I am starting to debate what game gets sold so the next one can come in. CFTBL is the most likely from my currnet collection to leave...

I have a nice CFTBL and also a nice IPB pf (from earlier runs and is nice quality). I bought the pf becuase I am a dork and figured it was good to have in case I ever want perfect. The current pf in the game is VERY nice with only minimal blems and hardly any snack bar scoop wear (was previous covered with cliffy). If I were to just sell the game I would consider selling the pf seperately.

For the most part the game is very nice. I have never done anything to it becuase frankly it has not needed anything. Hologram is green with tint of blue (depends on angle) but still looks very nice. I'd say it is greener that most I have seen.

If I were to keep this game, then I would probably do a full top side tear down and cleaning just becuase it will be time come the fall/winter. I also bought a set of new plastics to replace the few with minor cracks when/if I ever shop it.

Cab is nice with only minimal blems.

There is not a whole lot of recent data on sales of CFTBL and boston pin shows almost 5k for the 3 that sold on ebay so far this year.

I appreciate your thoughts.

Fair vaule with extra pf and parts included?
Fair value of just the game?
Fair value of just the IPD pf?

thanks in advance

WOW, I figured if Boston pin avg is ~5k for just the machine then fair pinside price for game and extra pf would be at least that.

Is ebay/boston pin that out of line on this title currently?

I can put up some pics if folks need them to get a more accurate assessment, but basically it is on the higher end of quality but not restored (yet).

These appear to be the most recent on ebay and my game is similar/better condition than these.

and from what I can find, blown out but restorable pf sell for ~$350
nudey girl IPB versions sell for ~$1400
regular IPB versions sell for ???

Seems like a hard title to price with currently few sales. Has anyone from pinside sold one recently? Please shoot me a PM if you have.

thanks

Just quoting ebay sales as it is the only thing I can find. I am not selling now >> just trying to figure out a fair price if I do sell/ deciding what I should sell.

There appears to be one game in the pinside market place that sold for 'asking 4500'
Other than that all I see is a few ads in the forum with games that either sold for ~3500 and in worse condition than mine or did not sell/ were not updated as sold.

Also, nice score on the 1k creature >> There is NO WAY I would sell for that cheap (unless i had picked it up that cheap originally).

Thanks for all the info guys.

I got a few pms concerning IPB pfs and it sounds like the going rate is ~1200 for a non-nudey CFTBL...

I also got a few PMs asking to buy the pf. I would only be willing to sell as a pair with the game at this time.

I am honestly not sure what I should sell/trade at this stage, but most of my other games are either keepers or fixer uppers at this stage.

Not at all. I value all the info that people have posted/ pm'd me.

It helps get a good understanding of what current value is on the game and pf.

I can surmise from all input that based on condition, 3500+ is fair for the game and ~1200 for the pf.
