I have for sale 3 pinball machines:

Atari Middle Earth: 500
Works perfect
Back glass 10 out of 10
Play field 9 out of 10 (small wear around pop bumper caps)
Cabinet 9 out of 10 (paint perfect, tape residue on the head, might come off with goo gone)

Raven: 500
Works perfect
Back glass 7 out of 10 (fading on the trans lite, semi washed out)
Play field 10 out of 10 Perfect!
Cabinet 9 out of 10 Small scratches, not noticeable

Counter force 400
Needs a power board problem solved ( I haven't looked at it)
Back glass 10 out of 10 (The NICEST you will find)
Play field 9 out of 10 (Slight planking no wear)
Cabinet 9 out of 10 (paint perfect, slightly faded)
(someone is selling this exact machine for 1750 in Maine, my play field and back glass is nicer)

Someone is coming to look at all 3 today. The lowest Ill go on all three is 1200. Is that fair?

I's say that's more than fair. I might even consider a Raven for $500

(ok...that was a lie..but still a good price!)

Sounds fair to me....Id buy middle earth if it were local

No, I think you're right in line for quick painless sales. You might squeeze another $50 to $100 here or there if you sit on them on CL, but I'd prefer to pass along decent deals to fellow collectors in hopes of building future good will. And consider what your time is worth answering endless questions, sending pictures, waiting for no-show buyers, etc.

Very true. If anyone here is interested let me know!

Prices seem fair for a fairly quick sale. Only one that might take awhile is the Atari. Not alot of folks looking for Atari games. A perfectly working Atari game is a rare beast though. Never seen one That will certainly help the sale.

Good luck,

I definitely would not go lower. Although they need some work it sounds like the over all condition is pretty good. I think you are giving someone a good deal and not selling yourself too short...but I wouldn't go lower than your rock bottom price. Good luck.

Raven is actually a fun game, but 500 might be tough to find a buyer. I think my buddy finally sold his for 350 (shopped and working). You might get a bite at 500, like I said its actually pretty fun, but be prepared to drop a bit.

I already have a bite at the 500 on raven. If all of these package deals fall through he wants just that one for 500.

Damn, another east coast deal I can't take advantage of.

I wouldn't say that's a steal, but it is a pretty good deal for the buyer, and you as the seller won't be getting crushed, plus you get $1,200 in pocket plus space for new pins! a win win
