Pristine at 6100 is a steal. Pristine is no fade and really nice pf. Pinside values on this game are behind. Nice games are going for 6-6500k, pristine would be 7k+.

Agreed. Mine has very minor fade. Gorgeous playfield. I'd trade it for AC/DC Premium maybe.

I agree. I was on the hunt for one for quite a while. A nice cabinet and playfield is 6+ all day long.

Its a great game.

Watch out for ghosting inserts!

If it's that nice $6100 is a steal. Make sure the Path of Adventure is working as it should. Those can be problematic. And it's a fantastic game that's been on the rise for some time.

I wouldn't call it pristine, but it looks like a nice example. I think you are doing ok at $6100.

Umm yes...that's the path of adventure
Real pain in the ass to deal with so make sure it works.

What he said!

and if the fade is going to bother you that's a big ticket item. The quality decals will run several hundred dollars just to get them. See if you can get it for $5500-$5600. If you get it anywhere in that range and it's working 100% and don't like it, you'll have no issues trading or selling it. It's a very desirable game.

6100 is not a bad price for a table that really seems to be taking off and that's from first hand experience.

IJ was one of the more challenging titles to find for me bc I didn't want any fade. I wasnt expecting collectors but wanted very very nice. Took sometime but recently found it and after some LED updates, color DMD and pinsound it's finally complete.

Yeah, that cabinet is faded. It's a bit overpriced.

Thanks! Totally agree with it being worth the effort bc part of the charm for me is how it looks/furniture effect. A non faded Indy really stands out

Looks like a nice example minus the fade.
IJ is an awesome game! Between IJ and Metallica, my other pins rarely get played.

Fun game been on my radar for some time.

Looks nice but I do think you got a bit of ghosting in this insert

I would offer him 5,500 and go from there. Not more than 5,800 for sure

It's just a replacement board.

Soulrider911 I love the game. It's the only Bally / Williams I own now.

It's a great game. Packed with things to do.

Or you could play the crap out of the game and enjoy not worrying about such a minor thing.

Funny I did this trade and went back a year later to the same IJ

Honestly I wouldn't worry about ghosting. It doesn't effect gameplay at all. I have some slight ghosting in mine. It's very common with these. Here is mine:

VERY common on this title. Those green combo inserts are always ghosted.

Ahhh, my eyes!!! What's with the color bombing of the GI? Green and blue specifically.

Sorry if you already know all this, and make sure you verify that it works while you are there. Play it a few times, look for a credit dot, go into the test menu and check that things are working. Look at the boards in the backbox. It definitely isn't a good feeling to come home and then figure out something is actually wrong.

The person might be totally honest and everything is fine, or they might be trying to slip one by you, or anything in between. Trust everyone, but cut the cards.

Up to you to worry about ghosting or not. Most of the time, the ghosting does not get worse, but not all the time. You need to inspect the playfield in person and decide for yourself. Nice machine overall

Good luck with the pickup. Price seems maybe a bit on the high side. If you can shave a bit off the deal, it's always nice to get yourself a little extra room for upgrades. But if you like the game and it works properly, a couple hundred probably isn't worth walking away from the deal. And ghosting & fade (on a game that commonly has both) isn't a huge deal if you plan to play it and not lock it in a hermetically sealed vault like some sort of prized pinvestment.

Be sure to give everything a long look. Don't worry about the seller. Raise the playfield. Open the backbox. If everything is satisfactory to you after you've looked at everything then pay what you want. It sounds like he's close in price.

Do as I say. Not as I do.

I would have taken it if I was looking for one. Faded cabinet and coindoor are not enough for me to walk away from, playfield and overall condition matter more. 6100 is not a bad price for a game with a great pf. IJ is very different than mm, in some ways better if you like the theme. You may regret passing as prices on these are moving higher and getting harder to pry away.

Yeah I agree. If the PF is that nice $6100 is still fair. MM and IJ are very different games. I prefer the IJ theme but MM is straight fun. With MMr you can get a brand new or like new for not much more than IJ. IJ is not easy to find and it's getting hotter and hotter. And yes they are very hard to get away from their owners. I'd expect that trend to continue.

Personally I'd need 2 pins in trade before I'd consider getting rid of mine.

All opinion, but IJ is a slow playing turd with amazing sound/music and theme integration. I've had two over the years, with one being a restored beauty with a pf like glass. It still played slow. Yeah, the ramps are "fast"...but that's it. For that amount of money you were good to pass on it.

Yeah kind of like The Hobbit and WOZ.

YOU AGAIN!!!

The game was in the tournament at Allentown, was not slow or a turd at all. Winning score on the game was just 149 mil. Set the game up right and it no longer becomes easy. I only had 73 mil, good for 8th place on it, it was tough. I won't talk about my other scores , other than to say I have no idea how to play whitewater.

Pet peeve these days...You're adding on monies after the sale that don't need to be added because you don't need a coindoor unless you're operating it. Why does it need to be replaced? Looks like it closes which is all you need it to do. Whenever I get a game the first thing i do is rip out the lock and bend the door so it stays shut...because what's the point?
This is the same thing as people looking at Wh20 now-a-days and saying "yeah but buying a whole new ramp set is pricey" as if it's just assumed you need all new ramps.
Fakemonies

EDIT: Unless you're planning on operating it then i apologize

Sounds like the game had really good bones for that price. I probably wouldn't have passed on it but I'm also not afraid to apply new decals and replace a coin door. If you're only looking for pristine condition pins you'll quickly learn those games don't come cheap.

You sound like one of those purists who loves warm whites or non LEDs. Sorry. I think that looks boring. Love my machines to pop! Each their own though....

Edit... Oh and you're the one who thinks IJ is a turd and slow. That explains it.

Well if anyone else is interested in it. sfbay.craigslist.org link

And that's why it comes down to the person. Does IJ play slow? Absolutely. But, that's precisely why I love it. I am not a great player so I feel at home on IJ. I can pick my shot, try and make it and not feel like I just got manhandled by Buffalo Bob if I miss. You're probably a much better player than I am and prefer the faster, tighter tables. And that's great. That's one of the reasons why pinball is so fantastic. There are so many themes and play styles, there's something for everyone.

The 5yo put up 45M last night on IJ. That's another reason I like it. She couldn't handle IM or ST. I enjoy playing with her. She enjoys playing too. Last night she was watching TV and I asked her if she wanted to keep watching TV or play some Indiana Jones. She quickly chose playing Indiana Jones. Getting a kid off of the Disney channel for any reason is tough. It's nice having a pin she actually enjoys.

Not like WOZ at all, but yeah...kinda like Hobbit although Hobbit at least has the pop ups to randomize things and keep you on your toes.

No, I just don't like color bombing and losing the detail and color of the art.

Detail, color of the art is all still there. Maybe you just need to see in person but there is no bombing going on. Thanks for your opinion "pimp".
