Quoted from PinballNewb:Why not wait until a half hour before the listing ends to make your guess
That is a smart strategy...don't think you should have shared it if you wanted to win.

My guess is $17,777.
I figure that anyone with the desire to buy a Magic Girl up to this point, and with $20K+ to spend, could (and would) likely have done so already. That means that serious bidders on this auction will be comprised of the sub-$20K category. Good luck to the seller!

Nah, my real strategy is actually being the top bidder and calling my shot. That trophy is as good as mine suckaaaas!
Quoted from DaveKing:I'll kebosh all the speculation right now: I WILL NOT end this auction early, not my style. If I do I'll shave my head and paint it red. This is all about satisfying a personal financial commitment with the added bonus of throwing some sunlight on a dark part of pinball. The existence of this thread is already hilarious and priceless to me - anything that reinforces pinball as pure fun is worth it.
Just to up the "WTF" factor beyond that awesome trophy, I'll also kick in a NOS Evel Kneivel pf and $500 to the daredevil closest to the pin, even if it hammers at $13,412. Let's just hope I don't get a non-payer, then I'd have to re-list and we'd be subjected to TWO weeks of this craziness, and I'd get to yank another NOS pf out of the rack. Have fun and game-on gents!

Awesome Dave! Way to kick it up to 11!

Wow, wonder where he came across that, he sounds clueless about it... Maybe playing?
Just like the auction...
Quoted from beelzeboob:I'm going to use a quote from a famous Chicago song and guess $25,624.
So, wait, you're bidding $25 OR $624?

Oh, Yeah?
I raise you with $86,753.09 !

Weird. That was my ex-girlfriend Jenny's phone number.
(I thought of using that, but figured that wasn't a realistic number...)
Gorgeous looking game. But I'm not a fan of that lcd location at all as it is certainly blocked at least some especially for shorter players. Any addition of after-market mods will only block it further. A waste of the backbox space. And all flat plastics on the playfield and no 3D molded toys? A neat novelty at best IMO. I don't care how amazing the rules are and I suspect they are short of incredible. I'd pay more for a WOOLY.
But I'll guess $23, 850 based on hype alone. 
Quoted from Yoko2una:$19,501
there should be a "the price is right" pinball. PLINKO and yodeling mountain climber modes.
I accidentally clicked "Buy it now" on a $40,000 Magic Girl and am waiting on hold with the eBay support team to try to undo it.

You don't 'accidentally' hit buy-it-now on eBay, especially since the system will essentially ask you 'are you sure,' and it makes you click a second time. As a seller for 16 years on eBay, who makes part of his living by selling golf equipment on eBay, I always hate it after a buyer completes a buy-it-now, pays for it, then has buyers remorse an hour later and wants a refund. It's usually accompanied by some sort of really lame excuse. It's disrespectful to the seller.
