Looks good, I might be interested. Have to see if I have the room right now. Are there any LEDs in there? Lights look great.

#4 11 years ago

No LED's on it. Just normal light bulbs. Will post a video at some point if I can borrow my wife to play it for a minute.

#5 11 years ago

Is this in like crazy pristine condition or something?

Quoted from calvin12:

If you looked at the pics you could make that call yourself. I have an opinion but am not going to say anything since i assume most potential buyers have their vision intact.

#7 11 years ago

I stopped looking at pics once I saw the flipper button wear.

#8 11 years ago

Definitely NOT crazy pristine condition.

Slam ramp has been rebuilt with the decal applied over the area, new spinning disc installed . . . I think that's all I've done to it besides a good shop job since I've owned it. Plays great!

Thanks,
Josh

Not trying to threadcrap, just asking as a frame of reference - has NGG really jumped up THIS much?

I would've been interested, but seems this is going for substantially more than I'd expected.

#11 11 years ago

Cant believe how low I sold mine last year Doh!

#12 11 years ago
Quoted from Collin:

no

#13 11 years ago

It's not going for anything yet

I'm willing to listen to any reasonable offers from anyone interested, so bring it on.

Thanks,
Josh

#14 11 years ago

That light bulb that is out on the coin door slot is a deal breaker . Seriously, I've played this machine and it does play great. Good luck on the sale!

Thats why I asked, thought maybe i was crazy.

Definitely yes. As much as some would like it not to be. Just play it or watch the following
YouTube link. Just a hilariously fun Pin. O Yes, Color DMD coming soon

#18 11 years ago

It is a great game really regret selling mine, would love to get a super nice one someday.

#19 11 years ago

Selling mine on Saturday.

#20 11 years ago
Quoted from Stack15:

Selling mine on Saturday.

Keep it in Ga...

#21 11 years ago
Quoted from vcloverjr:

Keep it in Ga...

Going to Augusta... didn't even have to advertise it. My friends will miss it but I find it to be way too easy. It's the only game that I can reach "wizard" mode in TWICE in a single play. I get to the hole in one challenge maybe once every six or seven plays.

In the game's defense, I have played it A LOT. I bought Road Show with the intent on selling NGG after getting RS working correctly. It's day is Saturday.

#22 11 years ago

Congrats, My gofers is staying for a long while. It's easy, but crazy fun, and fits quite nicely in a larger collection...

#23 11 years ago

SHAZAAM. Check out recent pinside selling prices. GLWTS sale though. If you can pry out 4k from someone here, more power to you.

#24 11 years ago

Game is sold, thanks!

#25 11 years ago

Wow!

#26 11 years ago

Damn, congrats. Mine just went up %80 percent in 2 months. Awesome.

#27 11 years ago

holy cow! and I only want 3k for mine

#28 11 years ago

the fact he sold if does not mean he got 4k for it. I made an offer and he countered considerably lower than his asking price but not enough for me to take it.

#29 11 years ago

I have followed this title for awhile now and Gofers in really nice condition go for $3700 to $4k now. Mint condition, close to $5k

Just the facts...

You must be getting sick of your's or something.

Not going anywhere, anytime soon. Just a fun Pin. So No to your comment.

That's cool, bro. I was going to delete my comment but somebody thumbed it up so i left it. You might be right. I hate being argumentative about stuff like this so i will just bow out on these types of debates going forward.

I appreciate all comments. I know I tend to defend some titles more than others, but this one really is a great Pin, and has risen in price.

#34 11 years ago

People just make up prices and then that's the going rate? Why stop there? NGG is a $5,000 game now! No, it is not.
Taxi is a really great pin too, but is that 4k as well?

No, it is not.

#35 11 years ago

This is a game that has been sold at least a dozen times on pinside and ebay in the last 4 months including me. Mine plus 4 others sold for 2.5-2.9 k I bet the top price may be this one that probably sold for 3.5k. This title is fun for a few months than people dump it . The average sold price is probably around 3k not 4k.

#36 11 years ago

Why isn't congress tackling the issue of the price increase of No Good Gofers? Where is John McCain in all this?

Quoted from joestro78:

John McCain has been fighting to keep the price low, but Obama says that is a title too big to fail so it's getting a bailout and the Feds are giving incentives to help pin heads afford the rising costs of owning one

#38 11 years ago

You didn't hear it from me, but word is the Pope resigned over the NGG pricing scandal.

That's the same thing I noticed. I bought mine in the $2,500-$2,900 range and sold it for what I paid for it. Bought in Nov 2012 sold Feb 2013. It's cool but WAY too easy. The only challenge was getting more than 4 holes in one in a single game. By far the easiest game I have owned.

Counterpoint = low production and everyone agrees that it is fun and funny.

The Pope declares that 'No Good Gofers' is a sensation and expects the price will increase
in value.

#47 11 years ago

I feel like a dope for selling mine for what I did Def not a 4K game though unless its mint HUO Perfect! I am actually a huge golfer and fan of wisecracking Gofers and I did get a little bored of it, that said I miss it and wish I didnt sell it. Wouldnt mind having one back someday.

Good thing, you're 13 months late

One just went on Mr. pinball for $1000...someone here got it before I could. But obviously that was a screaming deal from someone that clearly didn't know what they had. As a seller of pins, no way is it worth $4000 (unless someone pays that of course). I would say $3500 tops!
