If you can get a clean shopped King Pin for that I around your parts I’m moving out! Seems like EM prices here have more or less kept pace with SS and other game inflation... here that would be unplayed for the last 15 yrs sitting in a garage with broken crumbling rubbers and a very dirty playfield and cab... or at least not a lot better! Although I do see them posted here on pinside for prices I find to be consistent or at least close to what your looking for! it’s so weird...Any time your looking for a game it’s expensive and the minute you stop one comes up!

Good luck. I picked up a worn example some years ago and never looked back!

Whaddya know! Ask and ye shall find!

Fantastic!

Awesome to hear about all the “new” King Pins finding homes!

I paid a bit over 400 some three years ago for a non working but complete example with pristine glass, decent playfield and seriously smoke yellowed cabinet that was structurally ok but kinda a disaster otherwise. Still feel good about that price for where I am at- but it does seem high compared to what seems otherwise widely available! I had other buyers behind me who had actually offered more but I was there and had actually tried to purchase the same game a year earlier so had a relationship with the seller.

Anyhow- this thread should be a pretty good reference for this game value at this point! Anyone care to guess the value for a game after a meticulous restoration? 1,500? More? Less?

The bolt holes can be filled so no biggie... looks like a fair amount of work ahead if you end up with this one as the cabinet looks really yellowed and beat as is typical for many of these games.

Did you bring it home.???????

Love seeing all the King Pins!

OP- you better hurry up and purchase now! 10K by Christmas

Did ya read the thread? That’s sorta the whole point! So far we have a range of 400 ish for what is a beat up (if typical) example to over 2000 for a restored pristine example. So depending on how nice- probably around 600-1.2K unless it’s been restored.

The point of my somewhat sarcastic post was made above... this thread probably has more sales information on this game than any other thread on Pinside and you need to decide for yourself what a game is worth... The simple reality is any game in any condition is worth precisely whatever you or someone in line with you will pay (assuming the seller is satisfied)... you need to decide whats reasonable to you- and you need to be prepared to adjust that upward if you cannot buy a game.

My very first post stated that I did not think you could get a decent quality machine for less than 600 or more... aside from comments saying someone got one for less, all the information here supports that. Its always the case that someone will find a great game at an amazing price- hell its also true I could discover a Picasso at a garage sale in his home town priced for 10 dollars. But does that determine, or even influence the market price? Nope... So, if you want another number, I would pay over 1,000 dollars, possibly a good bit more, for a very nice original game- one that required no major cosmetic work- even if it was not working. So if thats the game you want, and I or others like me are in line with you, thats the price.

if your willing to share and you end up purchasing, this would be a great place to out the price and maybe throw in a pic or two. Yet more information on price and condition for this game!

OMG- that sucks- RIP

That’s a decent game for 700.. it is not really a bargain ala craigslist, but not bad. Love the intitals carved into the cabinet... depending on how bad cabinet is price may be high but that’s a perfectly reasonable starting price.
