Black Knight
Williams, 1980I am going to look at a Black Knight in a few hours. The seller sent a few pictures. I'm not sure if it is 100% working or not? The person wants me to "Make a offer" and has told me that she has a few other people that are interested. Let me know what you think of the limited pictures and lack of info. Keep in mind it is Canadian dollars. Thanks.

Cosmetically it looks nice.
However, you have no idea whether it runs or not.
If it runs fine, I'd say 1200 or so. If it doesn't, it all depends on what's wrong with it.
If you care, the cab art was poorly done. Both the front and side have bad centering issues, and the "g" on the front shouldn't be filled with yellow like that.

I'd agree at $1200 or so if it works. The backglass looks like it may be worth a good chunk of that (EDIT: As noted below, I now see the flaking) .

The backglass def looks to have started to peel. You can see it in the bottom red bar in the middle. Also on the right red side.

I think you might be right about the glass. When I blow up the pic the red looks lighter in some areas.
Guys he said Canadian dollars....$1200 US is about what $1,200,000 Canadian right now? 
Pull the backglass to check condition. The cabinet looks decent. The playfield has the usual wear on the Magna save. I'd agree around $1200 US would be a decent price.

Seeing the photos on a computer screen, I see you are definitely correct. I see it in numerous spots now. I may value it closer to $1000-1100 US with that if everything else is pretty good (flipper rebuild is cheap/easy), though the cab art issues would bug me as I particularly like the cab art on BK. Great game to have though if you can find one locally. I play BK more than any of my other machines when I'm alone (though MET gets the most attention with others).
