What DMDs do you have and are thinking of trading? I have a TX-sector and may be driving down to TPF so a deal could be worked out.
PM me if you want to discuss.

Quoted from 320Gigabytes:The last one that sold before this one was over $2k too
last 2 verified sales for working Tx-sectors I know of were 2400 and 2500.
Quoted from herbertbsharp:I want one but $2500 is ridiculous
agreed. I feel similar about many Sys11 games that I would like to own (and TX is even more rare than most of them).
reality is neither of us gets to set the market unfortunatley.
Quoted from TxPinball:Yeah, I tried to purchase the last one you had for sale.
I have not sold a TX ever???
I do current have 2 of them (1 working and 1 not; currently). Eventually both will be working and I will sell/trade one of them.
Quoted from herbertbsharp:Hell you got yours for $750, right?
yup, 3 years ago, hacked and non-working.
Same time when nice ES were 1k, DH were 1400, etc...
If anything the reality is that TX is a tough to find game and many have realized it is super fun. Heck I love it so much that I bought a second just so I could combine to make one mint example (also have a NOS and cleared pf to go in at some point).
I understand that many just think "Gottlieb, LOL, it is not worth that" Reality is like everything; supply and demand is all that matters. Demand has gone up int he past few years as people have been able to play nice examples and realize it rocks (great gameplay like many sys11 style, amazing sounds, just plain fun and has that 'just 1 more' effect)!
I am not sure why supply is so low but I get teh impression that many went overseas originally and the pressboard cabs never held up well. They also did not earn well on route in the day so guessing many were parted?
Quoted from herbertbsharp:I still think it's 1500-2k tops. There are always exceptions though.
Reality is the exception would be 1500.
I can tell you that TX-Sector and Centaur are the top 2 games I get cold calls (unsolicited PMs) about. Seems lots of people looking and 2000+ is the typical offer). You have to realize that there is a whole different world of people interested in working examples of rare games.
Quoted from herbertbsharp:And that's kinda my point.... desperate dude won't even pay that or go that far....
but the last 2 known sales both sold for 24-2500 and sold quickly? Seems liek lots of desperate people out there if we go by your assumptions 
Quoted from herbertbsharp:It doesn't boot and has some playfield wear
seems pretty typical for the era. I am learning slowly, but it seems #1 is always do the gound mods and check connectors.
After that check the daughter board junk.
Quoted from jwo825:The daughter boards are an easy fix with an aftermarket replacement board.
which board do you use?
also sorry to OP for the thread jacking, but at least it is keeping your WTB bumped
