The Who's Tommy Pinball Wizard
Data East, 1994Here are the pics.
Have a very nice Tommy, super clean inside and out. Playfield is damn near perfect. Blinders work 100%. Has upgraded pinball pro speakers all around. Upgraded Propellers. Plays fantastic. LED's almost everywhere. Cabinet is super nice (3 little hairline scratches on the right side head, but otherwise flawless). Inside is very clean and smoke free. $5300.
actually, it's cheaper than the one I just sold for $5500, almost as perfect. So it's the 2nd most expensive Tommy i've ever seen.
Quoted from Benepinballs:When did tommy go from a 2500 game
To 5k?
..when he is selling one....
yup, My games are priced based on how much I like a game, and how much attachment I have to it. That's the way my whole collection was priced out. Games that I get in trade, I usually don't have attachment to and let go very reasonable. (exception is TF as i'm getting attached to it).
Don't feel you have to make excuses for your prices. Your price is your price. People who don't like it should probably log off and go kick their dog

Kicking cats is more fun and they go farther.......
Quoted from TomGWI:I'd like to add a first.
what's stopping you? I can get you some deposit money if you sell me that whirlwind.

We don't need to logoff if we don't like the price. That's stupid and silly. But moving on without saying anything seems appropriate so long as the thread isn't annoyingly bumped.
why? Tommy is one of the best games out there. Plenty of people spend more money on games that are far shittier.

Ok... but I really like my dog.

Kick Nhamokung Suh, nobody likes him....
Quoted from jayhawkai:Wish you were closer!
WHat!

I had a nice one and hated it......to each his own.
Nice looking game but the music REALLY blows. The blinders are WAY cool and that's about it.
Quoted from CaptainNeo:not anymore you can't. 2 years ago, yea you could.
Yesterday this one was down to $2999 locally.

Quoted from CaptainNeo:I'm surprised this is still available.
Find the guy you say bought your other Tommy for $5500 and tell him he needs a backup in case the first has any issues. I think the number of people willing to pay $5K+ for Tommy is pretty limited.
I'll give you $5500 for your Tommy, if you'll give me $3000 for my TFTC. It's easily in as good, if not better shape than the Tommy.
Quoted from CaptainNeo:yup, My games are priced based on how much I like a game, and how much attachment I have to it.
Make that $3500 for my TFTC, I really like it a lot!
Quoted from vex:you should try rgp, those guys are suckers
Yea but not enough to bite on a Tommy north of 5 grand.
I had an extremely nice tommy a couple months ago. Sold it for $3000. Took about a month to get that. Judging by the interest my price was a little on the high side but not rediculous.

Sold mine about 2 1/2 years ago with a set of NOS plastics and in REALLY nice shape for $2150.
I actually lost some on the sale but got to play it a while and wanted a different game anyway.

This is the classic impatient-buyer-paradox. If you want to purchase something NOW, you will always pay more. If I want a pool table right NOW, there's a good chance it'll cost me $1000+ But if instead I decide I want a pool table and am willing to be patient, in all likelihood, I can get one for a few hundred bucks.

This goes the other way also. If you want to sell something at a very high price it may take a while but if your patient someone will eventually buy at your asking price.
