Shadow, The
Bally, 1994This topic is closed.
Selling my Bally Shadow. Included is a nos translite (mine is perfect anyways) loos like there was a paint chip on the nos translite and someone attempted to repair it. Everything done to this game is on a piece of paper pictured in the coin box. Best playing by far, fine tuned by pro tournament players, and also play tested in a tournament. $3700

Only thing wrong is the insert pictured, an wear started at the sanctum so I placed a decal over it to prevent further damage
Quoted from Pinwow:Lol weir, are you going to Ohio this year? We need to talk
Yep - I'll be at OH and Louisville - see you there.
Quoted from Pinwow:Wow John! That's quite ironic coming from you. I'm sure if you were posting you would ask $4700 LoL

to be honest, 3700 sounds more like a price on ebay or even a starting price on the craig's, hoping that someone who doesn't do their homework buys it. just my experience based on what i've seen so far.
Quoted from Luke_Nukem:Give the dude a break, Shadow is every bit as good as any other game selling for $3500-$4000 right now. Good luck with the sale!
He can certainly ask whatever he wants and GLWS. There are opinions on what a game should be worth... and then there is reality. If market dictates the price then based on recent sales of Shadow ... it might be tough to find a buyer at $3700 especially with the few issues noted. There was a recent "excellent codition" Shadow on here that lasted several weeks at just 3k I believe.
Shadow is an awesome game, and a super clean one might command this much, but it's tough with the insert ghosting and the mismatched Sanctum decal. Decal could probably be fixed, not sure what it would take to fix the ghosting. Maybe one of the needle injection tricks? Need vid on that one.

Yeah right Andrew !! Your totally wrong, I'd be asking somewhere more in the $10K range.

With this asking price you are probably going to need some pics of the sanctum pre-cover up.
Can only assume it is totally blown out under there since it was not merely covered with clear mylar???
Lol john,
Say what you guys want, none other play as good. Most people here are not tournament players and are probably collecting for art purposes or they like a certain "feature on machine." I am a tournament player, was tuned by another tournament player ranked in the top 10, and me.... Buy machines and play em, dont collect them for art pieces.
Thanks
Sanctum decal will not be taken off because I do not have another one on me and was hard to match up everything to look exact..... I'll jump through 1,000,000 hoops for someone asking about a machine and then in the end say "no thanks" if you're seriously interested I can start jumping through hoops....
Thanks
I'm sure seller is willing to negotiate price. $3700 is high, but it's just his starting point id think.
Nice machine. Just got one myself.
Glwts
Hard to get anyone "seriously interested" at that price...
IMHO those sanctum decals are god-awful looking. I ended up making my own decal because I couldn't stand how bad the ebay ones were.

Which means nothing, really.
Quoted from ChadNC:And some say the pinball bubble has busted and prices are falling.
The cheaper B-C titles in the $1500-$3000 range will continue to rise a little in price while the higher end A titles will continue to fall... which is what we are seeing now.
The hobby is getting too expensive and too saturated so many people will start flocking to the lower priced pins leaving the higher end stuff behind... for the most part.
Quoted from Pinwow:Buy machines and play em, dont collect them for art pieces.
Or sell them like your "tournament tuning" job is worth $1,000 to us.
You don't know me and you don't know how I tune pins. Can't get games for cheap so you can flip them
So because you are a pro we should say thank you for touching this pin, blessing it with awesomeness, and just pay whatever you ask?
Yeah, you're the only one that can rebuild flippers, shop and make sure everything is tip top. You should have no problem with your pinside cred here now 
Let's not bash here guys.
Pinwow is selling at HIS price. It's his machine. If someone wants to pay that price, so be it, even if most agree it's a bit high.
Let the market decide the price.

similarly, one could say
"Memebers commenting are giving THEIR opinion. It's their opinion. If someone wants to share their opinion, so be it, even if most agree that everybody has an opinion.
Let the community decide if a price is so high that they feel it is necessary to make comments to protect an unsuspecting noob from getting taken advantage of"
The guys asking a lot, and this is a forum. If you dont want comments don't start a thread and keep it to the market, which we all look at.
Quoted from teekee:The guy posted a pin for sale for his price… buy it or go away.
You never have understood the whole 'discussion' part of a discussion forum, have you?
There are places for items to be listed for sale that simply can't be discussed by the peanut gallery. I suspect people know these exist, yet post here to the forum instead.
Their choice....
