Quoted from McDoom:What’s the true going price for a game like this?
My best guess would be around $4000 (or less) depending on how bad you wanted it. Basically a little more than a nice High Speed with a replacement playfield since head needs to be replaced or repaired. Kind of like a brand new classic car that was dropped off a car carrier - it is going to take the right person at any price but there will likely be someone who would buy it at the "right price" but that "right price" in no wear near $10,000 and $20,000 would be a stretch if it was truly NOS in perfect condition & unopened.
Scary thing is someone in this thread said they were going to pay $8k. So it’s worth more to some people I guess.
Quoted from Gotpins:Mods, lock this thing up!!
Hellz NO! Not before at least 1 more good rant from the OP!!

You know what else is a "time capsule piece of history?" This Effin' carpet

That’s what I have been waiting on!
Quoted from McDoom:What’s the true going price for a game like this?
4K absolute max! That’s giving him a grand for his story. It’s gonna take a few hundred bucks and a week of time to get it up and running! Then you have a nice low play high speed.... what’s that worth 5k max. Unless I wanted this for myself there is no money to be made on it if you buy it for 4K. Especially if you can’t repair the game.
I can buy a restored Funhouse and take my family to Disney for 20k.
What's the record amount of posts in a for sale thread. Keep'em coming.
Bump
Good luck with the Sale....

Would you take a bag of chocolate covered dicks, three pieces of lint, one buffalo head nickel, and a half drank frappucino on trade? I seem to be about as likely to get a yes to that, as you do to getting 20k, so I figured I'd ask
This thread hit 300 posts way faster than the CCr hype thread did…. Definitely some great entertainment the last 2 days

Resisting a perverse urge to give the seller an up vote, for all of the entertainment. Thanks for the laughs.

Fairly new to all of this. What is the In Before The Lock “achievement” you speak of? Is that being the last person to comment before the thread is shut down?
BTW, why would this get shut down? It’s too much fun and the guy is SO asking for everything he is getting.

The OP could deactivate his account wish he has in the past when he’s got called out for having multiple accounts

Yep and im in at 300 
I took a closer look at the “AMAZINGLY clean” CPU with battery acid damage on the clip. WTF. So many wrongs here.
This is a great thread. Perfect example of how to not sell a game.
My advice. Put the game together, shop out, fix the electronics and realist for 7500 and you might get an offer.
Turns out the seller IS right about one thing:
This listing has turned into a piece of history. I think he meant for the game he’s selling to be the history, though.
Quoted from CoolCatPinball:Speaking of, look what I somehow achieved the other day! Still not sure what thread?

Suggest the OP may want to include an option to the ad: Battery Holder for additional $300.00.

hahahah 
Quoted from Flash71:This must be his other account

I’m certain he won’t sell or trade it at that value assessment.
If this is Joe Zenk - nobody should buy regardless from a scam artist

Maybe he shouldn’t include his real name in his user name?

Never heard of him. Anyone care to educate my naive-self?
Wasn't there that guy in CA with the really expensive cars talking crap about all his money, and all other pinsiders would never be as successful as him??!? I seem to remember ~300 downvotes......
Quoted from Dee-Bow:-135 had to be a record for down votes?! Is there a way to search that
More downvotes for the first post in the thread here

I believe there was one that was in the high 200s but I can’t find it now.

NPO you are literally commenting in this thread - how have you never heard? Are you Joe Zenk?
Quoted from NPO:Never heard of him. Anyone care to educate my naive-self?
Quoted from Bmanpin:This dude isn't coming back into the thread I guarantee it. If he does he's going to need some summer's eve.
He already moved on to another burner account probably.
