Great looking game

SO tempting!! Pin looks amazing!!!

Are they all sold out already? Typically the case.

Looks like the standby list is all you can get on now.

Zach is straight up about his machines guys, have no fear when buying from him.

Even if he IS a beer lightweight, he's still a good, honest, fair guy.

Honestly I think its the sanctum wear that is keeping this from selling, maybe it looks better in person but the pic of the sanctum area looks awful. Someone did a poor touch up..the grey doesnt match
EDIT: not trying to be an ass or price police, just an observation...

That's not a touch up, it's a decal with mylar over it.

Ok, but the end result is the same. Overall the game looks great, I really miss mine. The game is so well balanced with great flow and modes...and one of the best mini playfields in pinball...

It is for me, otherwise I would have been all over this...

Same here. I want a Shadow after a local deal fell through a few months back.

If you were to remove the decal, is there just run-of-the-mill burn on the playfield or is there a hole? Thanks.

A playfield replacement and it would be a premium machine. Everything else can be great, but if that sanctum area is bad, it will drag the whole thing down. The Sanctum is what's holding this one back.

I'd say that is a risky decision as if it's all chewed to hell it will harm the sale even more. If it's just a little wear spot like most of them it might help you though.

Leave it as is. It will sell.

I'd honestly leave it alone, you just have to find the right price to get someone interested.

Dont remove it, too much risk if its really chewed up underneath. The price needs to reflect the playfield though...

Probably sound advise but I still think I would pull it. TS doesn't get magnet burn like TAF, it's just were it catches the ball and skids it to the lock that creates the wear. If the rest of the playfield is nice there's a really good chance the sanctum area is not that bad. Pull it, have a local artist come touch it up, add some mylar, and you have a much better chance of moving it at $4300. Or leave it, drop the price to 4K and get it out the door.

Probably correct...I bought some of these decals when I had my shadow, they are about the size of a quarter and match the playfield perfectly and cover the smudge mark on most shadows. It wont work if there is a divot, but if there is a small mark it covers it. My shadow didnt have any sanctum wear but I put one of these decals on to protect it...it looks better than the off grey decal

Hmmm seems like a good idea

It's a nice shadow, just think it's priced a bit high for what these go for.

I have to agree... price is what's holding the sale back. Sanctum wear is pretty typical. The market is the market... and there's a lot of high dollar NIB options right now. GLWS

Everything reasonably priced sells.
I had a handful of people policing the price on my Congo. It sold for full price. It sold because it’s a very nice game. Just like this one. Clean, well done games sell. Period.

lets not start thinking this game sold for 4300. Not going to say what it did sell for but shadows are not 4300 and this one doesn't change that. People can price police all they want if the game is a ridiculous price. Suggestion is to not have a forum post if you don't want to hear it.

I have seen a shadow near me that is worth well over 4300. Not the norm but they do exist and once CPR releases the playfield and nice restorations start popping up the price is going to go up.

Of course, anyone owning a Shadow wants to think that the price of this title is on the cusp of skyrocketing. It has been a $2,500 game for a long time. Let's not get crazy and jettison it into the $4K range.

I will take all the nice shadows you can round up for $2500 each.

Condition determines the price and many are certainly worth $4300 and have sold for a lot more then that. Keep living in your cave were 90's B/W games are not increasing in price.

A good condition TS has not sold for $2500 in forever. It's like some of you believe if you say prices have not increased that it will actually be true.

There is price police and then just delusional people, in what year and alternate reality did Shadows go for $2500?

gentry - take a deep breath and try to understand what I'm saying.... who says B/W games are NOT jumping price? Of course they are! Shadow is no TZ and it's not a 4k game. Sorry. If your point is that a completely restored Shadow could go for 4k, I would say I agree. I'll imagine that was your point. Thanks

Did I say $2.5k?

I meant $1.5...

The point is: TS is not a $4k game.

Nope, my point is that 2 years ago a really nice clean non restored TS was $3200-$3500 with a few mods. Prices have went up since then and the vast majority of nice ones now have a colordmd in them. Guess what that makes them cost now? The same logic would say that TZ is still a 5k game. I wish that was the case, I really do as I hate paying what 25 year old games cost now. They are still good values compared to nib games though.

In your mind or in the market? A really nice clean one with minimal sanctum wear would sell for 4k no problem. We're are these 2.5k and 1.5k TS at? If you are right then I shouldnt have an issue finding one. Or are you talking about a beater that needs work and a full shop out? Because that's the only way one is going that low.

I don't even think you could get a beater for that price.

funny, I have seen multiple TS sell for 4k or more...
Route, dirty, and players are over 3k and have been for a while.

I've been looking at TS to buy over a few months (can't decide b/w that and some others but it's made me check their final sales pricing) and they don't sell for 4k (at least on pinside - maybe some random ebay auction or CL posts) - I'm talking what they REALLY sell for on the avg is 3600 and that's WITH color DMD. I'm sure there are the suckers out there spending 4300 on TS - no doubt but if you're an educated buyer, you're not spending 4300 on a shadow unless it's pristine.

There is a really nice shadow currently on the boards right now that is very nice although the cab is beat up a little. Color dmd, etc. Price at 3500 now and still for sale.

I was not claiming they all sell for over 4k. Just making a point that some nice ones do.

You are right that 3500 +/-200 is the going rate for typical cleaned up examples in average condition.

Agreed all around (I mentioned earlier that really nice ones can go for 4k or so). I think the previous posts were indicating this game is now a 4k game which it's not. We can't take a pristine example and use that as the going rate....

That one is a solid deal with not a lot of sanctum wear. It's also in NY nearing winter and not offering shipping. Cab is ok condition. This time of year with a lot of new releases is a great time to find a good deal. Take the same game, redo the cab and it wouldn't have much trouble selling in the low 4's.

That is also the only TS listed that is a good deal.

I bought them all day long for $1200-$1500 before I released the Shadow plastic superset. They all had broken plastics and that sanctum plastic by itself was $300 IF you could find one. Once I released all-new plastics for the whole game, prices jumped $500-$800 pretty quickly, almost making me regret doing it - almost.

Can't wait until I have mine finished and ready to sell after reading this thread. Wireforms newly plated, gold mirror blades, repaired the Sanctum wear, nice cabinet and artwork, full tear down cleaning and shop job. Cha-ching

PM'd. 6K!

I've got a pretty nice little collection with some high dollar games. I think my Shadow is the best of them all. I think there are a lot of guys that feel this way actually. Funny how games get valued I guess.
