2k might be a fair price. Got some wear and a few issues to work through. Typically these go for 2400-2600 in decent shape, they dont come up often though.

$5 ? I'll take it off your hands.

Jesus, really?

It's a project game in more or less unknown condition. He wants it gone by vacation - I think around $1500 is much more realistic and sensible.

If it helps the OP any, I bought my Whirlwind for $1900. Everything worked, and the cabinet was in impeccable shape, but the playfield was blown to hell and back.

I agree with CrazyLevi that the $1500 mark (plus or minus a couple hundred) for an "unknown" condition game would be fair asking price.

$2000 is a fair price for a whirlwind in plug and play, shopped out shape. $2500 is top end hobby price.

Your game as is $1500 give or take is a realistic and reasonable price.

Game has plenty of issues.

1:Pinball Missing error
2:No Spinnig Disc
3:Right ramp is bad
4:Display Issue

I'd say $2,000 is way out of line. I've seen them sell for $2-2300 fully working.

Your around $1300ish in my book.

Those mechanical issues are nothing and can easily be fixed. A new display is $125, a right ramp piece isn't much. Every ww I've seen had wear at the scoops and cliffys will easily cover what's there, add $50 for them. Based on the pics, there isn't a lot of wear around the discs, the pop bumpers, or the left inlane, but it's hard to tell. Looks like some lifting in the lit insert above the right flipper.

When was the last time you saw any ww go for 1300-1500?

Here's one that sounds worse that was asking 1900:

If the game plays 100% otherwise and there are no surprises, 2k is reasonable.

Lets not forget TIME IS MONEY and it will take TIME to fix the ISSUES on the MACHINE otherwise the OP would probably FIX them.

This is a total PROJECT machine. If anyone pay's $2k for it they either really want one or just a dumbass with too much cash.

The $1900 one is from a retailer too. I'm not sure that's a fair comparison since it not only works, but there would be some expectation of some kind of warranty as well. I'd be a buyer at $1500 if I could figure out how to get it closer.

Replacing a motor is minutes, same with a switch, it's an Hour total to diagnose and fix both. If it is a disc motor, it's $79 at Marco and in stock. I'm sure you could find a used motor for half that. That's the worst case scenario. op not fixing it maybe because he doesn't know how, have the time, or just doesn't want to bother. This is worth more than 1300-1500. The main thing is pf wear and this doesn't seem to have much of it, based on pics supplied. If I were to buy, I'd want more and better pics though.

It doesn't fully work, needs speakers and a fan motor. No warranty is implied in the ad. Doubt it has one at $1900.

Agreed

It also appears there may be decals on some of the inserts?

If I only kept my WW back in the day!! Been wanting one ever since bit not at today's prices

Only worth what someone will pay. I bought one in better shape for 450.00.
Now that there are playfields again. This is a good candidate for restoration. If there are the problems he knows of, probably a few he doesn't know of.

I see all games as used and If there's playfield wear, I would want to restore it, pending parts availability. That's just me. That considered, I look at cost for playfield, plastics, translite, if damaged, ramps, which are usually cracked or broken, then, what a restored game would sell for. It's easy to be in over your head, and unless you're keeping the game forever, most want to break even, at least.

I often seen people looking for this game in the US or Canada so i consider that is a rare game in your country,sure this one need a good restoration but many of you know it worth it.If were in the US i will take it, for sure 1300 or 1500 it s a good price.

Looks like it has mylar on the pf?

Cosmetically it doesn't look to bad. (What's up with the insert outline on the South arrow?) Your few issues don't sound terrible either, I'd say it's worth 1500/2k depending on how bad they wanted it or how bad you wanted it gone.

I'd be interested, but I'm not sure I have anything in trade you're looking for.

has insert decals as well. 12-1500 max in my book

Trying to learn, where are the decals?

Main compass (S)outh insert. see how far alignment is off?

Ya know, ya save for what seems like forever.. then finally blow it and all of a sudden sh!t like this pops up

Based on the cracks in the black at the top of that insert, I disagree.

1k is a fair offer in the current condition and circumstance IMO. I have purchased 2 wwinds in similar condition in the past 2 years for that exact price.

So, how much?
