Contact the seller and have him send you an invoice without shipping charges.

i might be wrong but maybe the seller can invoice you through ebay just for the pin without a delivery fee then you could pay

Congrats on WWF! I grabbed mine for a great price and don't see it leaving any time soon. It is a terrific bang-for-the-buck pin. Good luck on the pick up!

You did fine pricewise. I made a comment in another thread that average WWFs routinely sell for 900-1200 and I was chastised by a newer collector that my data doesn't exist. If you look at the Ebay sales history on this game, the pricepoint is spot on with that statement. Pinside has a lot of newer collectors (not just newer collectors, but definitely quite a few of them) that will pay more (or far more) for a game than collectors that have been in this for a longer period of time. If you are looking for "a deal", often Pinside is not the avenue for that.

The market really isn't that different than it was 3 years ago. There are a handful of games that have skyrocketed, a few that increased a few hundred, and the rest have either stayed steady or even dropped.

Not trying to slam you (truly), but 6 months is not that long of a time to look for a pin. As you see, waiting got you exactly what you wanted, and it is awesome that you were able to get a fun pin at a good price.

Enjoy your game...WWF is really fun, and has quite a bit going on.

That is a very fair price. I got mine for only a little less than that. About over-paying, I would be safe in saying that ANY DMD-era game that you get for around a grand is a great deal. That is my "magic number", if I can get a game for a grand or under, I feel I have done ok(and it keeps the wife off my ass lol). I just made a deal to move my T2 in a combo 2 for 1 deal, so I can totally relate on that as well. Good luck!

That's a good price.

I'm sure if you waited another year you would have seen one sell for $64 less & then half dozen for a few to several hundred more.

Don't pay until all is resolved, you cannot partial pay, the seller will have to invoice.

I watched this auction tick down. Congrats.

wow wtf. Half a year to find a pin? Unless you're a huge cheap ass, 6 months for a pin is silly. The only exception to this might be something incredibly rare like Godzilla.

congrats on wwf. a good pin at a good price. you will enjoy it.

So the market can continue to inflate because people "have to have it now"? 6 months isn't long at all... It took me three years to find an 1812, and not because I am a "cheap ass", but because I wasn't going to way overpay for a machine just because I wanted it (I have certainly overpaid for machines). There are so many variables that go into finding a machine (location, condition, etc.), that 6 months is a drop in the hat depending on title.

Luckily pinball machines are luxury items and not a necessity, all I have is time when it comes to luxury items...

I was watching that same auction. Good price overall I believe.

Fun game, just hope that the plastic ramp is good. I got one off of ebay for a similar price, but the game was beat! Blown out inserts, missing art work, etc, but the biggest problem was the ramp. The rest was a long learning curve, but I learned to do touch ups and clearcoat (getto clearcoat). Besides the OH YEAHS, it is a great game. Congrats. Most DE games have nice playfields after they are cleaned up, not so for mine. I would suggest putting in leds due to the difficultly in getting to some of the bulbs. That mini playfield is fun but a pain in the butt to get to.

Dude, taking 3 years to buy a game you want due to "not wanting to overpay" is the very definition of being a cheap ass. Congratulations, you're a cheap ass. lol

Congrats on your asinine blanket statement. I am assuming you have been in the market for an 1812 and picked one up 6 months within searching for one? When you are looking for an 1812 with a perfect playfield, even if you are willing to overpay, they dont just show up (at least around here). Add to the fact that it has to be within driving distance to be considered and it really narrows down your options.

Looking at your collection and your game room, If I estimated even on the low side, you have what....120k worth of machines? So just the simple fact that I would need to give up two years salary just to have that collection probably means we aren''t the same collector base.

My last 4 pin purchases- POTC-4100, TFLE-4900, IJ-4k, BF-1700

Cheap Ass? Nah.... Broke Ass? Almost...LOL

I'm sure the seller wants the money now, but what does ebay say, 7 days? I'd do it when your ready to pick it up. I think you have a week. You bought the game so you're doing him a favor imo. He can wait. Believe me, everyone wants payment asap but take their sweet ass time if they had to ship it. I'm sure he's been trying to sell it for a while, that's why he finally put it on ebay. I wouldn't worry about it. Pay when you're ready.

Well, that's the entire reason that the market has inflated, although more and more I've found that if you're still willing to wait, you can still get some pretty fair deals.

If people wait, eventually stuff will pop up. If you need it today because you played it an hour ago and want it now, of course you're going to put a premium price on it. Then, you tell other people that is what you paid...

I'd rather have a list of 20 or so games and buy them when they pop up for a good deal instead of having a single game and needing it right now. It has caused me to buy my top wants slowly generally, but even "back in the day" people thought I was lying about the prices I picked up my machines for... Helps when you have a list of 20 and you don't overly care which one pops up next, and you're ready to drop everything and make a deal when you see that offer...

Congrats on picking up a very, very underrated game. Just got my old one back a week ago, and am questioning how I ever sold it.

You and me both... We have been at this a long time though, so what do we know...LOL

In the last 9 months, here are a couple of my "willing to wait purchases"... BSD- 1k, GNR $1750, Funhouse- $1800..... Granted some of these need quite a bit of work, but still, patience will still net you "deals"...

Back to the OP (sorry for the sidetrack).... Even though his auction stated, payment must be made within 12 hours, I don't believe Ebay will back him on that. You should be fine, as others have said, just have him send you an invoice without the shipping included. Let us know how it turns out!

It's really when jjp started and then Stern introduced the le models to compete. It's been an over inflated mess since then. It affected the whole market.

Congrats great game love mine the more you play it the better the game gets I was not sure about it at first but the mini playfield is awesome mine had a new ramp so lucked out there

The seller sounds kinda misleading when the auction stated its from his personal collection, but its located in an employee break room. It needs some slingshot plastics and drop target decals from what I saw of it. Good price in todays market though.

Congrats on the eBay pickup!!!

Great price for a solid game. A decent WWFRR still runs about $1500 and is more fun than many games selling for more. Enjoy! And yeah, waiting a few years for a game you want at the right price is cool. In fact, I stopped adding to my mental "I gotta have this game soon" list because the last 2 I did came up for sale within a few months, and I have no more room for games! (LAH for $700, and Mars Trek for $350) Patience is a virtue; let the instant-gratification types overpay for their games!

"Oh yeeeeeahhhhhh"

Paid $1100 for mine...stellar condition. Great pin

Good luck and keep us posted on how it turns out. I am not aware of any major issue areas on WWF because my old one was very nice. Scoop holes obviously get use. Bazaii ramps always seem to be cracked at the little tab where they connect to mini-pf.

Cliffy makes a nice protector(s) that is easy to install. It's a must for this game.

yup, I helped as a proto-tester They are very nice Cliffy protectors and a no brainer for a game that gets the scoop holes use a bunch.

Congrats!

Worth every mile...congrats!!!

Post some pics when you get it in the house !!

Nice deal.....looks like a fun game.

Great find. I like the Red Bull Machine. Don't forget to replace the batteries...you never know how long they have been in the game before you got it.

LOL. it is different that's for sure. You can download the Op manuel on ipdb.org (free) and it will walk you through the reset menu.

PS. The Goodie bag is a rare find...congrats

Any pictures of the goodie bag?
