Hi all, up for sale is a NGG, from WPC-95.

No Good Go(l)fers is a golf pinball game loosely based on the film Caddyshack. It was released by Williams in 1997, designed by Pat Lawlor and John Youssi, and sold around 2,700. NGG is still placed inside the top 100 on Pinside (here) (and here) and inside the top 30 on IPDB (here), not bad for a 28 year old game. Pat Lawlor, of course, is also famous for designing some others you may have heard of, such as TAF, TZ, FH, RS, and a dozen or so others. (OK, nobody shouts about CSI or Monopoly, but Earthshaker, Whirlwind, Safe Cracker, Banzai Run, Ripley's, Family Guy....).

The good: lovely playfield and ramps, decal under slam ramp, no errors, recently cleaned and serviced. It's a mid-90s Williams game with great pedigree.
The bad: cabinet has some scratches and dings (gouges), DMD is a funny looking creature, CPU has been replaced with a Rottendog. And it's about golf.

I sold my first Gofers in 2018 for £3,000 (it wasn't as nice as this) and have no idea what they fetch now as they seldom come up and market is all over the place. So i'll start higher than i think it'll sell for, and reduce by £50 a day until it's gone. Feel free to contact me and make an offer if you don't want to wait. Part exchanges always a possibility. Martin Palfreyman and Matt Vince have both been here many times. Located in West London W5 2AL.

Loads of pics below, and here's a short boot-up video so you know it's not a lemon:

I should think that's probably more than enough, but if you want to see something specific, just ask. Game comes with no guarantee whatsoever, except that i guarantee it will go wrong at some point and need fixing. It's a pin FFS, they're more complicated than a car. Prefer therefore to sell to someone who's had pins before, but not a dealbreaker and will happily sell to a n00b with the proviso that there is no after sale service provided - i'll help out on the phone or by email if needed, or ask on here, but once it's gone, it's your problem and not mine. So come and play it by all means before you buy if you like. West London, 8 mins walk from Ealing Broadway tube.

Here's a proper video of it on YouTube:

The most underrated game of the 90s IMO. Good luck with sale, you dont see these come up very often. Dad's is bolted to the floor.
 
I sold mine and missed it so much I had to get another , bought the last one that was for sale on here , think I paid £3.4K for it but it’s in fantastic condition so well happy.
It’s a fantastic fun game with the most satisfying shot in pinball, the ‘Hole in One’ shot.
Good luck with the sale Dan . Great quality games always sell on here.
 
I also owned a ngg which was in stunning condition back in 2018 cracking game and I agree one of the best shots in pinball I'm sure someone on the forum will probably own it now as the last time I saw it and played it Jason catrine had it and he sold it on the forum.
Apologies for derailing the thread glws.
 
cooldan is one of those rare people that understands what a Dutch auction is. So many folk misuse the term
 
No you’re thinking of when someone else holds your arm and rigorously moves it back and forth….
Oh no wait that’s something else
 
The Dutch auction should be compulsory for all sale threads :p

I will most likely do this when I come to sell my Indy but with a weekly reduction, or else i'd probably forget to reduce every day.

It should run until somebody caves in and hits the buy button in fear of losing out on it, but most people would be sticking it on ebay if the price got too low for their liking.

I think this is a proper Dutch auction though because it's listed by HamsterDan ;)

by my reckoning it'll be £3000 on Friday 17th, £2500 on Monday 27th.
I can't really see it lasting to 2500 but we'll see....
 
comment HERE on price of old games in Andy's Shadow sale attempt thread

i'd be a fool to let this auction run untouched below 3K, so if it falls that far then it's going on eBay, sorry. i'd be mad to give money away. the second hand market is dead as a dodo, people only want shiny restored games or new games nowadays rather than cheaper but way more popular titles with a bit of rust and a few scratches on the cabinet. madness.
