Thanks Levi.

Quoted from snaroff:

That's not my experience...most high-end collectors are keenly aware of the nicks/scrapes/flaws in their collection (no microscope needed

I'm a pinball guy. I like having the nicest machines I can and that I can afford. I put these in my home so they need to be clean. I'm surprised I never really noticed the blemish on the head. And it's not even in between two other games either. I take good care of my games, but I just don't consider them collectables. And I'm always a little surprised at what I find when it's time to sell...because I go over the game with a find tooth comb.

I know its a cliche, but I'm kinda shocked no ones commented on the shooter lane of this game, which is nearly perfect, but the missing bar code is a deal breaker? I think there are different premiums that come into play: for home use only (that hasn't been played a lot) and then for things like "perfection" etc. I'm pretty big on the "not played a lot" angle, and think it deserves a solid premium.

Speaking for myself, if there's a blemish or two on the cab and the serial numbers are missing (scratched out actually) on the boards but the game feels like new, than I'd rather have that than a clunky playing game that looks perfect. Ymmv of course.

Anyway, looks like this thread has played out. But not my FT, it's just getting warmed up.

I know, right? I'm kinda sorry I asked. It's like people telling you your baby is ugly!

No one said it was ugly. It's clearly a great example. All we did is try and educate you on what issues are likely to come up if you want to price it for perfection. In fact, I even sent you pics of mine and what it sold for (something not many folks do on Pinside). So rather than defend why your baby is beautiful, just be happy we took time to give you honest feedback. Fact is, selling high-end FT's isn't easy...you might have to be patient if you want top dollar. Good luck...
