Quoted from Gnatty:This game will sell, don't get me wrong. I'm simply stating that many collectors don't take the time to clean, rebuild and dial in a game the proper way. This game has a Pinside avg. price of 4400.00. This particular one looks filthy, has parts that are on hand to replace broken stuff. Yet the repairs aren't done, which from experience tells me the machine need a complete tear down, mechs rebuilt, ramps, switches that are cracked,and without question, other hidden stuff. So why is this on the high end? 20-30 hours to shop a WH2O and rebuild mechs etc. buying parts and your talking a lot of time and extra money. To me, that time is money and parts are obviously too. That's all I'm saying.
That's your opinion, and many of the things you say about the pin itself is true. Keep in mind the Pinside avg price is across the US, and the prices you see in the northeast are lower due to availability which is MUCH higher than WH2O's availability in the southeast. Additionally any WH2O I've seen on Pinside in the last 6 months has been over $5500, and the only other WH2O on Pinside right now is at that $5500, and it's looks to be in similar/slightly worse shape than this one.
From what I see this one is priced right on the money for the market here in the southeast US.....
