Yes I did.
So my thoughts so far with my search for these early SS games: over priced for what the condition is.
That $1700 game is worth maybe $1000. It it would take lots of $ to make it into a nice game, that is if you could find the parts and are willing to spend many hours fixing it up. I'm sure someone will buy it though.
I know the price of new games is going out of sight, but a NIB Stern pro is like $5500 shipped. These games are new, everything works, no need to spend hours sourcing parts, stripping cabinets & repainting, buying a new playfield for $800 (if you can find one) and swapping out the old one with new plastics and associated playfield mechs and parts.
I realize that some will find this post annoying, me sounding like a whiner. I guess I'm just unhappy with not being able to find what I want I think is a fair price.
This used to be more of a hobby where people exchanged or sold things more in that vein, now it's more like a profit center.
