I'm a few beers in so apologies but is Shadow really a near on 4k game now? I think I got to get a new hobby! Glws, nice looking game

A few people have asked the same question..

Not much to go on in terms of sales prices this year, but looking at Pinside games are going for between $4300-$4800 so around £3500.

£3800 is what is asking for so that is what it is.
if it doesn’t sell then maybe a price reduction.

I’m sure I remember two or three Shadows selling earlier this year on the new/old classifieds section, with prices ranging in the 2300-2500 range. I can’t find them on the search because the classifieds is now gone.

I was offered a shadow when looking for a 1st pin at £2000 which eventually sold at £2500 at the start of this month.

Bob got me a Hyperball in 1997. I paid £600. That was some auction for those in the hobby then at the time of his passing. I had dipped out for a break after getting married in 2000 and the lure of the bedroom.

The Blackpool chap used and abused the pinball paradise name after Bob Thomson had passed away.
