Keep it for a while. If it's really a space issue, sell something else, or put something else in storage. Play the crap out of it and if you don't like it, then sell it. At least that way you can honestly say it wasn't for you and it's time to move on.

Not trying to be a dick or anything, but as a casual observer I think you're missing the point. You've been chasing this game for a year. You finally get it. And less than a day goes by and you're talking about selling it. That says flipper to me. Just as an outsider looking in, mind you.

That said, the previous owner agreed to a price and you paid him. It's your game and you have every right to do whatever you want with it. TNT it off a building if you want to. I just know that if you'd been hounding me for this game for a year and I finally gave in and sold it to you, I know how I'd feel if I found out you sold it the next day. Again, not trying to be a dick, just trying to help you understand how the previous owner could be hurt by this.

Pricewise, I don't know where to put it. Cyclopes and Brenna's Quicksilver both sold for $5K. Not as rare, but certainly desirable games. This one? Who knows. Not many people have played it. I played it at Expo, but it was not set up properly and didn't play well. A 1 of 10 game and I walked away after one game. I think I would start at $5-6K and see what kind of interest you get. On ebay, the rarity alone would certainly get people to throw stupid money at it.

Quoted from MiamiRedSkin:

I'm a hobbiest. When I think of flipper, I think of something completely different. I'm not a business - I'm a dude who enjoys the hunt of the find, playing, and fixing them. I chased this game because I knew it was an oddity, and it was stashed away in a rinky-dink basement (as pictured in my original post) getting absolutely no love. I'm more of a modern guy, so while I love the provenance, I rather trade this or sell this to help fund a more recent game. Call me whatever you want - I disagree and that's fine.

That's exactly my point. I've seen your activity here long enough to know that you're not a flipper. I was only stating how this is seen by other people not in the know, possibly even the previous owner.

I mean, c'mon, 1 in 10? How could you NOT set this thing up and play it?

Quoted from ForceFlow:

I don't think Cyclopes and Andromeda were getting the higher prices they are now until people starting hyping them and bringing them to shows in the last couple years.

I blame @schudel5. He is the reason, after all, I'm building a Cyclopes from a populated parts playfield.

Quoted from pinballj:

This is my bad. That was the first time having that game out of the collection and to a show. It lasted prob like 2 hours before I had to start working on it, and never got it fully working again there. Also the reason why I put it in the Vendor room instead of the "free play room", as I knew it would be lucky if it made it the entire weekend I brought it to the Louisville show a couple times. Last year it stayed up till Sat evening, which I thought was a huge success!!

Yeah that was too bad, I was really excited when I first saw it. By the time I had a chance to play it, it wasn't working. Then when it was back up and running, as you said it wasn't fully working. I can't remember now what was wrong, only that something wasn't right which took the fun out of it. I sure admired it a lot, though, and I'd love to see it again someday.
