As @JAG555 has said- this needs moved to the ‘Whats it worth thread’ Cosmetically looks great- nice work. Price wise, your bog standard players condition DE Simpsons seems to fetch about £2k ish. I can’t remember seeing a refurbed one so maybe £3k ish (possibly more if selling on EBay to a Simpsons fan )
 
£3000 in this condition if you have someone after a nice one, normally a £2000 to £2500 pinball.

I don’t like the colour theme but that’s my preference, it may appeal to others🤷‍♂️

That’s my opinion but let’s see what others have to say (Neil 😉).

Rules state it must have a price if in the “For Sale”, move to “What’s it worth” you may get an offer you are happy with

I know, but those are the forum rules I am afraid mate. I think you have good advice above.

Can't seem to change it to that so will have to keep it like it is for a bit and then go from there

Sorry - but no.

The reason for wanting a price is because this isnt ebay... it's not an auction site, else there would probably be more bickering than there is already..
If you want to know the rough value of something, we have this in place to ask :https://www.pinballinfo.com/community/threads/the-how-much-is-this-table-worth-thread.5286/

If you have a price in mind, I'm happy to add it for you, though it is fairly easy - Edit the original post, put the price in, and then save it.

In the meantime, locking this thread....
 
I nearly bought this off eBay. Can't remember what happened if I was outbid or seller changed his mind. Whatever.

About 1800 was the price. Sure seller has spent some on it. I would guess 1000-1200. So would think 3000 total and a fair price. I assume seller looking for an extra 1500 for his time on it.
I never think time adds value to a machine. Do it for the love of pinball. Making it pay is going to be tough.

Maybe someone will really like it. I don't find the wrong colour scheme to my taste. But best of luck to him.

Not sure it was the same pin as we definitely brought it for more then that. But thank you.
Yes we have considered time into it
 
DE Simpsons come up a fair bit... Top tip, type in the name of the machine you're looking for. Click the filter tab, click the more tab. Then select 'Sold' it will show you what they went for. That's if the sale closed on eBay. A lot of sales that are a 'cash' mysteriously never seem to complete and the seller ends up not paying eBay any commission... Funny that. 😆

Only lw3 and star wars seem to have survived more for data East than Simpsons

Playfields deteriorated more on Simpson’s / Batman and Hook, LW3 and Star Wars didn’t have the same issue for reasons unknown. Outlanes and ball return areas are often flaked paint 🤷‍♂️

Data east added stealth coat from star trek I believe. This was in direct response to williams diamond coat.
 
eBay advert now live if anyone is interested in bidding

You've got to admire the optimism. There's another auction on eBay for a Bally Flash Gordon. It's been listed for months now at £5,950.00. Can't see there being any takers for it. I guess you have nothing to loose by going in high and taking a punt?
