Batman
Data East, 1991Hello I am new to the forum but I am looking to buy a decent Batman Data East pinball machine. Price depends on condition as with everything. I am also willing to pay a small finders fee if you hook me up with someone I eventually buy from.
Again I know I am new here but I am not at all new to collecting and I have excellent feedback elsewhere. You can find feedback for me on ebay under your-secret-identity or on NintendoAge/Sega Age under username Johnny.
Good luck in your hunt. Joystix in Houston has a really nice one but the price is retail obviously. That is a really good looking game in my view.
I live in California and prices seem to be a little out of wack here. I paid 1600. Since it's my only pin my rating of the condition is pretty much a blind statement.
Id say mine is in fair condition, playfield shows some wear but not the worst I have seen, actually pretty good compared to a few others I saw. The cab itself has some rough spots but most of the art is clean. Back Glass is really nice, No major play issues. Does have one game paly issue where flugelheim museum doesn't register the second shot. Notices the first one but the second one it just keeps counting down. Other cosmetic issue was on the rod, the handle on the shooter rod was cracked. Did have new rubbers and flippers.
All this to say compared to the others I saw here in CA it was in the best shape for the price, for 2500 I could have got a nicer one and two others also at that price point were in similar or worse condition to mine. I saw one go for 1350 at Captains Auction which was worse than mine . If you add the 15% the captain charges plus 3% because it was an online bid, and then CA sales tax that machine went for nearly 2k.
Looking around the Boards I have seen people ranking this machine in the 12 to 2k range depending on condtion, but like I said in CA our prices seem a little bit higher.
