Detroit, MI

Quoted from maf-mi:That Borg ship looks GREAT!!! Why is there no value place on it? It is a work of art. Good luck with sale. I think it might be a priced a little low.
MAF,
I totally agree.
The artist that finished the Borg shipped nailed the look it needed, so for me, it is a priceless, one of a kind.
On the game price, it is a hard to quantify my ST:TNG price, while an AFM went for $6,500. That AFM was a huge deal for some lucky new owner.

I dis-agree.
There are collectors who appreciate games with NOS and cleared playfields, and *they* will pay more to reflect the restoration.
You may not have seen their home collections, yet.
Quoted from tonycip:The play field looks great but unfortunately the Whole game is only worth 1500. glws

Quoted from cfh:steve (bgresto) only had a booth once about 3 years ago at kZoo. he hasn't done that show since then. He does come to the Ann Arbor show every year though, you can find him there.
Of course his former business partner "randy" lives in just outside zkoo. but beware when dealing with him. He's a drunk, he will take your money, and you won't get a glass. even if you remove the 'drunk' factor, he's just not able to make glasses right now from what i have seen. His heat press unit has a bad pump and needs to be replaced (expensive). also steve took back his printer and his computer. So i'm not entirely sure randy could even make a glass if his life depended on it. add to that randy can't do the cuts on the masks to make a decent glass due to his issues with alcohol. and randy doesn't use the right thickness glass, nor does he use tempered glass. (he gets plate glass from the local hardware store.) So just beware.
you're far far better off dealing with steve. he can bring your glass to the Ann Arbor show and you'll save significant money on shipping. Randy did bring "seconds" to kzoo a couple years ago and put them in the kzoo auction. but they were pretty bad quality compared to what Bgresto (steve) makes.
Why worry, eh?

Quoted from Bribo13:?? for the Michigan group.
Since when is a players condition, fully working Black Hole a $1500 - $1900 game ? ( Michigan Pricing )
I am an Em collector and seldom venture into the SS word . As recent as 8-10 months ago I recall seeing Black Hole pins for $800-$1200
Now they are on the market for an Ask of $1500 - $1900 for a fully working players condition machine.
My question is this. are the ss pins and early gotts appreciating this rapidly or is the asking price for this and other early SS bally / gottlieb's just wishful thinking by the sellers and the actual sale price is most likely much lower than the ask ?

Bribo,
Condition is king!
I have seen Black Holes that are water sogged, and looked like they were dragged behind a truck. To get them squared away, it take many hours, and bucks. If someone has a 100% working machine (all displays, mechs, sounds, and boards), I think they can ask what they want.
Also, seeing 1 or 2 local games at a good price, is not indicative of market average. If you search far and wide, and include games that have historically traded for about the same price range, you can see the greater market average.
good luck, my friend
