We all know it's what someone's willing to pay, but I intend on finding out. Done trying to diagnose this and I'm not playing enough pinball to throw any more money at it. I plan on listing as a .99 NR auction on Ebay.

I basically had issues with no back box lights, and because of that no sound. Finally get that resolved and then I have an issue with a phantom scoring when I hit the right flipper button. Now (probably because of phantom score issue) F1 on power module board (20amp) blows on start up so no insert lights now.

Just done at this point as I plan to get down to one pin for the near future. The game has so many new parts, but still needs some work to play right.

CPR Flash Gordon PF, Pinball Pimp Stencils used for cabinet restoration, coin door reskinned, all new boards (every single one ), all new LED displays, new legs, trim, lockdown bar, silk screened reproduction apron, shooter rod, chrome backglass lift channel, new drop targets (except 1 bank, but I have the new targets and will provide). All flippers rebuilt and coils rewrapped. I'm sure there are other new items I'm missing too.

The bad. The F1 blows, so no playfield lights, although strobe is new and was working the strobe doesn't currently flash. The game really hasn't been played since the swap (Little Shop of Games) so the switches and targets need to be tweaked to play perfect IMO. They all seem to register except one standup, but game just needs some tweaking. The playfield fits a little snug, so there is some slight rubbing on the inside of the cabinet on the left side.

Pretty much all I can think of. The game is gorgeous and will make someone happy, but it's still a semi-project. Just wondering what you think my pin is worth in it's current condition. Although my plan is a .99 no reserve Ebay auction, I guess I could be swayed by an offer on Pinside. Not really my goal, but if I do I will make a donation =/> than what would have been assessed.

Try and ignore the heavy breathing

This is actually a really hard game for me to part with. FG is my favorite classic Bally hands down, but just done seeing it sit and not being played/enjoyed.

I like everyone's optimism, but I think it will be less. I tried to be as open as possible in my Ebay listing. It is a semi-project so that will keep a fair amount of bidders away. It's listed as a .99 no reserve auction and I plan on letting the market determine the value.

FWIW I cant tell you how disappointed I never got to enjoy this game after the PF swap.

I posted quite a bit about my issues with sound and backbox lights. Frustrating to get that fixed and go into something else. I think the root cause never got fixed.

I do think it will be a easier fix for someone that knows what their doing. I don't lol. Anyway, if anyone is interested I'm sure the threads are easily found. It also confirms how long I've put this on the back burner or just gave up trying to fix it myself.

Man I know this is going to piss some off, but I ended this auction early. I've never done this before and usually enjoy the auction process, but after posting on the Village (Fl collectors board) I've made a deal with someone local.

We've just agreed to the deal, but it was a fair offer and includes the transformer that I was looking for to complete my TAF restoration. I actually have the ad posted here. Anyway, I actually think that might have been enough to make me end it. I don't want to disclose any details because my intention is not to try and have someone one up it. Happy with deal in place.

Quoted from Whysnow:

It honestly is pretty lame. Why even start an auction if you are just gonna pull the funny stuff and end it early?
Seems like a waste of everyones time.

I don’t disagree with you. It happens a lot on stuff I watch and i always feel it’s an attempt to avoid Ebay fees. This wasn’t. I received a very fair offer with a part I need. Although the bid on Ebay was at 2800, I want worried about the price moving. I figured it might have stagnated there and jumped at the end with people trying to snipe it. I would do the same. I would have been okay with whatever price it sold for through the auction.

At this point I have a deal in place. I asked for no deposit.

I don’t expect it to, but if this deal falls though for some reason (set to take place this Thursday or Sunday depending on logistics) I will relist on Ebay at .99 and state in my auction it will run the duration of ad and only be sold to the highest bidder. I really do feel bad about ending the auction.

Quoted from elcolonel:

Op played this deal masterfully, although I would say unintentionally!

I'm guilty of starting a forum post to promote my .99 auction NR auction on Ebay (more guilt for stopping it)

What's semi funny is I would not have posted my ad on the Village BBS had someone not contacted me on Pinside asking about my Ebay statement saying I had it "listed on a local forum, so bid early". Like I said I've never ended my auctions early but I usually throw that statement in just in case some weird event comes up. After they contacted me I figured I better follow through and just post on the Village.

Buyer made a very solid offer (and creative adding the transformer into the offer that I have a WTB ad listed on here) considering where Ebay auction was at and explained why the game was important to them. Both of us have been on the Village for years so it's a bonus it will stay local.
