There is no such thing as a tasteful LED.

You did ask for a critique.

$2700~?

Redeyes, Redeyes, Redeyes. I'll..forkGIVE if you'll..forkGET.

Sorry, but I have been wanting to do that.

I think I met you at York. Did you have the W?D and BSD at York? If so, you were tied up when I was leaving and didn't want to interupt.

Anyway, why not keep it to play for a bit? Do you not like the game? Great flow and just enough to be really challenging to get to and complete the wizard mode.

It looks like it's missing one of the Mongol figures. I also don't know what the deal is with that piece of metal spanning the entrance to the right ramp. There should be a clear plastic there. It should clean up nicely, but it will probably need a new set of clear plastics. Fortunately, repros are now available for the Phurba and the Mongol. In today's market, I'd say this machine would be somewhere in the $2,000-$2,500 range.

I disagree, but I wont thumb down

2500+ all day long. These things dont sit on the market long at all

I just sold mine fairly recently for 2500CAN, it was really nice. Bit of sanctum wear, bit of cab scratches. Super nice playfield, all pieces intact. Prices are higher up here though...

Anyone missing or have busted phurbas, Brock from pinball customs makes the repros.

He also has my old Shadow too which I really miss playing. Maybe when he gets bored of it I will buy it back

Threads like this always generate artificially high prices. What I imagine someone else might be willing to pay is always going to be higher than what I would actually fork over in cash. Put it up for sale or trade and see what kind of actual offers you get.

Meet me half way to Cincy and I will give you $2200 Asap

What's amazing is that you could get a mint one for about $2K a year ago.

Ryan (IIRC): My vision generally cannot deal with LEDs.

Hey, we were talking trades there involving your W?D and BSD. If the W?D is still with you, PM me if you are still interested.

Did you get the initial Redeyes quote?

Dan

is there such a thing as a mint one?

Sorry, I should have said near mint. Rich Huff sold one at Expo last year for less than $2K. I saw and played the game. It was a gorgeous example.

Man, that is what I get for not capre pinballem! Crap! That was the nicest W?D I have ever seen.

Got a TS and a very nice one at that. BSD still in your clutches?

Have you seen Mystery Men? The Blue Raja, a rather effete, British accented, utensil-throwing superhero wannabe in a green quilt and white turban is back in his room praticing his rap before his mother bursts in. He just got back from a rather unsuccessful fight against the Redeyes at a nursing home.

Really a quirky movie, but I think it is funny. Ben Stiller, Paul Rubens, William H. Macy, Jeneane Garafollo, Greg Kinnear, Eddie Izzard, Hank Azaria, Jeoffrey Rush and Tom Waits. Great Cast!

Good pin theme.

Dan

I concur, a year ago it was a $2000 pin but like most other desirable DMDs it's crept up.

Lately they seems to run from $2200-$2800 in decent shape. I would think with the missing mongol, broken Phurba and missing clear plastic it would be on the lower end of the range. Decent looking example though.

The ramps are rough on this one. I would say $2k. I just sold mine last week.

Price checks are going to yield a high percentage of BS estimates IN MY OPINION. Owners quote a high price and buyers quote a low one. Disinterested parties typically abstain from commenting.

LOL! that was hilarious! Unfortunately, not always true........

Dan

Whuhoppin?

Dan

I think mine was nicer, intact and much cleaner..... and I sold it a couple months ago for $2400 (in the midwest).

I had a fair amount of interest at that point (that was my asking price), but it wasn't like it sold in 24 hours or anything.

So I'm going to say $2100-$2400, depending on the motivation of all involved.

I actually agree with this to a certain degree however owners and buyers are typically the ones most closely following the current market prices for said pin. Disinterested parties would naturally abstain because they're, well, disinterested and have no idea what the current market price is. In full disclosure I own a Shadow consequently I try to temper my natural bias and provide what I believe to be an accurate estimate. Now I don't know that this comment was specifically directed towards me but I think the range given to be pretty close to what I have seen as of late. My best guess, as stated above, would put it at the bottom of the range indicated (say $2200-$2400).

Your larger point though is a good one, all owners like to see their pins appreciate and if your in the market to buy you want to push the prices lower. Therefore it's good idea to take all such estimates with a grain of salt but that doesn't mean it's necessarily BS.

I am leaning more and more toward shadow for my first pin. Anyone close want to sell one?

Too much passion going on for people to accept opinions.

Pinballs are equivalent to classic or desiresd sports cars.

Condition, mileage, mods and desirability dictate price. There is no exact science.

I have no dogs in this game but they have been going for over 2700 since June and will only be going up. Yours is not mint but still mostly complete. All shadows have rough ramps and non-perfect wire forms. They all have wear and sloppy diverter as well as welds on all ramp entrances and the motor bracket. With that said this looks to be right about average. Mint ones will be over 3k

I'd love for prices to be what they were last year as I bough my machine from someone who found it in a barn for $200. But those times are long gone thanks to Craigslist and forums like this

Hey Randy,
I didn't even read any of the responses. Sorry if i offended you or anyone else. I agree with the comment you made above but i do feel that some owners and buyers intentionally try to move the market price based on some of these price check threads. I think your estimate is "in the ballpark".

I am officially bowing out of these kind of threads along with any of the "vs." threads. There's just too much hostility around here lately and i see i unknowingly threw some fuel on the fire.

Once again, sorry.

-dave

$2800

Hey Dave, no worries.

No offense taken and I agree that some do try to move the market with these threads but some are simply trying to be helpful.......... The trick is determining which is which.

Not to hijack, but why is this? My Indy is a reimport and has this too.. looks like there was once a sign screwed in to the side. Any insight?

Maybe instead of stickers, the ops over there are required to mount some kind of plaque to the game with screws.

Uhhhg.....too far away. I want a shadow and I am getting my Congo ready for trade

I just bought one in Illinois 3 months ago for $2400, and it looks a lot like yours except everything was intact. Mine was also less dirty, but that all looks like it will clean up fine.
Great game-it's making me a better player, because if you miss a shot, it's usually a drain.

My guess would be around $2200-2400.

My offer stands.

Unfortunately, my better half has banned me from pinball related road trips until our daughter in one year old.

No I offered you $2200 if you met me half way to Cincinnati! ^

Shadow is an awesome pin that for the past few years now has finally been getting some love. The prices have been rising on them since folks are starting to look into these titles being that the usual A titles are becoming harder to find, and realizing how nice this machine is. I have one in my collection and their she'll sit, it a fun pin but a shooters game for sure. Good luck with the sale as I'm sure it will move quickly, but if it don't it really isn't a bad title to have in your line as well.
