Any members in this thread thinking about selling their Scared Stiff pinball? Don't laugh, it doesn't hurt to ask.

Need some input from some of you SS members.
I am looking at one that is in decent condition, basically a players game. Cabinet looks great, playfield definitely not great. Look at the pics below and tell me what you all think. I know the playfield will need to be repaired (the worst area is where the word "Terrifying" was touched up, and the touch up was lousy). I know these pins are hard to find right now and wanted to get opinions on what would be the going rate for one in this condition. Being told by seller that game plays fine.
Help me out guys and I may join the club soon....Thanks

Thank you NimblePin for the feedback. I do have a few more pictures that were sent to me but I didn't want to overload the SS members site with a bunch of pictures (I can send more if it is fine with the group). I wonder what the chances of one selling at CAX, seems like you can't find many of these right now.

I have been told that it all works fine. I sent an email tonight asking if it has any mods, leds, hacks on boards, cracked ramps, spider wheel working properly, etc. and waiting to hear back (probably tomorrow). He originally wanted $5500 for it. I emailed him and offered $4800 and the lowest he said he would go is $5000, so that is where it is at right now. On top of that I would have to pay the paypal cost approx $145 and shipping so I am looking at $5500 for it. That is why I am here asking the ones that actually have the game and can give me good advice.
I will post back more when I hear back from seller.....Thanks Again

Yep bigdaddy07 that is what I figured....as soon as I pull the trigger then I will find one in better shape a month or two from now.

Hey Ted, you mentioned Ebay...don't they take a cut from the seller if we do it on Ebay and wouldn't it have to go to auction?

NimblePin mentioned the decal for the Terrifying area which isn't such a bad idea then place mylar over the decal...it would look much better for sure. I know the Cliffy's would work well over the kickouts to cover the small amount of damage around the holes.

Haven't heard back from seller today but he has been good at getting back to me so I should hear back sometime this afternoon or this evening.

Here are a few more photos....like I said Cab looks great.

Hey Ted...waiting to hear back on mods and a few other questions about ramps/hacks and such as soon as I hear back I will post what I hear.

Also here are a few more playfield pics....

New to this title....what exactly is the back box insert on this game? My guess the plastic part that is against the glass but is separate from the spinning spider (basically the part the encompasses the spider in the backglass?

OK cool....I will ask him a few more questions....if you think of anything else let me know.

Again, THANK YOU all for the help.

Hey Guys....decided to hold off (For Now) on the SS I was looking at....didn't like the amount of damage on the kickout on the playfield and it just didn't seem to be lining up with the seller (Not answering all questions and I had a bad gut feeling so the search will continue for now.

I want to thank everyone for the input on the machine.

Bigdaddy....This is the back box insert you speak of correct?
I found another SS (this one in Georgia) that I have been trying to get and I asked about the back box insert and this is what was sent. Looks broke to me, thanks for pointing that out.
Yet, another one I will have to pass on.

Better Picture

I finally got a Stiffy!

Normal wear around the holes and just a bit of fade on left side (need to get Cliffy's). Best part it was a 40 minute drive and here I thought I was going to have to pay for shipping to get one of these. Patience paid off for once.IMG_3817.JPGIMG_3818.JPGIMG_3819.JPG

Hey Ted,

Just the mylar was worn through but paint is all there. I am tempted to pull all the mylar off of the game but that wouldn't happen for some time. Want to play it for a while.

I posted this yesterday and thought it would fit in nice here as well. It might help someone out looking to repair an issue with a spider motor.

Anyone install the new Spider Plastic to the back box light board? I plan on applying mine new one soon and wanted to know if anyone has applied one and what they used to apply it? Glue, double sided tape, etc etc.
Originally they were glued on but what a pain to get removed from the board.

Thanks for any ideas for application.

Hey Amendes..."New Spider Plastic"... It is the flat panel plastic that attaches to the swinging board inside the back box, the swinging board with GI lighting and some flashers attached. The arm from the spider motor goes through the middle of it and many of the original plastics are are cracked. Make sense?

Cool....Thanks. I just sanded my board down yesterday and am ready to install today. Will give it a shot.
