I bought this game. The "Price Check" was lacking a lot of info, feel free to vote again! "50%-60% wear on the lower playfield is pretty subjective. What's lower? Lower half? Lower third? Yes, it has wear as you can see in the pic below. The game works and works fine. Cabinet is decent, backglass is decent. I bought it for the package deal. The wear alone doesn't make this a dog of a game worth a few hundred bucks, and Artie's price wasn't outrageous because of the following included that wasn't mentioned:

1. New set of legs
2. New repro playfield
3. New set of plastics from CPR
4. New insert decal set in case someone wanted to fix the old PF
5. New target decals

And to top it off, game was delivered to my door at no cost, an 80 mile round trip for the seller.

Quoted from Replay:

Todd - it looks more and more like you may have taken advantage of the seller in this exchange, I hope you are able to sleep at night.

He set the price, I didn't haggle a bit. I did however provide a few hours of pinball fun.

Artie? How's YOU feel about it!?!?!

I guess the sarcasm did not make it to the printed word,

I hate sarcasm. Never use it myself.

Quoted from SealClubber:

Todd always finds the good deals.

Sometimes you have to ask what all is included.

Quoted from lmcdonald111:

In this case I was asked my opinion and In good consoius gave my observations both GOOD and not so good on the facts I was given.

If you were asked your opinion about the game, why didn't you just say you didn't know? Anyone with a price guide or knowledge of Boston Pinball pegs a working Firepower in the $600-$700 range. Better to come here with no facts, no pictures? The only two things you said was about playfield wear (making it sound a lot worse than it was IMHO), and that the spinner didn't work. Where's the GOOD you mention? The survey appeared to me to be nothing but sarcasm. "Best Deal Ever!!!!", "Say What?!?!?!?!. Emphasis are mine.

But hey, in the long run if I hadn't seen this post, I would not have asked about it. "Hey Artie, is the PF wear really THAT bad?" Response: "Let me send you pics."

It didn't take me 5 minutes to say yes. My other project Firepower is much worse than this and to sweeten the situation, I have an NOS backglass! It's not a project I have time for but in the end it's going to be a SWEET game!!!

Quoted from lmcdonald111:

Just for the facts what was the final price?

Like I said, I didn't haggle.

Quoted from lmcdonald111:

How about a simple more or less than the 700.00
Because your no comment speaks volumes

The asking price was $700 and I said I didn't haggle. Is that clear enough. If it's not:

Good grief.

Quoted from lmcdonald111:

Sadly many times people speak in vague terms leaving things to the imagination. I help write standards and bylaws. Words mean something , exact words are not interpreted incorrectly.

Imagine a monkey drinking a beer sitting on a bar stool and you'll understand how the moose skydives at midnight. 12?
