Great post. And thank you. Feels good to be part of the club Waited a long time to find this one. Patience thing was wearing thin, but luckily you guys are great mentors and I didn't jump at a few of the earlier ones.

You got an opinion to go with that information?

On what?

Last game I bought(about 9 months ago) WWFRR, I gave $900 for.

You guys act like this shit isn't available. Where were you when I was selling the Baywatch for $1500 and it looked like it just came out of the box? If i'm selling a DM for $1300, that means I have to get it for about $900-1000. Otherwise it's not worth my time to even load it up. I have a buddy that has a DM that is damn nice, and looks pretty close to HUO. If you guys want a good one, I think he'll let his go for $2k, but it's way above your average $1300 DM.

I'm just wondering why you posted that I suppose. Given it was in reply to something I posted I was wondering what your point was. Was it just to show off what a good deal you got? Was it suggesting that is the normal price for a WH2O?

My post was made to compare what is often stated on this forum to to be the going rate for certain games with my own experience of trading values. I'm not sure what you posted was supposed to add to that. You must've had a reason for posting.

I suspect you were just trying to wind me up though.

You crack me up dude. You say DM can't sell for $1200, then you offer up a nice one for $2000. I'll give him your price of $1200 and not a penny more.

No, I said you have a hard time moving them for $1200. Usually end up sitting on them a month or two at that price. If you guys think $1800 is the norm. One for 2k that is unfaded nice original cabinet, no broken plastics, no wear playfield, or cracked ramps, must be a steal and the prices you spew. So I offered up a local good deal for you guys, that I know is close by to me. Snatch it up if you think it's such a score.

The 2 at the zoo were apparently pretty beat up and the price reflected that. Just what I was told.

I didn't see them so I don't know. The one Paul had at MPE was pretty nice and didn't sell.

Glad to see WWFRR getting its rightful love!

Shadow is an AMAZING pin. When I'm dialed in, there's NO pin that makes me feel like I am playing that playfield like an orchestra conductor waving his baton.

And it's cool to watch someone play well on as well. Great spectator pin.

Put a good subwoofer in and bass effects are great.

The speed on shadow can get ridonkulous!!!

What's the point in comparing prices for pins on different continents? You think too much, everyone on the Woz forum misses you

Neo - To prove my point, send me pics of nice DM, and if it's as nice as you claim it is I'll drive to Wisconsin next week to pick it up.

Definitely, I paid $750 for mine...

I remember passing on a $650 Baywatch that I assume needed a bit of TLC... I did not want to end up dumping $400 on a display or anything stupid.

And what if I liked/loved the game? I am out of room, what would I have sold to keep it? What would guests think about having that game in my collection? That I am a rabid Baywatch fan? Oh the shame

I guess from a flipping perspective I made a bad call, but if I had the room I would have made it mine. $650 DMD's on the island I live on turn up... basically never.

What's the point in anything really? Go troll everyone else on this forum for discussing prices even though they live on opposite sides of the continent why don't you? I think it's very interesting that pin prices can inflate in one country yet not so much in another. You say you don't yet you posted anyway. Go troll someone else.

Helluva put down Jonno. Maybe you should think more before you post your dull, dull posts.

I don't miss them. The only reason I spent any time there was because I was excited about WOZ but then I made the huge mistake of saying what I thought once the game was actually revealed. How stupid of me to discuss WOZ on a WOZ forum. Is everyone still super excited over there? Who's going to win the signed translite for guessing the date of the first delivery? I hope it's you j.

But was it working 100%. All switches, coils, lights, etc.???

If your serious, i'll call him up and let him know.

Funnily enough my guess is In 3 days time. I'm hearing rumours the first pin has already left the factory. That would be the funniest piece of karma in a long time

Give him a call and send me a PM with the outcome.

I genuinely hope you win although I'm not sure why.

Yep, the diverter was bent, but working. Straightened it, and good to go...

JDs were going for $1600 to $1800 over two years ago. Now you see nice ones going for 2k to 2.4k. This games is slowly growing its fan base and with many people reporting back they have since come to appreciate all the awesomeness that JD is. This game is a widebody that is packed with mechanical parts and is still underpriced, as most dmd's, go for 3k minimum.

That being said my vote is for JD. :-

JD were $1000-1200 2 years ago and for 5 years before that. for 2k, it better look damn nice.

Yea, I had a fully working JD up about two years ago for $1200 and it was like pulling teeth getting someone to buy the damn thing. I ended up letting it go for less! I also had a DM and while it has some good flow and decent audio, it got boring a little more quickly than I had expected.

You got it in the basement?

Nice! Looking forward to playing it.

I got 4.9 billion today. Still shy of the HS board....

JD remains my #1 bang for your buck pin for home use. Prices are rising, but as long as it sells on average for under $3k, it will probably remain #1 on my list.
Of the other top 4 vote getters, I might have to put DM next on my list. If you have a larger collection of games, then I think games like WCS or BSD would make for a better fit.

Well, maybe it's time to realize that what happens in flyover WI isn't really representative of the country or world at large?

We're not?

Well at least we are pretty close to Chicago, the current center of the Pinball universe

Now that my JM is dialed in, I might have to wish I could change my vote.....

LAH

Does it really matter, anything you can get a good deal on nowadays, is a good deal. Some people must be loaded with those prices.

This is true. The pinball universe is 45 mins from us. and always has been. So it's you guys that are screwed up on stuff, not us.
