I try to bite my tongue on FS threads, but since you asked...I don't think it sells as quickly as you want it to even at $2500, but that's a much more realistic starting point.

Here is an eBay listing you may want to keep an eye on:

ebay.com link: Star Wars Episode 1 Pinball Machine

My guess is that someone offers him $2k off-eBay and he pulls the listing. But what do I know, maybe someone snags it at the BIN price of $2250. How long either, or neither, of those scenarios takes to evolve would give you a good bit of information on where the market is SWEP1 right now.

My advice - take down that eBay listing and read j_m_'s post above about pictures. As it stands, you have zero chance of anyone using that "buy it now" price and probably a less than 50/50 chance of any bid at all (but if you do, it'll be extremely likely it's a single bid for the $2299. After fees you might as well have Ted come pick it up for $2k and save yourself the hassle).

$2299 isn't even that great of a price on a SWE1, so if you want to get any more than that you will need to represent immaculate condition to any potential buyers.

Can't say I understand why he won't sell it for $2k outside of eBay but will sell it at $2069 on eBay (after fee net of $1900 or so?), but there you go.
