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

Congo is a wonderful shooting game, and like daz says the multi ball start is one of the best in pinball. For me though the diamond collection element, and the modes (or the seeming lack of them) let it down a bit. There doesn't feel like theres much progression. The video mode and mini playfield are also not great.

This is a game that would massively benefit from a code update, because the shots flow like butter.

Oh big shout out to the skill plunge to hit the left outlane. Amazing idea and so much fun, especially during the timed mode.

It’s that good even Iron Maiden copied it.

 

[Matt Adams]

Obviously copied from the super skill plunge to the bookcase on Whodunnit

I've got a couple of good friends to step in and make sure they will be sold for a fair price.
I think the wife will be pleasantly surprised as she has no idea of there true value.

But does she know where they all are?

Does Daz know?

It still feels wrong, aiming for outlanes

That's a point.

That's a even better point.

@roadshow16 here's my thoughts on prices:

• Roadshow - £.3.5K to £4K
• Creech - £4K to £4.5K
• Flintstones - £2.5K to £3K
• Demoman - £2.5K to £3K
• STTNG - £3.5K to £4K
• HS2 Getaway - £2.5K to £3K
• Fish Tales - £2.5K to £3K
• Jackbot - £2.5K
• South Park - £3K to £3.5K
• F14 Tomcat - £1.8K to £2.2K
• Flash Gordon (restored) - £4K to £4.5K
• Centaur - £3K to £3.5K
• Paragon - £2K to £2.5K
• Barracora - £1K to £1.5K
• Meteor - £1.5K to £2K
• Star Trek (I've assumed this is the Bally one) - £1.5K
• Phoenix - £1K

For a total of between £42.3K to £49.2K How close did I get to your numbers?

Now re do as if your selling on Ebay by adding 3k to each

Skillshot points and extra ball save makes me disagree

I have an Addams Family machine that I want to sell. It has a Cliffy chair hole protector fitted and sitting in the chair is an Uncle Fester model. It has gold software installed. What pictures / video do I need to take and how do I know what valuation to put on it? I don't understand how to work out what grade it is. I am near Hemel Hempstead.

As many pics as you can - of the playfield, any areas of wear, any damaged parts, same for all sides of the cabinet and head, and backglass, again noting any damage or scratches etc. if you can open up the backbox, pics of the circuit boards inside. Any faults or issues with the machine? does it work? any lines out on the dmd? Any other issues you know about? ......

 

[steve brum]

Addams all about cosmetics . Massive range of conditions. Ramps plastics etc are all available repro so its insert lifting and wear and battering to cab that are key.

Hi all
I have a Whirlwind that I’m thinking of selling. All the usual dings and dents on the cabinet for a machine of this age. Playfield is fine with little signs of wear. All boards are fine with no nasty hacks. Main ramp replaced as well as lift ramp plastic. Everything works and it plays fast. Given a recent service by Andy Neatherwood.
I never see these for sale so I know they are pretty rare. How much do you think? Thanks.

Whirly - the best rated System 11 game and probably the best playing alpha numeric

2.6k ?

Think this was the last one for sale on the forum, quite recent. https://www.pinballinfo.com/community/threads/whirlwind-£2-500.50555/

 

[Irving Hill]

Thanks Jib. Didn’t see that. Very useful.

What value would you put on a Rick N Morty - Blood Sucker Edition - HUO, bought NIB from PH last year. Factory extras of coloured coin door, shaker, internal side graphics and RGB speakers.

I've then added cols plastic protectors and a brand new sheet of Romans PDI Anti reflective glass.

Only slight issue is a bit of broken plastic off the fence on the house. (I have it, it can be glued back on). Its a cosmetic piece.

Apart from that - perfect.

I have an offer on the table, just want to sanity check it.

It’s a hard one - not common on the secondary market and it seems to be a machine that people are after. I’d hazard a guess that it’s worth more than it cost NIB due to theme, rarity and no chance of further production, but hard to say how much over. Guess it would very much depend on how badly the buyer wants one.

I think @Will picked one up not long ago, maybe he can weigh in?

I’ll keep it until then either way. really not sure if i want to sell it to be honest, but the offer is tempting

Yep I have one , I would say It's worth around 20 million schmeckles
Read an interesting post on pinside that mentioned ( don't know if fact ) but it's the standard machine that's actually the rare one as apparently all the bloodsuckers sold out in four hours and there is only a hand full of the ones without the purple trim
So the standard becomes the limited one
Absolutely phenomenal game

 

[steve brum]

Mine is a standard. Woop. But its poorly at the moment. (Retracts woop)

 

[AlanJ]

I’ve found the sales prices on pinside and the for sale ads. crazy prices but they match the silly money a guy in europe offered me. I feel guilty selling for that sort of dosh, which tells me I should hold onto it. it’s a hilarious and brutal game.

I know what you mean, I’m vaguely aware of what I could probably get for mine but it’s like nothing else I own. I love the theme, humour and vulgarity, and I don’t think it will be that easy to pick up another in the future.

I also need to fix the bloody pop bumper as one of the wires came off and I just haven’t got around to sorting it. Mainly because I just can’t be ****d digging out the soldering iron, should really get a wireless one.

 

[AlanJ]

You can probably have a really good game without the pop working

 

[Deleted member 181]

There is nothing else like it , just the fact it was even made is unbelievable... and hats off to spooky for doing something so completely and utterly wrong
The machine makes me crack up all the time , I have to have it set to no swearing because my boy plays it but when he is out the way .. wow it comes into its own
He loves it so much he put on his Xmas list to Santa a " meeseks plushy "
For me TNA was one of the most fun yet brutal games I owned , this takes TNA and turns it up to 11.
