Quoted from ForceFlow:Maybe there were no leg levers, or only a set on the front and not the back? Or maybe they used the wrong legs? Or had a kid who couldn't reach and didn't have a step stool?
Who can say
That looks like something My grandfather would have done. 
"fixed it!"
Quoted from ForceFlow:Did someone not know how to adjust the leg levelers?
Someone in a wheelchair perhaps?
I was thinking that very same thing.
They "destroyed" a set of legs, but really this isn't as bad as it looks.
Looks funny as hell, but is easily reversed.

The time it took him to drill those 4 holes out, he could have built a stool.

About a year ago I looked hard for an AC/DC premium/LE. The only one's I could find were either beat or over priced. Once Stern released the Vault many of these games have hit the market for reasonable prices...$14K doesn't seem very reasonable considering an LE just sold for $8K a week ago. Who knows maybe someone will buy one, but paying an extra $6K for art work seems a bit steep....

Looks like it has the chrome package. 
As far as Demo Derby's go, that one looks like it actually is in really nice shape. Probably worth at least $75 or $100. So he's only "a little" off.

Ad says "no children used it". That's really pretty sad.
"Original High Speed"?
Was there a remake that I wasn't aware of? Does this guy think he has production number 1?

Yes, there was a sequel
Quoted from ForceFlow:Wha...? lol
Quoted from cosmokramer:For those who dont have their glasses on....
Whats more disturbing...the naked guy or the spiderman?
WTF? What's more disturbing is if there's actually a person in that Spiderman costume standing there next to him.
Spidey's pose definitely implies they were knocking back a few brews and hitting some multi-ball, then shirtless Jack steps to the side and said "yo bro, I got to get a pic of the game so I can post it on CL." Spidey is standing there saying "what the hell dude?"
Just odd. People never cease to surprise me.

That spider man pic cracks me up! That almost looks on purpose. How do you miss that when listing?

I was thinking it was a manikin in a Spider Man costume. Game rooms tend to be collections of movie and other memorabilia. Seen rooms with Darth Vader, Boba Fett, stormtroopers, etc.

Yeah, I've seen a ton of that stuff over the years, was just hinting at a different scenario. It most likely is a manikin. Just would be so much weirder if it was someone standing there in the Spidey suit.

Never posted in this thread before but I think this recent Denver post qualifies.
Didn’t even take a minute to remove the pile of laundry/crap from their 10k collectors item for the picture.
Quoted from Duvall:Didn’t even take a minute to remove the pile of laundry/crap from their 10k collectors item for the picture.
Yeah, don't worry about that stuff that's on the game, it's mint underneath. Sure, we'll take your word for it

I saw one of those sitting on CL last year for a while, and thought what the hell and picked it up…I think I paid 75 or 100 bucks.

Yours for the most part looks better than the one in the ad I posted.
Quoted from mbaumle:Here’s a laugh on letgo. I contacted the seller, and she said she wouldn’t go lower than $2,500–as she *apprently* had an offer for that amount for the game 10 years ago.... also, that’s the only picture of the game.
I bought one for 330.00 about 3 years ago, I would not pay more than 550. today
Quoted from girloveswaffles:Yours for the most part looks better than the one in the ad I posted.
Yeah, it's pretty decent. I patched the backbox and reinforced it with brackets. Issue with the power supply, but not a bad little game for the price I paid. And it has an actual screened backglass in it. Never knew that. Really, this one and Fireball are the only two smaller home use games worth owning, at least in my opinion.
Laughably to some, I also have a Wico Big Top I picked up for $30 years ago at a yard sale, looks like it had been in a creek. Totally restored it for my daughter back then.
Sorry to momentarily derail...back to the laughs.

I don't even bother with Letgo after posting a few pins there.. as one other pinsider opined, I think it is trafficed by crackheads and tweakers which sums up my experience..

It's definitely good for some things, and not for others. I've bought some really fantastic pinball deals on letgo, but I'd never use it to sell one.
