First off, taxi is a hellava game. Never gets old. My buddies love it.

The whole Lola/Marilyn thing is overrated.. I wouldn't pay any attention to it.

I would say it's worth around $1000 depending on condition.. maybe more as it hasn't been on route for awhile.

Look around the pop bumpers and the santa target for wear. Also there is usually wear on the inlane decals where the ball is returned from the wire ramps. If this wear isn't really present, grab it!

Honestly, if it's in nice shape and you're not too worried about price, get it. Taxi will always be in my collection.

If there wear just put up with it becase CPR is releasing a Taxi Playfield.

Hard to say without pictures, but if the playfield has no wear and the ramps and spinout are not cracked, I would be willing to pay more than $1000. No one is currently making the ramps or the spinout assembly. Maybe after the CPR playfields come out someone will.

Pinball Inc makes the Departure ramp and although its listed Out of Stock they always seem to have them at the shows. Its great when CPR makes a playfield because it prompts other manufacturers to re-run other parts such as ramps and decals. And yes it would make sense to offset the price just by purchasing a decent Taxi with a nice playfield but a repro playfield will have better colors and play because of the clearcoat.

For me the new playfield repro isn't an option. Just not comfortable enough to swap them.

Plus they're not cheap.

Just buy the thing regardless. It's a fun pin.

Gonfisn, post some pics. Taxi is one of my shortlist games too.

Hi,

I'm guessing around $1k also for a HUO with no issues. Run a switch and coil test, pay attention to the two 3 target opto-banks, if they are original I wouldn't be surprised if they need attention. Post up pics, fun game

Taxi is a neat game. The theme didn't get me excited at first, but it's just such a solid player.

I love Taxi as a kid. I played it later on in my teens and thought "WTF was I thinking??"

Now, in my elder years, I can't seem to get enough of it. I play the heck out of it on my xbox when I'm not playing it in the wild, as I don't own one... yet.

I picked up a Taxi last month for $991 off of Ebay. It was a Marilyn and was in decent shape. Both of my ramps were busted and am working on getting new ones once they are released. I just got a email from Pinball Inc in regards to when ramps will be available:

"Yes, we've made the first form and now we're working on the programming to cut them out. This is the step that takes the longest as we build a cut fixture, program, cut and then test fit. Then make any changes and test fit again. Once the fit is good then we test run it to make sure the performance is good."

I love my Taxi! I just wish someone would repro the Spinout ramp

I thought that pinball inc had all of the original bally/williams dies.

I like taxi but i think it's a tad overated, to be honest. My buddies and i always used to play rollergames and even police force more when they were in the same arcade. I would think it would get old in a collection that already has fish tales.

I'm liking PF more and more everyday that I have it. And I got it for my kid!

$300-$400 tops sounds like.

Sorry man. Sucks getting pumped up etc.

That sucks. Wonder what kind of medication he was on to think its worth $1200 in that condition.

I often find it funny that usually pics look decent, but then in person things are much different.

I always ask for pics honing in on the spots of wear on the playfield.

It is amazing how beat up some pins can get in a home environment. HUO does not mean perfect playfield, no broken plastics, all boards working, and zero fade on the cabinet.

wow, that's kinda low even for that kinda shape. I was thinking more like $600

Taxi is in its own cat. Fun to play to take you to the 90's. Fast simple fun. No ball save on sys 11 kind of suck but that was the era.

The theme music is my top 3.
