Quoted from Khabbi:Timber is worth more than that IMO, it's extremely rare and highly desirable in any rare arcade collection. I have only seen 2-3 of them for sale in 10 years of arcade collecting.
I have four sitting in the warehouse, but yes they are rare. They just don't pull over 3k unless you have Mark build you a new cabinet and completely refurbish everything on the game. I mean everything and then they are 4500.
Quoted from AstonEnthusiast:I had a couple jack and cokes when I put them up last night to make it a bit easier...lol And I noticed that the verbiage insinuates a straight trade towards a TAFG or IJ. Obviously, that's not the case. Cash on my end for the right pin of course
I'm not aware of a publicly for sale Timber in years. The two that I have first hand knowledge of were all private sales that slightly exceeded your evaluation. They don't surface and are highly desirable. Tapper's have always had a cool cult following, but with barcades very popular, they seem to be more in demand. I thought I would toss this trade bait out there on Pinside before posting this at KLOV. Would prefer to trade towards the two pins I mentioned, but who knows...
Thanks everyone for the interest. All PM's responded to.
I sold one about 2 years ago via ebay, fully working and nice. Bidding ended at 2500. I was bummed but that is the game you play on ebay when you don't have a reserve. That being said, few people know how many of them I have an are constantly asking to buy them. You have a highly desirable game in the Timber. If I were you, give it a second thought before you let it go.
I think what you are offering is great trade bait and hopefully you'll find a person that is willing to deal on a pin for you. I am sure you are getting some offers to buy the games outright and if you are, make them pay. Those games are not coming down in value any time soon.
