The "How much is this table worth" thread....

[Pharo]

Hi all looking to see what people on here think a data east secret service is worth in really nice condition, I've got it up for sale or a trade at the moment but I could be off with my pricing hence this post.
Cheers Brian

Prices are all over the place mate. It’s difficult to say. I’d say £1500. But a project F14 tomcat sold on eBay yesterday for about £1200!!! Mental.

Yeah ebay is a real wildcard! Tomcat on this forum has previously sold in the £950-£1400 range.

Sometimes some random non-pinball person just decides they really want something

Also don't drop it to £1500 otherwise I am going to have to find somewhere to put it

Not big up on DE pricing but having played this when picking up FT, its certainly one of the nicest condition DE games that i’ve seen in a long while, so that will push up its value. Played great too and i genuinely enjoyed the 80s music and vibe from it.

 

[lukewells]

Well yes, that's why I'm saying not to drop the price, because then I would have to find somewhere else to put the machines that are already next to Torpedo Alley and Laser War

(you missed Phantom of the Opera by the way)

 

[Pharo]

Your right I forgot about phantom of the opera another game with great sounds, you've got to give data east their due in the 80s they did go all in on the sounds.

The kooky time Machine also
But try to forget Monday night football
Apart from the usual subjects alpha numeric games seem to have settled back to the pre covid 1 to 2k level

Time machine is one of the very few pins I have ever sold. It should of been great, but there seemed to be no way to stop it giving you like 3 extra balls per game

For 80s cheese factor there is no way any of those beat secret service for the version of nobody does it better that the topper flashes in sequence to

 

[Jason Catrine]

I typed 'cheesy' 80s music into my comment earlier and deleted it as i didnt want to offend you lol. Its cheesey in a good way

How much is my Addams Family Pin Table Worth?
I have an original Addams Family pin table which I am selling. Excellent condition, serviced and maintained by Majestic Pinball. Bought from Williams' Amusements (Pontefract) about 3 years ago. Original spec - no gimmicks but sensible upgrades - Coin mechanism taking £1 and 50p, New bear kick ramp (see photos), Full LED conversion on all lamps, Plays really well - just like new. Located near Chelmsford Essex UK.
I hope the photos work OK.

Thanks everyone for the advice, it's the only pin machine I ever owned and your input has been honest and to the point which I appreciate, even though some of it wasn't what I wanted to hear!
I'll be posting it for sale - offers circa 7k I think. Anyone interested please email me on **Removed** . It's located in Writtle, Essex. Collection only.

Just be careful publishing your email address on a public forum, private messages would be a more secure way of contacting you.

Ok so lots of people like asking "how much is x or y table worth???". So... Here's a thread to ask those questions....

Please post these requests in here and not create a new thread asking, since those will only be moved to here anyhow....

This means that people who want to avoid these type of threads can do so...

I’m going to be selling my Theatre of Magic. Being professionally serviced/cleaned etc but where’s the best place to sell it. EBay or another specialist site?

 

[SteadyP]

Here imo although EBay is fine too depending on the buyer

Depends on your definition of ‘best’.

Here it will most likely go to a pinhead and be loved. But here also folk won’t tolerate (ie buy) games over the market value. For the best possible price either rip someone off on eBay, or sell to a company like Home Leisure Direct who will give you more than we would and then double it in their showroom.

I would hazard a guess that your inbox has exploded and that you have already had 50 messages regarding this.

Hi Everyone,

I'm thinking of selling my Addams Family, what do you think it's worth? It is complete and everything is working. It has never been restored.
I have attached some pictures, let me know if you need more for your evaluation

Fair bit of wear on the playfield. £6k maybe? There's been a wrecked one on eBay for ages at £7k and it's not shifting

 

[Silverpaolo]

5k to 6k in this market with that wear imo

 

[Jason Catrine]

@Tomcot What faults show up when its turned on? It has a credit dot in your pics which could be either a random faulty switch or battery leakage issues.

 

[Baminb]

Looking to buy a John Wick pinball in about 8 weeks when space and funds are available. Ideally low plays under a year old. I am not sure the premium is worth the extra over a pro but would consider both.

What would the cost range be given the current pinball market conditions ?

This would take my collection to five. I have heard the mixed feelings on this game but played it over at Phil's day and could not get enough of of it - must have played it 30 times. Love the theme and heard the new code improves it further.

Apologies if I have put this on the wrong thread

Cheers Billy

Hi, thanks, do you think add a color screen will increase de value? What should be my priority to make it more desirable? Thanks, Tom

 

[steve brum]

Colour screen won't add value more than the screen . For addams pin2dmd is adequate and less that £200 but won't add £200 to value

Playfield condition is key on addams
