I wouldn't do it

Not a chance in hell I make that trade.

No way! Ed

Hell no. Big Guns is maybe a $1000 game on a good day. WWFRR can easily go for $1700, not to mention that WWF is a much better game.

Nope, not an even trade in my book. Big Guns is fun, but not WWF fun. Big Guns is only a $1200 in the condition you describe.

If you need transportation, rent a minivan for $60 and do it yourself.

nope. I had a big guns, its $800-$1000 even in great shape with LEDS. WWF $1500-$1700, although replacing DMD is a few bucks. WWF is more long lasting fun.

god no.

no way jose. both great games, but not even in value. that guy should be giving you money.

I wouldn't even think about that and I am a system 11 junkie. You need at least 500-700 boot to go with a big guns.

Don't you dare make that trade! WWFRR is a top 5 game in my collection if that makes any sense.

As the macho man might say oooooohhhhhh nnnnnoooooooo!

Do you have a cash price in mind? I have a friend who's been dying for one for his son who is wheelchair bound. Please pm me.

You are really giving this guy a sweet deal. Don't want you to be taken. Even if you dropped your price to $1500 I'm sure you would get some buyer. Then rent a uhaul and pick it up. This nets you an extra $300 before the truck rental. If you need help let me know.

You should buy my Big Guns! It's in very good shape, and I'm asking a lot less than $1200!

Its funny, you asked for opinions and got several, all the same. Then you post your reasons for doing the trade. Just do it then, you don't need our approval.

Well I would say go with what makes you happy and if your tired of WWF go with BG.

By the way, if you got bored with WWF, I got bored with big guns after 1 month and I got mine for $750. Plus the height really makes it tough where to put this machine. Tallest I've seen, I had to keep mine in garage.

I hear you, I'm a huge wrestling fan but thought the PIN was obnoxious. I played one in allentown 2 years ago and they had the sound turned way up. I did like the shaker motor feature. I would say wait for allentown if you can. You can sell it there and pick up another machine at the same time. Plus by then you could probably get someone to help you move it. Believe me, big guns got old real fast and then you'll be stuck with a less desireable machine.

I would go all in on a game you love and sell a few of your games and get a HUO ST pro for under $4000.

No don't do it. Terrible trade. You will be done with Big guns in 30 days or less. IMHO. Good luck.

I would list the game on pinside or CL for trade and wait for a different dmd game. Big guns isn't going to hold your attention long if you can't get into wwf.

I also owned BG for 8 months or so.. got bored of it quickly. The laughing king gets obnoxious fast and I was never really into the soundtrack. If you got bored of WWF after a year and a half, I'd say you'd def. get tired of BG pretty fast as well. Saving the Queen gets old fast... although I will always like the catapaults launching the balls through mid-air. I felt the backglass bagatelle slows the gameplay down too much as well. Hold on to WWF until you can find a buyer or better trade.

I love big guns. I own two of them. Doesn't get nearly as much love as it should.
Awesome original theme, love the music, call outs, fast frantic flipping. Trolls and space knights!

What line on dmd is out that makes a difference also ? Have you tried to fix the dmd line I have fixed many with lines out ? I wouldn't do the trade u will be bored of bg in a month I would sell wwf for 1500 to 1700the lower the faster it will sell and buy something in particular I have a nice sst for not much more than your wwf and I promise u won't get bored as its fast and difficult as heck .anyway gl on whatever u do but I don't think u will be happy with that trade a month from now, its always great when u first get them but do they have staying power is most important

My guess is you can get $1500 for WWF. A good used DMD is about $100, so a buyer could have the game working 100% for $1600.

You could pretty easily get a Big Guns around $1000. I play one on location nearby, and enjoy it (when it works) but am not sure it would hold long-term appeal. I think it's underrated, but your guy should be giving you $300-400 to make it an even trade.

I'd say try to negotiate for another couple hundred bucks. You sound like you really want Big Guns and are desperate to dump WWF.... if so, at least try to negotiate for more.

Ya know, you could probably trade your WWF plus a couple hundred for a High Speed and Pinbot in players condition; those may well be up your alley, and both are great games that can be had relatively cheap thanks to high production numbers.

Bad move human.

Laser cue is fun, but simple. It's a real players game, and hope you like men in penis helmets shooting white blasts at each other's balls. Cause that's what is on the backglass.

I like Big Guns.

NO NO NO!!! Sell yours and buy something else

You should trade for a game around $2k ish.

That would include many games from this list
https://pinside.com/pinball/top-100/bangforbuck

And a handful of B/W, sys 3 gottliebs, sega games

I've owned both these games and I loved Big Guns but I would never make this trade. FYI I sold the Big Guns to a friend because I was out of room and I gave it to him for about half of what you could probably get for your WWF. It seems like most of them that come up for sale are always in pretty good condition, maybe they didn't get a lot of play on route back in the day?

If you're tired of the WWF, sell it perhaps and get something a bit better than a Big Guns, unless you really like big guns. In that case trade away, but just get more than a hundred bucks. More like $800

NO WAY!!! I would never do that deal. of course he gonna give you that cash major upgrade.
I would seriously just sell yours and buy something really nice for around 2 grand u will enjoy.

you may end up getting rid of your game in a trade and left sorely disappointed!
just my 2 cents

You'd be farther ahead selling it and taking the money and buyin something different. Hell I'd imagine if ya put it up for trade on here a local pinhead would prolly give ya a better deal. Wwf oat my bag either but I'm a sucker for a wide body of you were closer I'd prolly try n work something out

I'm going to agree with this. You may be trading for a game that is hard to sell/move. That means lazer cue is a $1k game? You may do as you please, but honestly you may want to try and just get a $2k dmd game, that is fun and newer with a decent resale or trade value. After that trade you are putting yourself in a hard spot to get another trade or sale....

Are you really wanting to a 80's style game? I mean....the gameplay is vastly different than a dmd game....

If you are new to the hobby and pinball. I know everyone gets excited and wants a game ASAP. I did this...I know what it's like. But honestly once you let things settle you can really find a good deal just waiting a little bit. Especially with the people on the forum. NY is fairly active in trades and sales. I think if you just stay on the lookout for a month or two, with a marketplace ad you may find a decent deal.

Yea sell yours buy a nice Williams/ bally dmd im getting a Flintstones id probably sell for around 2k or I have other nice pins id possibly sell you for around 2k just so u dont do this lol.

Wish you were closer, I'd buy your WWF for $1000

WWFRR is my only Data East too and it would probably be the last or 2nd to last pin I would get rid of.
Granted I'm lucky cause I'm a huge wrestling mark and it's an over all great pin.
But if I'm not somewhat into theme of a pin I would've want it either.
