$703 was the highest sold on Ebay from 2013 (Boston Pinball)
$550-$650 average (Pinside est.)

I'm going to say $1200 to the right collector - if you can find one. Or, perhaps auction it off and see where it goes.

Quoted from Grayman_EM:

Greybeard there was a 1970's pin listed that was a one owner with only 4000 plays on it. The person was trying to sell it for $3,300.00. I am not sure if that was just made up or true to the great condition as it looked brand new. Hope this helps.

Trying? Did they ever sell it and what did they actually get for it?

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

a true HUO Ship Ahoy - and someone who is into EMs should be able to tell - would probably be worth $3,000 to the right person, or an easier sell at $2000. Or a real fast sell at $1500.

It would seem we need "someone who is into EMs" to get us a more accurate price range. $1500 to $3000 is quite a big spread.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

You ever try to buy or sell an EM pinball machine before?
At the top end there is indeed "quite a big spread."

That's why I asked the question if an EM guy could give a more accurate figure. Maybe two people fight over it and it's worth thousands, then again there might be nobody that wants it at all. Someone familiar with this particular title, it's desirability, etc. could narrow the range down - possibly. I admit, I don't know EMs well. Maybe this is a shit game that nobody really wants in any condition. Just because its HUO doesn't mean it commands the same price as any other HUO EM. Or, maybe a collector with the pulse on the EM community can firmly say "$2K is too low, I know some would pay double that"
