Title: Need some help on 2 pinball machines
Post by: Pat Pixley on September 09, 2008, 09:35:38 pm
Ok a client ofmine has these two pin ball machines that he would like to sell
but has no idea what to sell them for  so I need your help
I DO NOT WANT THEM just so you know.
These machine have been setting for a year not being used so they need a little
work  The lights all come on but the ball does not come up.
So I need to go back to him with a ball park price  on each machine, so some input
would really help. thanks


 Pat

Pat... I'm not too up on these prices, but looking into the games a bit, neither one is a real collectible game..

Time Fantasy in non working shape...$300-$400...
Quicksilver... non working shape... $300 max

YMMV...

I think Ken is pretty close on prices.  I talked to the pinball warehouse in the twin citites a while back on a Black pyramid machine - they went through it & running perfectly - they wanted 800 to 900. It is more collectable and was running like new.

Ok I just emailed a pinhead (pinball guy They call them self's pinheads)
And JohnieG knows this person I'm talking about
He told me the going rate was About $150- $200  for not working
if it was working $500- $750 .
So I will let my client know and if anybody is interested please contact me
and I will help get the deal done :biggrin:

Sodak Bob & Ken thanks for your help.

You may find a sucker if they worked... I was a sucker on the pin I bought. These are both Solid State machines. May not be too bad to make work. I wouldn't mind messing around with them, but freight would kill the deal.
