You should have no problem finding a trade partner as so many people are wanting a SS. I had to look all over the USA to find one for sale. I bought mine from SPFXTED in NJ and am still waiting for NAVL to deliver to Las Vegas. The retailers are asking $ 7K+ now for SS's. I would sell it then take the $$ and buy the games you want. The demand is huge right now for SS and the supply is super limited as most owners say it's never leaving their collections. Either way hope the right deal finds you.

The only recent sale (3 months) for SS on eBay was on Feb. 6th. It had a starting price of $.99, received 18 bids and ended at $4550:
In the prior 3 months there were buy it now's of $5500 and $5250, and two other actual auctions that went for $4402 and $4925.
I understand pinflation has been crazy but it goes both ways, at least in the case of TZ and NGG. IMO TZ is worth more and the sales data backs that up.
As for the NGG and Harley, I think that's pretty a pretty even swap based on value alone. The thing to consider there though is that you could probably lure out top-of-the-wishlist pins with SS as tradebait. If NGG and Harley are your wishlist pins then great, but if not...
That could be said of almost any pin. If you want a specific pin and you want it now, it's extremely likely you'll overpay.
I paid $3200 for a routed one a few months ago. I like a clean game that plays well but am not in pursuit of perfection. Mine wouldn't leave at 5K. I like it that much.
I bought two of these to restore, one was 900 bucks and the other one was 23.
I had a new PF and a whole bunch of NOS parts to build another one but sold them all off when I couldn't find another base game.
I looked for 2 years before giving up as the price of this game continued to rise.
Blown out junk starts at 45 out here if you can find one.
Big mistake selling #2 before I had another base game.
I wouldn't sell it or trade it unless you are sure you are tired of it, you may never get a shot at another one.
I would consider selling it. It is in gorgeous condition, only one light out but 100% otherwise. The backglass is immaculate and so is the playfield with zero fade on cabinet. Also has the bony flippers mod and the lights in the skull pile. Just installed new ramp protector too. Free admission to SS owners only Pinside forum thread included!!
So, SS in virtually mint condition.......$7,000.00.
A steal at any price. It'll be worth ten in 2 years if this keeps up! lol
Thanks spfxted and to all.
It has boogie men, but they are not dancing. No need for a Cliffy's yet, but eventually I would get one for the spider hole. The hole still looks good though for now. I did install a spider ramp protector from Pinball Heaven. Was gonna buy this amazing TV set mod that shows Elvira images....great mods available for this pin
Ted - I think your next SS upgrade should be a HEP, Keller, or Mccune (take your pic) high end restored one. You'll have no more upgrade options from then on.
Quoted from spfxted:ooooo! That looks pretty sweet!
It does look nice from the pictures presented. If not already on the machine, glow in the dark bones on the boney beast & claw globes would be really nice. I don't like the black (unfinished) black globe claws... I love when I turn off my SS after a game a two and all of the glow plastics are glowing brightly!
Quoted from RustyLizard:I paid $3200 for a routed one a few months ago. I like a clean game that plays well but am not in pursuit of perfection. Mine wouldn't leave at 5K. I like it that much.
Exactly.... Find a routed SS for $3200, that you wouldn't let go for $5k. Human nature folks and
another fact as to why Pins are on the rise. So yes, SS could potentially be a $7k Pin to the right person, but with more folks holding on to theirs, expect to pay $5k for one.
I had a guy and his kid come and play my EATPM I had posted on CL about a month ago. They played game after game, 1/2 hr at least. He went on and on about if I wanted to sell My SS, how much they are worth, and he would buy it in a heart beat. Said he would give answer about EATPM in a day or so. Two weeks past... Nothing. I called him and listed SS on CL for I think $5600. A week after that, he lowballs me at $4k!?!?! I didn't really want to sell anyway, but cash is nice, right? I will Keep mine and try to still sell the EATPM. I think you should do the same. 
A nice SS is Hard to come by, I think they only made 2000, or so units. I hope he reads this, I figure, he is a member... He saved me from a crushing case of seller's remorse. Thanks!
Every pin of mine is always for sale - including SS, but the question is how much you would have to pay to drag it out. I'm pretty sure mine would leave for $7K.

Quoted from spfxted:Nooooooooooo!
