My cousin just told me he found a SM in kids corner in one of the shopping malls, but some lights are burned, screen not working and it needs some cleaning.

I wonder why they get a pinball machine if its not going to be maintained and the tallest kid there can't reach the buttons !!

I'm happy to know there is a pinball somewhere, but people here are not interested in pinball and even if they want to try this game, they will hate it because of the condition for a semi-new game.

not to mention a game cost about 1.30$ :s

I should ask them if they wanna sell, I'm sure they do

you can try but for some reason lots of places dont sell them even though they need to be shopped BADLY.

Buy it! you can make this deal if you work it hard enough be fun to shop out and tear that poor game down to clean it.

Figure it will have 6k plays offer 2500 or less and see if they bite.

On the Back of Stern Pinballs is a build date.. that will most of the time help with knowing how many plays are on it. Also if they haven't cleared the memory (taking out the battery off the board) there is Audits in the menu that show you how many games have been played.

The Audits menu would require access to the inside of the coin door though.

Not Sure what Pinballs in the UAE go for but I would guess value in the shape its in would be like said above 2k-2500. Shopped, Fully working with new display 3-4k depending on warranty and condition and age of the machine

It is tough to buy games on route unless the op wants to sell. Some are very knowledgeable about the value and some are unreasonable. Every once in awhile someone reports that they got a steal of a deal though so it never hurts to try.

To you a pinball with no DMD is broken. To an OP, as long as there are quarters in the coin box, it's working fine. Even though they are lower now, games like South Park maintained such a high value for so long because they did great on route. OPs love to sell bad games for way to much, because to them the value is relative to how much it makes in the wild.

Yeah, there is one here on route in sad shape. The want $3700 and won't budge.

Theres a indoor sports centre not far from me. They have fish tales Doctor who and an Addams.
They were in the most disgusting condition i have ever seen a pin in.
Asked if he would sell and he literally told me to leave! HOW RUDE.

BinGhanem,
Any word on the Spider Man that you started this thread with?
Did you find the true owner or make an offer to buy it,at least you should've brought a step stool for the kiddies to play the machine.
