I couldn't sleep last night, so while perusing the internet in the middle of the night I came across a local Hyperball for sale. I was intrigued since I've never even heard of this unit (not calling it a pin, so as not to offend). Anyway, I've watched all the YouTube videos I could find and read every post here on Pinside related to the topic.

Most of the posts are pretty stale, so wanted to get opinions from players and owners of Hyperball. Things like the following:
- How fun is it?
- How hard is it?
- Does it have any staying power?
- How difficult is it to maintain?
- How loud is it and do sound absorbing mods really help?
- Can you adjust the volume on the unit?

Regarding pricing, the ask is comparatively high from what I've seen. However, it is really clean, has new balls, and a new partial LED upgrade. Just wondering thoughts on value of a fairly pristine example.

$1500 OBO

FYI, Great feedback everyone, thank you.

Everyone seems to be confirming what my gut says. I only have one pin, so this would be viewed not really as part of my "collection" but a retro fun/fast paced arcade machine. I don't want to insult the seller, as I'm sure he probably has a fair amount in this unit plus wants to make a little, but I was thinking my ceiling would be around $1,000 for one in this condition. The only thing that I could see doing to it is adding LED for the flashers (he has done all other bulbs) and then doing some custom sound muffling as others have suggested (not the audio, but the balls hitting wood/metal constantly).

I haven't gone to play it yet, so I do have concern if I (and my family) will think it is fun or not, and if it has enough appeal to play a few times a week.
