Terminator 2, passed
Star Trek Next Generation passed
Truck Stop sold 300
Hurricane sold 650
Jokerz passed
These pins were "Project Pins" All were missing boards, T2 had water damage on the outside of the bottom of the cabinet

These pins had all the boards....some weren't in bad condition....others needed lots of work...ie playfield wear, cabinet wear, mechanical issues:

Dr Who Buyback at 1500
Demo Man 1000 buyback
Tales from the crypt 1650
Junkyard 2300
Twilight Zone 3600 buyback
Road Show 1850
Evil Knivel buyback
Earthshaker 1200
Roller Coaster Tycoon 1900
Kiss buyback (don't remember the price)
JudgeDredd was 1900-2000? (Can't remember...right around in there)

I'm missing a few of the machines that sold......, but they all had problems. I picked up Earthshaker & TFTC.
EarthShaker----has a few issues, but will be a great winter project
TFTC---in pretty good shape. Needs some work, but playable

cool tat

Thanks for the info. Pretty disappointing to see so many missing boards.

The starting bid on STTNG was 1k, but it was missing boards, and no glass. Playfield looked great, but all the plastics were so dirty. I figured it would be years before I would get that thing up and running. I think everyone was thinking the same thing

I was so bummed about the water damage on the lower cab of T2. The playfield looked great, but man I just didn't want to take any chances throwing money away.

Dr.who was a buyback at 1500? Someone is an idiot. Should have let that one go and been thankful he got that. Especially in players condition. Same with a dirty players TZ at $3500. Should have considered that a gift. Some people think everything is worth gold.

And these are prices before hammer? Most of them prices were outrageous without the Hammer. Add that to it, and your reaching in the insane realm. Must have been many uninformed people there.

Our market is just different here in OK I guess. Everyone I've talked to on pinside says such and such is too high, but there just aren't that many pins for sale here and when they do come up, they are always higher than what pinsiders think they should be.

I actually drove over to Tulsa a couple of weeks ago to look at the RCT he had. It was throwing up switch errors and had some non-standard legs making it extremely short, and it just did not present that well. Plus, the E A T plastic was broken and from what I've ready, that's like unobtainium. Other than that, the mini display was great, and the machine was in decent condition. We just couldn't work out a deal for it. I'm glad he got it sold as the guy was a great guy and former military so major kudos for his service to our country.

I don't really see a lot of FS posts in OK, so that might be right. But you have to be willing to drive. If your going to sit around and wait for pins that are an hour or less in driving. You are probably going to be paying more. I'm always willing to drive 8 hours out and back for something I want that's in my price range. 10 hours out and back, if it's something i've been after for 2+ years. Want the deals, you have to drive and on a moments notice. For the right game, i'd get in the van right now and head off to a 20 hour round trip. But there are only 2 games i'd be willing to do that for.

It's very bizarre that people, as a group, pay more at auctions.

People just get caught up in the emotions of an auction and are willing to pay more.

Same thing happens everyday on ebay. When there's excitement, people get a little looser with their purse strings.

Which games were a really great deal? I see a couple that are okay if you want an auction pin at collection prices, but no good deals.

I might be interested in the Doctor Who - anyone here (besides the seller) see it in person that could offer a second opinion?

The DW was a buyback at $1,500. That means that the bidding only went up to $1,500 and the final bid was the seller. It doesn't mean he's selling a DW for $1,500.

I know - it's posted for sale in another thread. My question is has anyone seen it personally so I can tell if it's worth buying it unseen.

wasn't warmed up? $1500 for a Dr.Who is very very high. Especially for players version, and before hammer. Whoever owned that, had their head up their ass.

arcades are usually dirt cheap. Bottom fell out of that market about 6 years ago. MAME for the Win.

Prices really seem to increase with a NE->SW gradient. Not sure if I'm more often amazed at how cheap things sell in the east, or how much people around here are asking (which are probably a bargain by southern CA rates). I totally picked the wrong hobby or the wrong side of the continent to live on.

yea, but if your hauling it to an auction, your looking to dump. Can't expect to get insane prices at an auction, because the buyers are having to pay over 13% on top of your price. Which is super high. $1500 is a gift to the seller of a DR.Who unless it looks minty and unfaded.

We pay premiums for pins here...

Everything seems to be 10-25% higher for pin prices in TX/OK. I saw amazing deals at expo last year...
