The Who's Tommy Pinball Wizard
Data East, 1994Hi I;m in the process of trading some machines and I was wondering what a fair value for HUO Tommy is now days. Of course the blinders work and the original topper is present, The machine is very very clean..only issue is some scratches on the cab and slight surface rust on the bulb holders on the back box. The machine has since been fully converted to LEDs minus the flashers... Thanks!

Quoted from BoJo:Nice looking Tommy. Looks legit and is refreshing considering how many times the term HUO gets abused.
hear hear... tough to even suggest a value. I haven't seen this title HUO in a long time.
Take offers... whoops! that'll cost me!
Quoted from coasterguy:Tommy is such fantastic playing game. I miss that one.
I am sure there a lot of games you miss 
The pin market has gotten so crazy, it's hard to accurately put a price on that game. You just don't see Tommys in that nice of condition come up for sale very often. If I had to guess, I'd say it's worth at least $3,500, and possibly more to the right person.
My Tommy is in the same condition as yours (mine is better if those ball lines in the lanes are dirt and not worn into the diamond coat on your pin). I have been offered $3,300 all day long. I could get more but will never sell. My Tommy was the envy of the 2012 Mich Pin Expo and I feel really good/proud about that. This machine is so much fun too

It is pretty awesome. Many games have been through my game room and Tommy has made it through them all. It's one of those games that may not blow your socks off initially (or even in the first couple months of ownership) but as you play it you start to realize what a long term challenge the game offers plus all of the little hidden gems in the software. Getting to the wizard mode is a major accomplishment, it's a very hard game.
Pinlawyer thanks for the offer, I'm sorry but someone was en route for it and I had to make good on the promise...(you know how much I traded it for) 
I had a true HUO only one and sold it for $5500. But it was perfect and clean in every way. No surface rust or anything. Played so smooth too.

I am still enjoying it, thanks for that deal!

I'd like to think that I could do slightly better now than I did before on yours.
I guess these things go for more than I realized. It makes me not feel as bad about how much I'm into mine for. I overpaid big time when I bought mine a couple years ago, but I guess the market has finally caught up with my foolishness.
Quoted from AkumaZeto:Normally the number 1 give away on a HUO DE or Very well cared for De is the cardboard coin door shield inside.
Yes I agree.....I never even seen one of those things till I got my Tommy, I'm happy it went to good guy collector.
