Hello, I have been going back and forth in my mind if I would want to trade my TAF for a Metallica Pro. For about the past two months I have been wanting a Metallica Pro very badly. I have a TAF that I like pretty well, but don't play anymore. I played the living heck out of it for the first few months I had it and I probably only turn it on about 6x a year now.

I haven't priced a TAF in a while so I'm not even sure how fair of a trade it would be for either party. My TAF is pretty nice for a non-HUO game. I would call it a nice previously routed game. The main things about it are no magnet burn, no planking and the mansion is pretty nice, but it does have a few small black lines around the "windows" that is missing. Also the cabinet is pretty decent with only a little white showing through on the decals around the flipper buttons.

If I had my way I would keep the TAF and just buy a MET, but I don't have the funds to do that now and probably won't for about three months and don't know if I can hold out that long without getting a Metallica

Any advice or suggestions?

Thanks!

I would think mine is pretty comparable in shape to this one: https://pinside.com/pinball/market/ad/21513

I don't have new plastics or ramps though, but mine are pretty decent.

Yes, this is the correct price. The $7500+ is probably what the premiums bring; don't know because I haven't priced them.

Kind of my thoughts also, especially on getting another one. The only reason I'm reluctant to let it go is because TAF is the first game that I played as a kid and what got me back into pinball, I would like to keep it in my collection, but then again I've turned into more of a pinball hobbyist than a Addams Family pinball hobbyist if that makes any sense.

And I'm not sure what mine is worth.

I have one or two local that might be interested in a trading, but I'm not 100% on those yet. If I can't do a trade I may just keep TAF for now and save up and buy the MET in a few months, if I can hold off that long, when I have the money saved up. I think Stern will be running MET Pro through the end of the year, but as is a lot with Stern the info hasn't been released when they will stop making it and the end of the year is just speculation.

I guess my next question is if I do decide to outright sell my TAF to fund the MET what is a decent un-restored TAF like mine worth? I know it may be hard to say a price without pictures, but I don't have access to any pics right now.

That's what I was thinking, in pretty much the same shape as the link I posted of the other one I found for sale.

We were talking value of my game and some people said they needed to see pics, so I snapped a few off when I got home from work. What do you guys think she's worth?

Yeah I always think would like having it in my collection and fun to play it every now and again, but I don't have enough money to play that game, literally!

I'm thinking even trade give or take a little also, but haven't really watched the market on this title.

Both super fun games in my opinion. I had a lot of fun with my TAF. Too bad we aren't closer or it sounds like it would be a done deal!

Thanks, I think it is a pretty nice TAF example for a non-restored game. That's good to hear on the sale of yours at a week or under.

I never really got frustrated with TAF other than knowing the game inside out like the back of my hand. I do REALLY like TZ and would be interested in it or a GNR, but I have MET on the brain for now, not saying I wouldn't take either of the previously mentioned.

Seems to be a fair amount of interest/PMs since I posted pics, might have to make an official FS/trade thread.
