An offer you can’t refuse

Place a For Sale/Trade ad and find out.

With the clown puke leds, tacky mods, and the fact its a LOTR but not nearly as good? A half eaten moldy piece of bread and $500 for their trouble of hauling it away.

haha, i was gonna be a lil less harsh but yeah ^^

OP, bottom line is excessive mods and lighting limits the appeal. You and your buddies may love it but you have to find a buyer that appreciates your vision. People will like it or hate it, unfortunately that's the way it goes. It's just a game, do yourself a favor and don't take any of these comments personally.

Harsh criticism of lighting aside, I don't think mods add any value, though practical ones like cliffies and protectors are nice.

It's a fun game, so it has that going for it.

Median value looks to be about $4k usd, which is a weird price point, so offer for trade +/- cash for other titles you enjoy.

It is your choice of colors. Green and purple make it look like a prop for joel schumacher's next batman flick.

How much do you want for it?

On the topic of mods you'll get plenty of responses like this:

Which is fine, he shouldn't pay for things that he doesn't value. But it means that you need to either a) accept that there's a smaller pool of buyers that will dig the mods you added and be willing to pay a premium for them, and be prepared to wait a bit for one of them to come along b) sell to a buyer like this guy and accept that he's not going to add extra value for the mods, or c) strip the mods and sell them separately so you've got a more stock machine to sell.

On the topic of lighting, if you've got colored LEDs in the GI there are plenty of people (me included) that won't like it. Sort of the same as the mod issue but a much cheaper fix since we're probably talking $20 worth of bulbs and an hour or two to swap them out.

The pin stadium isn’t making all your plastics green red and purple, this is a double dose of color bombing!

It’s a piece of cake for somebody to swap out the GI bulbs to white and the pin stadium can be set to a neutral color as well. If the machine is nice none of this stuff matters.

Disagree, people who install mods always feel they add value to their machine. If I am buying something and it has a mod I want I might value it some over not having it. If It is something I don't want it ads no value. If It is a pain to remove then it is a negative. Ignoring a number of the things on this that I think are tacky/over the top having to go and pull all the gi and replace the leds is negative. 25 for bulbs and at least an hour maybe two of my time? Not how I want to spend my day with a new machine that the owner is going to ask going rate or over (due to a bunch of mods I already don't want). I'd rather buy one without any of it for the same price instead.

Iron Man Pro is the best pin <$4500 IMO. Add some cash on top and aim for that. Or straight up trade for a nice Ripley's. Or add some cash for TWD Pro or Met Pro.

A good trade is for a machine you want. Yours is worth around 4k so trade For a machine you want and add or subtract money depending on the other machines value.

Nobody can say what a good trade is that is personal pretence. All we can state is value. Yours around 4k.

Not sure how to answer that since we don't know what games you're interested in. You could literally trade this for anything (+/- cash) and it would be a "good trade" if you were happy with the new game.

I'm not sure pinstadium is what people were commenting on/complaining about -- if you've got colored bulbs in the GI lots of people aren't going to like it.

Wow more mods on your 3 pins then my whole collection lol. You really just throw the whole kitchen sink at them don't you.
I wouldn't heavily mod a pin unless it's lifetime keeper.

Put up a for trade ad and see what you get.

You should never expect to get anywhere near what you paid for most mods. In your machines I’d say the pinstadium is a plus and replacing all the colored GI bulbs is a minus. They probably cancel each other out. Hopefully your backbox kits can be set to white.

don't worry this guy called me and told me exactly what my pin was worth last week! Listen to him, he knows all!

Never made an offer on your machine. Asked you repeatedly to stop messaging me which you did not do. If you would like to post that conversation in its entirety please do along with pictures of your machine. Getting upset because someone asked what you wanted for a machine and then showed no interest in buying it at any price is not the best thing to advertise on here.

Oh, and for the record I never said what your machine was worth. I said if there are other Family Guy's on here HUO and mint for 5k and yours has irreparable damage to the side art from chemicals it is not worth the 5k you were asking. I never said what it was worth, just that it isn't worth the same as others offered on here.

I trade my machines for cash.

Cash is a good trade; it is accepted most places, it's rather liquid.

Get a Ripley's, that game is a blast! Maybe a WPT and a early SS.

If one of the mods were say MikeD's LCD for AC/DC/CFTBL, CCC or Pinsound board is something to consider price wise. Pinstadium is expensive and not all but a lot of pinheads aren't fans. Keep an open mind to removing and adjusting your price for that. Other things figures or nick nacks don't excite people.

I can see you take pride in your pins and you want to make them your own, but it is easier to sell stock pins 100% of the time. If you are going to keep something forever then have at it, but if it's temporary best to go easy. It will save your wallet in the long run.

sticking to the question of the thread.. I would say a routed TSPP, Family guy, or maybe some two for one action of older games.

still owe you that beer! maybe next week, resend that address please, looking forward to it!

Having owned a Sopranos in the past, they can be a bit of a bear to move. You won’t see anywhere near $5,000+ worth in a trade coming your way.

Some realistic games that would be worth entertaining would be Road Show, BSD, Shadow, Junk Yard, Flintstones. For newer stuff you could look for a Transformers, Mustang Pro, WWE, maybe Avatar, CSI, 24.

There are options, but you need to be relistic with the price range. Somewhere in and around $3,500 makes sense imo.

Mint HUO Sopranos go for $4,500 in my area.

It has its fans, but the problem is lotr. LOTR is 4.5-5k and the same layout so once you get into that area people tend to go for it. Sopranos is a cheaper alternative for many. As a game I liked it when I had mine even though I had never seen the show.
