    Thank goodness the transformer is there. It’s complete, except for the displays, the boards, and probably the legs.

    Dr Ray Stantz: "Everybody can relax, I found the car. Needs some suspension work and shocks. Brakes, brake pads, lining, steering box, transmission, rear-end."
    Dr. Peter Venkman: "How much?"
    Dr Ray Stantz: "Only $4800. Also new rings, mufflers, a little wiring."

    Gottlieb Sinbad, SS - 1978

    "Used - Good"

    $1500, about double average value. Wonder if it comes with the legs since the description was left blank.

    Price was better 17 weeks ago.

    That said, goes to show how regional things are. To me, aside from the cupping, the PF and BG looks quite nice. If it has legs, works, and the BG is as nice as it seems when lit.. then the price would be pretty reasonable to me.

    This machine is only 10 minutes from me. A little annoyed at the lack of information, I sent him a message asking if it works, condition of electronics, etc.

    I know this guy stomps this forum, so I'll probably get some heat and down votes, but 10,000 for a dracula?!?!?

    Is that an odd reflection, or is there a plasma disk near the coffin?
    Did that wander over from Frankenstein? There's no electrical equipment in Dracula.

    The coffin is uhhh, unique as well. I guess it could be a mod as I don't know the game very well but why a skeleton coming out of the coffin? Looks like someone combined a Scared Stiff box and some Halloween clearance decor with pieces of a trash bag.

    Does not look like Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist. Can you share a link to the actual ad? Thanks.

    Only $13,750 for this classic Haunted House with the sweet Black Hole bumper-cap mod. For ultimate in Gottlieb reliability, the MPU has been meticulously hard-wired to the Driver board. You just know it's a clean solid machine when it's being used daily in the arcade.

    I know this is amazingly ignorant and insulting to the seller, but deduct $10k, cut the remainder 50%, throw in free freight, a few more Black Hole parts, and I'll consider putting this 2-yr old eBay listing out of its misery.

    Yes it is.

    Same game, same price, and some very quick incorrect assumptions.

    #8525 75 days ago

    Beauty, eh? I will sell my KISS machine for only $12,000, if someone wants one nicer than this one. I like the warping sides, aka "patina", which gives it a nice touch.

    "Selling my scumbag soon to be ex-husband’s collection of kid’s pinball games. $100 a game with a notarized bill of sale today only. Everything that doesn’t sell today is going into a roll on dumpster with the rest of his trash."

    Saw that on CraigsList this evening. Phone number Massachusetts, photos from an arcade in Arizona, and ad posted on the East Coast.

    ACCORDING TO THE WEB SITE 38 BIDS OMG CAR FREAKS GONE WILD

    #8539 56 days ago

    And that's how you sell a Checkpoint

    #8540 56 days ago

    Unbelievable; currently at $10K for a checkpoint. I guess that it helps that BAT is deleting posts that (presumably) try to point out how insane this is. A fool and his money...

    #8541 56 days ago

    Ended up going for $11,500. I am now going to corner the market on Checkpoints and profit!

    #8542 55 days ago

    find out how many different bidders there were not the total number of bids. Then limit the # of games you buy, some may not bid more than what you paid. Most likely 2-4 kept bidding past $5K

    #8543 54 days ago

    Not really a laugh but I was wondering if I was missing something. Seems a tad high on each EM game. Even with "being gone through".

    Kind of early for holiday pricing, too.

    Playfield is remarkably nice… But should come with 2-3 additional Jumping Jacks at that price (of course, I don’t want one, don’t know why I’d want three…. Maybe the creepiest theme ever… just teenage girls at a slumber party with a clown pretending to be a Jack in the box)

    Sold for $8,500. The buyer is so happy he won the auction! Plans to recoup his purchase in quarters! LOL.
    I suppose he also paid a buyers commission.

    5% or at least that's what it is on vehicles.
