Price check: Safe Cracker (Bally/Williams 1996)

$6500 - $6900. Possibly a bit more because of the amount of tokens.

I was thinking $6500 - $7k as well. Very nice game. btw watching your SC review is the reason I picked up my SC (WH20 and HSII as well). Thank you for all the great reviews.

I'm selling mine for 8k. Domestic with a Chris Hutchins restored playfield, new ramps, all mechs rebuilt as well as underplayfield rails. I have had it listed for a while and have only had trade bites at this point.

Just putting this out there so you know what is on the market and what you can compare the game to.

SC is a tough game to price. Yours looks like it's in great condition, so it should fetch top dollar for a non-restored game. The problem is that it can be a hard game to sell. Despite its rarity, the demand for it isn't as high as one would think. I've seen some very nice ones sit for quite a while before they sell. I guess people just don't realize how damn fun of a game it is. I love mine!

GLWS!

People's ignorance on this title may change as the "A" games lose some collectibility gloss. SC will never be remade.

That's for sure.

This one was initially listed on PS for $6,000; the ask was later reduced to $5,750:

chris, sell me your bbb! lol. good luck with your potential sale. ant

It's been on the market for a while now, hasn't it? and there was competition, a just out of box one sold with like 20 plays on it to Tiger a month ago. Asking price was like 10k.

6K tops JMHO

I played one at the Chicago Expo last week. Never played it until then. Had a lot of fun with that machine. I think they were selling a little over 7,000.00

Sorry to hear that...seems like you have a personal connection with all your pins. GLWS Chris.

That one was nice but I think missing the wings? I was under the impression ti did not sell.

One thing to consider on this title is that it's not a full size game, and not everyone is going to be interested come time to sell the game. So the market is limited, but so is the supply of games (around 1,000 games made or so). It's also not a huge amount of replayability and it's a quirky timed-mode game. These are things that I love about it but not everyone's crazy about it like me.

Here's what I would pay:

5k for a stock game without playfield support rails and maybe needs to be shopped. Might be missing wings or Magic Tokens. Cab fade.

6k for a nice example with playfield support rails, wings/topper and slight cab fade

7k for immaculate game.

I have $5k lined up (or my TRON pro, whichever anyone wants) for SafeCracker. Just waiting for my lucky day I guess!

Sold my Huo sc that was new in box a year and a half ago last month..I was asking 10k I got close to asking

It has been. I'm just ahead of the market.

Two of those plays were from me before it sold
Nicest Safecracker I've ever played, let alone seen! Congrats Tigerlaw!

6k+ all day.

I traded a super nice HUO w/ 200+ tokens and custom under-pf rails for a very nice TAF with Color DMD and a Mike Chestnut chrome job. Both parties very happy.

I would start at 5,500.00 assuming good condition and go up from there for perks like extra tokens, HUO, etc

I traded my SC out for of course my third Addams family

I traded plus got 2000$ cash

So I feel 6500 - / + is accurate mine had a new ramp under supports coil cover about 100 + tokens wings with protective tape over chrome molding and topper

This was over summer 13

Hope that helps

Love your videos, ever in upstate NY lmk stop over for a round

Peace

I put more then 20 plays on it..
