I am in the process of getting a Hardbody and I wanted to know what I should offer for the machine I'm considering. It's in decent shape -the cabinent is in great condition. The playfield has one major scratch on the upper right scoop shot on one of those water spludge things and a few minor scratches, including one near the bottom right flipper on the orange. It's generally dirty, needs some rubbers but I didn't see too many other blemishes. The displays work fine as well. I believe it plays correctly and the sound is working fine...

The major problem I saw was that the left ramp had some repair done at some point (I saw tape, not sure how bad it actually is) and that the Flex Save didn't work at all. I didn't have the opportunity to inspect it in detail and only have the following pics.

Any idea's what I should ballpark an offer for the machine?

Nothing. Run, don't walk. You will have a hard time unloading it after the nightmares from the backglass finally become too much.

Just my opinion. Oh man that game has always creeped me out.

400-500? Idk. Looks like only one bad wear spot, and if it all pretty much works, I think that's reasonable. I would only pay up to 600 for a nice one so....

$300 sounds about right. I wouldn't go any higher than that unless it's a title you really want. You probably will struggle to get $600 back for it after shopping it.

From what I've observed, it's a hard pin to get rid of. Any risque pin seems to be, for that matter, since the pool of potential buyers isn't as large for those kinds of pins.

Either way tell that guy to put a new shooter tip on his shooter rod or the playfield is only gonna get worse.

Now that's some classic 80s cheese, gnarley dude! It has some interesting twists to the gameplay.

I'm ashamed to admit it but I really like this game. I'd probably overpay if it came my way. Not really into body building chicks so that doesn't explain my interest. Maybe it's the flex-save feature...

500+. It's a heavy one.
