$1250 if you really want it.
Sounds like it's worth $1000.
Get it for $850
I think realty nice Taxi sells for $1700

No way. Taxis around me are much more rare and therefore fetch higher prices.

In that shape, $1100 as long as it all works and the displays are good. Cabs are easy to touch-up.

I paid about 850.00 for my Marilyn.
Needed to re-pin the GI male/female connectors and various connectors on the interconnect board. Had to remove batteries and put in memory capacitor. Right flipper was weak. Ended up having to get an entire mounting bracket to replace. Left ramp was cracked slightly but still functional. Needed new drop target decals for marilyn. Mylar needs to be removed. Certain spots are bubbling. I mark it down as a WIN in my book.

If it has a new upper display tube installed and works 100% with the topper and manual, but the wrong sling shot plastics and the seller is a really awesome kind of guy but doesn't have time right now to shop it out fully....$1600 all day long.

As a reference to another SYS11 game, I got a pinbot in excellent "players" shape for $1000, meaning it needed a little cabinet touch-up & filling and slight playfield wear, but otherwise was working perfectly. These are a little more rare, so tack on like $100-200 for this title in similar condition.

Fully working, average players condition Taxis IMO average midpoint about $1000. Look for deals slightly below that for slightly worse condition, or slightly above that for better condition. So $800-$1200.

The main problem is condition. There are plenty of Taxi's out there in players condition (or worse), but not many collector quality ones. Huge differences on the price spectrum, and rightfully so.

Taxis wear hard. If the game is complete and working, $800-$1000. Deep shopped and dialed in, with some LEDs perhaps? Maybe $1200. I'm sure now that the playfields, backglasses, plastics, toppers and spinout ramp were repro'd you are going to see collectors quality games around $2500+.

Things to steer clear of: Marilyn vs Lola... really doesn't matter which one you get, don't let people tell you Marilyn is uber rare and deserves a premium. While all the parts are repro'd don't discount how expensive they are. If you find a game missing a topper, its $130. Same with Spinout being cracked.

I got mine for $500 (seller wasn't a collector and was asking $1000) two years ago. Even with the cheap price I had to replace all of the items listed above so I am underwater. Of course once my Taxi is back together I am NEVER selling it.

taxis seemed to be going for a grand awhile back, now they seem steady on the rise

I'm totally wanting a taxi too, but cant find a local one for a reasonable number.

The question you need to answer is how many taxi have you seen for sale in the last year?
People buy them and keep them.
Do you really want a taxi?

I cant blame you there. This one is rough around the edges and like I stated it's a players game at this point, but it can all be fixed but would take more time and money then I think any of you guys want to put into this title. I'm just saying what I'm into it for, which is alot for its condition and it is what it is...I'm just trying to get back as much as I can of course. Good luck in your search, I'm sure you'll do better then this one.

Sorry to pull this old post back up but I had someone asking if it was still for sale..., so this is to let everyone know that might look this up like he did that it did sell shortly after this was posted three months ago.
Thanks
