are not already.

I have to assume that is your main market for something like this and especially at this time of year.

Just saw one sell for 900 canadian. Who would pay 1650 usd just not enough game there for that type of money.
