John is still on planet earth. They're definitely trending up and we just sold a bunch of huo documented Bally's for a ton but if they are not exceptional condition they're not garnering near the dollar amounts.

By exceptional I mean little to no playfield or cabinet wear, no cupped inserts, little to no planking, no backglass issues. Mechanical issues can be there because these are the easiest to fix games ever.

Honestly the best way to price games is to search archived classified ads on pinside for the title you are seeking. Look at the unsold and amount of days. Look at the sold and the prices they sold for of it is unknown then the list price vs. Amount of days listed. We've had about 80-100 games or so rotated/sold out of the parlor this year and that's what we do, sometimes we take a loss sometimes we make some scratch. I really believe price checks are for newbies and games that can't be found in the archives within the last year. And other rarities.

In your case we sold 2 Harlem globetrotters this year 1 for like 700 with alot of wear 1 for 1200 that was descent.

When putting in a CPR field and glass you can usually expect to lose some money on your purchase if you resell and probably all of your labor. Many of us pay more to have CPR fields reworked and it's usually because we love the game, enjoy the restoration journey, want a game nobody else has played.

There's also alot of difference between a CPR field game and a really nice example.
