    Was told it's be in storage for 38 years and alot will need to be removed just to get to machine to look at it. Looking to get a price for a EM Bally 1972 Monte Carlo 4 player game. I have no idea what the condition is, so I'd like to get a price for Fair, Good and Excellent conditions, not a restoration. Thanks in advance.

    I believe my Bally Monte Carlo was $200. Everything was there but it needed some serious tuning to get working. It was stored in a moist outbuilding so there was a healthy dose of rust inside the game. Cleaned up pretty nice and about a year later I've finally got it up and running. I probably overpaid but seems fun for the era... I've only had it working properly since Super Bowl weekend - I finished it instead of watching the game.

    This game has been in outbuilding too for what I'm thinking. Thanks I may not even look at it now. Sounds like move 2 hours worth of junk just to look at it.

    id give them $1500 if I was you. that's a fair price.

    If you're not going after it post it in the project pin thread (https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/post-project-pins-for-sale-here-cl-ebay-pinside-and-others/page/234#post-4829699) and it's a good bet a relatively local pinsider will put the effort into it.

    For a friend, friend of family, neighbor or relative I would probably say $200 and 'maybe' more if its in great shape.

    For a junk dealer, typical hoarder or Craigslist rando there is no chance I am cleaning out their shed just to hear their guess on value 2 hours later.

    $200 would be generous for an example of this title that's sight unseen.

    In storage for that long, the backglass could have disintegrated, it could be riddled with insects, and maybe made into a home by rodents.

    You really need to get eyes on it first to see if it's going to be salvageable or not.

    I wouldn’t pay anything to be honest. The game isn’t very fun, and it sounds like you have quite a rough one on your hands.

    Rough and not playing - $0

    Rough and playing - $200

    Nice and playing - $500

    I've heard a fool and their money will soon depart, what's in your wallet?

    I'm not likening the fact that I'll need to clear out 2 hours (years of junk) just to look at it. I think I'm calling to tell them I'm not interested.

    The bug factor is another thing. I remember seeing photos of Zack SDTM.
