Quoted from poppapin:Dream on. As said before search the archives $1-2K
I just sold a project one for $1000 last month but it was a project game. Complete but non-working. Playfield had the typical wear and backglass was bad.

Quoted from WeatherbyMAG:A Populated Playfield & cab & backbox wiring harness for a 9 ball will bring $1000-$2000 these days. I will gladly pay $1500 if someone has a populated 9 ball PF & harnesses.
This game will easily sell for over $4000. I have customers who were recently looking for one in worse shape than this one, that were willing to pay in that $4-$5K range to get one to then spend thousands ontop of purchase price to have restored.
I think the days of touching the more desirable Sterns ala Star Gazer, 9 Ball, Quicksilver, Catacomb etc for under $4K are long gone. Star Gazer has long been up there price wise & 9 Ball & Quicksilver are quickly getting into the Star Gazer price range.
I guess I sold mine too cheap at $1000 last month. It was even a hard sell at $1000. The first few CL guys who came out to look on it pass. It was person #4 who bought it. I can't believe it would sell for a lot of money even in nice condition. Every time I play a 9-ball, it feels like a turd game. I sold the project Stars pin for a $800. Are all these older classic Stern games worth big money?
Quoted from play_pinball:Where'd you list it? You'd have a frenzy listing one at that price on Pinside. MPU100 games are still relatively cheap (and underrated), though.
The 9-Ball I sold had a -200 MPU in it. Did Stern make these with -100 boards too?
Quoted from djblouw:Either you're the worst person at marketing a pin for sale, or you're trolling. Hard sell at 1k for a 9ball? yeah, I'm pretty sure we know which one is true.
It was not hard to sell but the first few guys who came out did not buy it. The 4th guy did. It sold in one day regardless.
Quoted from WeatherbyMAG:.... if it had been on Pinside or FB Marketplace, it would have sold within minutes of being posted in either place.
I buy a lot of games from KLOV (Arcade forum). I don't think there are a lot of pinball people on KLOV so some deals pop up now and then.
Quoted from frunch:No, definitely not. That said, any chance you have a project Quicksilver, Stargazer, or Cheetah?
