Found this in our warehouse at work. It belonged to our CEO, then a co-worker in Marketing who never took it home so its been sitting there for years. I've inquired about it and he's willing to sell. Whats the going rate for one of these? I'm told "everything works" but am hoping to inspect it more next week. Thanks.WP_20150708_001.jpgWP_20150708_001.jpgWP_20150708_002.jpgWP_20150708_002.jpg

Thanks guys. My gut was telling me $300 so that seems close. The co-worker and I are work friends so I'll definitely be able to inspect it and check for battery corrosion and any evidence of critters. $300 was if everything's working cause I'm not sure these older games are my cup of tea. Heck he might of picked it up from the CEO for $100 and if thats the case that's what I'm offering him. I'll post more pics once I get another chance to get in there.

None of the inserts were raised either.

Plastics are juicy... none broken. playfield stress and chipping in areas and the rubbers look like they've never been changed.

I was talking to the guy who runs the warehouse and he doesn't think the current owner got it on the cheap. So he probably won't want to take a big loss on it. Guess we'll find out next week when he gets back. What would be the max you guys would spend on this assuming it fires up and plays near perfect.

Quoted from Pinplayer1967:

My advice, ask him what he needs out of the machine, he may come back and say give me $400 and its yours. Don't look like a cheap idiot by offering $200.00. To many people in this hobby embarrass themselves and insult sellers to the point that the seller will no longer deal with them. You work with this guy, don't insult him.

Good advice. If he got a good deal hopefully he'd pass that deal on to me. If he's in over market value I'll help him clean it up replace rubbers and help him get as much back as he can.
