I traded a acdc for a completely restored afm with every bell and whistle out there straight across. When we added all mods on both machines we agreed each machine was worth 8k I personally wouldn’t give a additional $1500. I might go up to $750 on top but thats it.

For that title, with the original playfield, I'd ask for really sharp close up pics of the artwork in the center to make sure the insert edges aren't visible. Some of the artwork is large (e.g. all their faces and the flaming pinball) and doesn't have keylines so if the insert edges start to show it detracts from the value.

At the end of the day, if it's a fair trade is ultimately going to be up to you, but HTH.

You can't really add up all the mods like a spreadsheet when trying to put a value on a game. Personally, I'd have a hard time giving that much on top. If it were me in that position, I'd have to look at the fact that I could get a NIB MBR Classic and add the color option for around the cost of my ACDC Premium on the used market. Good points from others regarding possible playfield issues being original. Does the trade game have new decals or original? I imagine you'll find wrinkling around those pincab leg protectors also.

I'd say its worth it... I'd try to offer him 1,200. due to flipper wear.

I wouldn't do it....I'd sell your ACDC (approx $6200) and then buy a nice HUO remake...u can get a brand new one for the $7700 you'd have into the proposed deal.

How much are the remakes? I'd rather sell my acdc and buy a new remake. Just me though.

He can get a brand new one delivered to his door (with color) for less than he would have into the proposed deal....

I wouldn't put $1500 on top

Who’s picking up and dropping off? How far is the pin from you? Sometimes when someone is willing to do the driving it’s worth the extra money.

That's what I thought. Unless you're collecting only original games, I'd buy a new remake with better animations, sculpts, colors, and all new electronics for less than this trade proposal.

I wouldn't do it with the $1,500 fair even deal yes.

Guys come on now. Original MB do not go for 6000. It has color, is in fairly nice shape. It is a fair trade with 1500 on top. If I owned the MB and was asked to go straight across it would be a hard no from me. OP likes original not remakes

AC/DC is a better game in my opinion.

I agree its worth more...Heres my point....his AC/DC is worth probably $6200 + $1500....so he would have $7700 into that game....

Heres a original MB in better condition for $7500

sure its worth trading, but not for $1500....maybe $1k at the most as it need new decals, which is a total pain in the ass to change

I'm a purist "adds mods and leds" lol
So my worthless point of view is this. The remake values are holding steady so the remake vs original value is kind of a mute point isn't it? Value is value remake or not.
I do agree, if I were the OP Id sell my pin and buy a NIB remake and not look back.

I’d say add 500 tops to your game to get MB. You may like original better, but remember you can get a new MB with color for 6500ish. Cheaper if you do an open show special.

So in my case my acdc was completely modded out and the guy I traded put the value of my pin at 8k. I put his at 8k as well and I had to put a color dmd in the Afm. Now for you describing your barebones acdc premium I would expect you to add additional $1200 on top not the $750 I originally quoted. I too prefer the original over the remakes for the exact same reasons as you. I say get what you want and play the shit out of it!

no way in hell id add money to the deal. all kinds of mb on here for around 6400-6600. ac/dc is the better game by far.

I guess I can understand his frustration, but he's probably pissed, because he knew it was a smoking deal. The reality is both parties need to be happy, and his game just isn't worth it. If theres one thing I've learned in this hobby is patience typically pays off....be patient and you'll find a deal that works for u

I understand if you want an original but you should probably just sell AcDc and buy a NIB MB.
