Title: 1961 Gottlieb Showboat
Post by: keithm on August 06, 2009, 08:38:59 pm
Our church is having a rummage sale and this pinball machine is for sale.  Sign says make an offer.  It lights up, seems to play fine, except for one flipper , and looks pretty clean overall.   Anyone out there have any thoughts on value ?   Or have a price guide of some sort that they can look it up. 

Thanks

I just looked on Mr. Pinball classifieds, and there are 2 for sale both in good shape for $700-$750. Not sure if this link will work, but...

I have a 2009 edition Mr. Pinball list and price guide that puts the value at 800.00.Given the current market which, in my opinion,is near bottoming out  I predict that machine will sell for under $500. I'd offer $250.00 and see what happens.It does have the "wedgehead" design and Roy Parker artwork which is a plus for value and does ad to the overall appeal of the game. The condition of the backglass will give it higher value. Look it over closely. Good luck.
