I think I may win a prize... I don't see this posted up here already (sorry if it has been).
Folks, I submit for your review the **EXTREMELY RARE** Zizzle Pirates of The Caribbean:
ebay.com link: Zizzle Pirates of The Caribbean Pinball Arcade Game EXTREMELY RARE
Only $2,625 UDS along with a minor $583.27 shipping fee. This is a bargain because the same machine is selling for over $6000 at some other place.
It is listed in my home town here, Knoxville, TN. Do I dare make an offer to this seller?
D.GOTTLIEB CO 1964 WORLDS FAIR PINBALL - $2800
knoxville.craigslist.org link
For $2800, has the decency to hose the dust off before taking photos.

This has been for a few weeks now, I think it started off at $300....
knoxville.craigslist.org link
(resized).png$17000... so lets round up $6000 for pin and parts purchased... so $11,000 in labor, "over 100 hours", so lets go with 105 hours on the project, that would be 13 days (8 hours) spent on the pin at $104.76 per hour.
I guess based on those numbers/logic, I've got a Whirlwind that is worth $21,000. I'll cut a deal for anyone who pays $18,000 cash.
Scam... another email address replied with this line of crap:
I'm sorry to say i sold this to another guy. But i wont hide where i got it from. I picked up 2 brand new ones for under $70 from http://turdspam.crap/
It's very easy to win. The trick is to bid only when the counter hits 4 seconds.
But this seems legit:

Quoted from wolfemaaan:Then the jokes on me
Eh... learned something new.
It cost me $80 to send a 6 pack of RC cola and a box of Moonpies to NZ.... I suspect shipping a pin would be a bit more expensive.
A client had a failed item (automotive related) and I had the my company ship him free replacement parts so he could be up and running. He send me several cans of L&P in return. So I sent him the RC and Moonpies. I also sent 1 can of Moxie soda because he knows a jerk who deserved it.
Factory certified New Beetle Convertible tech here... make sure the rear window hasn't come loose from the top. I'm looking for DE Simpsons or DE Starwars... I'll install a new top, parts and labor for trade. 
I just finished up a top on one this morning so I'll have some extra cash to waste pinball.

"Vintage Elvis pinball Machine. Powers on and lights but the controls are not working."
Only $900!
asdfasdfasdf (resized).jpgQuoted from CoolCatPinball:What a bargain!![quoted image]
PRICE DROP! Only $5999 now.
Quoted from cconway84:Arcade in Gatlinburg with a DE Star Wars for $5800, twilight for $9800 and very rough DE JP for 4k.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
I'm pretty sure that is the Red Rocket arcade... the DE Star Wars was in really good condition, but sort of out in the open in east Tenn humidity for an unknown amount of time.... don't know if the pins at the entrance got direct sunlight on them or not. Anywho... while in good visual condition when I've seen it last summer, I'd don't see $5800 in it.
Are Bingo clunkers good for parts to be carried over to pins? Coils I figure would match up, but any mechanical bits and pieces?
Quoted from Diospinball:Another RARE machine of 9,000... Which is actually a pretty good run for pinball.
But it is #126 of 9008! There is only ONE #126, so I would say it is super duper pooper rare ya big dummy!
Plastic manuals would be great for those times I do like to relax in the bubble bath with a glass of wine. My paper manuals are all messed up because of this.
Lady Robin Hood is the 2nd pinball to have flippers, thus making it the first pinball that is worthless. I own one.... I'll sell it for only $2399 to anyone who is dumb enough to pay that.
Quoted from n1teowl:Hmmmmm. Help me out, I'm trying to figure out if I should get a Jurassic Park Le, or this:
seattle.craigslist.org link
But you'll have a lifetime supply of used parts for leaf switches.
Quoted from newovad:Can someone buy this game, pretty please? It's been listed since the date on the picture.
... June 7 of 2020, I got you beat... this pin has been getting slapped up since last year.
pasted_image (resized).pngEh, it just isn't for me but if someone else enjoys pachinko, then who am I to piss on their fun? It isn't like they are those dummies into bingo machines.... screw those guys with a rusty Harbor Freight 5/16 wrench. Amiright gang? ;P
Some nice work there Yak.
Quoted from undrdog:I am about to finish fixing up a 1950s Wms machine that I'm told is not a desirable title. Should my ad start at $3,000 or $5,000 ?
Maybe this meme pricing guide will be helpful:
4waidn (resized).jpg$14,000 Whirlwind here on Pinside. I guess I'll slap some chrome on my restored WW and ask $13,500.
I guess I'll lists my Funhouse project once I have it complete for $20K and see if anyone is dumb enough to purchase it. If so, next round of beers is on me.*

Ebay pricing.... I looked at an Addams Family last weekend, came with the house sort of thing and not been services or cleaned since mid 90s. I would best call it a decent starting point but needs a whole lot of TLC to bring it up to spec.
Anyway, they found an ebay listing for Addams for $12000.... so I don't think they are going to accept my offer. Addams is not a halo pin for me, so maybe they find a more motivated buyer.
The flip side of the coin this thread is about...

Some buyers are scamming themselves.
