I’ll probably regret this but having owned it for approaching 5 years I’m realising I just don’t play it any more. I’ve also bought quite a few pins in the past couple of months so this would replenish the pin fund to carry on buying.

It had a full nut and bolt/all bells and whistles mint restoration done by @CHRIS B PINBALLS. Literally everything was done. New playfields, cabinet redone and redecalled to an amazing standard with top quality decals. New ringmaster, every switch and target replaced. Nos plastic set. Everything that could be mirror polished was done and we probably went a little overboard with the powder coating (note all the brackets under the playfield 😂) Literally no expense spared when I got it done. It’s also got:
Invisiglass
Mirror blades
Polished lockdown bar and rails
Real Colourdmd
The prototype backbox scrolls that Col sold a while back and are apparently rare -https://www.pinballinfo.com/community/threads/circus-voltaire-rare-scrolls-sold-with-2nd-dibbs.55276/

It hasn’t left here since it was done so I can’t find even one mark on the decals. The only very minor negative is a very small ding on the metal ring above the ringmaster. The ball must of hit it during gameplay and I’ve highlighted it in the pictures.

The game plays absolutely spot on and from there probably best I let the pics do the talking

As for price it’s a hard one as CV doesn’t come up for sale often and especially not in this condition. So after speaking to a number of members on here who like their top end restored pins I’ve gone with the general consensus at £8250
I am prepared to take part ex for the right pin or pins but especially looking for a nice whirlwind or eatpm. Also wouldn’t mind a nice Acdc or revisiting iron man again. Anything else just try me adding what you value your pin at.
Not in any rush for this to go so if the right person isn’t out there it’s no problem.

This game has featured on Gonzos channel too. Link here:

Very nice!
Was just thinking yesterday you don’t see many CV come up for sale and would look good next to an Alice
 
Noooooooo!!!!

This is a very sad day for pinball. 😥😥😥

For anyone on the fence, I have played this game more times than I care to remember and it's the best example I've ever seen.
 
I was about to say earlier everyone saying the market is dead but looking at the stuff sitting unsold there's not a top 90's classic there and that those would still sell . And then this . So tempting
 
CV is an amazing looking game. Always has been.
I love Jpop's designs.
Out of interest are you going to use the money to put to an Alice in Wonderland?
Good luck with sale. Lovely example. Glad you put the photos of the back of the game on. :)
 
Have had 3 part ex offers but unfortunately I already have one of the games and the other 2 are games I’ve had before and don’t want to revisit.

I’ll reduce the price to the cost of a nib stern pro until I get back from dpo and if not gone I suppose it’s staying 😁
 
I should have updated this morning but have been busy all day. For the record it sold for the asking price. Also had another full up offer and 2 other offers of 8k. Plus 5x trade offers of other pins + cash
 
Great news. Thanks for the info on sales too. I think that will help people understand the market with clarity
I would have pounced on that Jon it is wasent for my upcoming garden room build 😉

I believe i will be a future CV owner
