See that HH is back on the bay, did anyone here buy it the first time round - is it totally fooked?

I asked the seller and he reckons the winner withdrew for personal reasons... In other words his mate was bidding on it to jack up the price and won by accident...
He said he offered it to second person but they declined...
Cheers for that mate, that sounds about right... will keep an eye on it and see what happens.
HH is unlikely to be an easy game to sell in the UK. To start with, few folk will even entertain owning a Gottlieb. On top of this general aversion, Haunted House looks extremely complicated in terms of maintenance as well.
Really nice TZ topper on eBay. Apparently limited edition, but good Lord just look at the current bidding on it...
I was going to go up to about $700, against my better judgement, but it has gone nuts.
Twilight Zone slot topper limited edition | eBay
Up for your consideration is the highly sought after Twilight Zone slot topper in good condition. This version features patterns and animations not seen on the standard model. Condition is Used. I notice there is an led out in the bottom right of topper.

I asked the sell of the hh how much he wanted for it as soon as it came on the first time as he is 2mins away but he wanted to let the auction run which is fair enough and I would not have paid anything like what it went for there has been 2 really nice ones on here the last 2 months with little interest so you would be mad to pay over 1k for it
There's a HH in Germany for £2.2k on the bay. Always fancied one but just as trophy machine to remind me I was into pinball and not girls at 15!
Cheers Chris, strange he rejected a cash offer from close by... I was thinking about £800-900 as a little project but know nothing about Gottlieb games, might be better off giving it a miss.

I sold a HH about five years ago for £1400 to a guy that had it as his favourite game pretty sure Matt Adams paid 2k ish for one from poi on here that then recently sold for pretty much that ... don’t know where your getting sub 1k prices from ...
I think the one being talked about at low price was a total project

Yes that's right, warehouse game not working. Also not sure if it's totally complete, boards undamaged, etc.

Non working yeah fair play i didn’t bother reading past the last page
@James
I think that Genie is a great game for its era. Single ball. Gorgeous art. Great variety of shots. Very good mini playfield (not a gimmick like so many). Quite a strategic game too for a pre speech SS
The issue with Gottliebs is that they are rare in the UK. To get spares you are looking at USA or Europe for virtually everything. As they are rare, not many folk know anything about them. There is a reasonable list of folk in the UK who will fix Bally, Stern and Williams games of this era at reasonable cost. Or geeks who will do it for free.
Buying a dead, early SS Gottlieb is another story. It would doubtless sell better in France.

Apologies if it's already been mentioned, but;
Re. the non-working Haunted House - the seller has the manual for it on a separate listing. Isn't there an expression for that?

Yes, Git.
I think looking again at photo it's just a plastic attached to the side of the apron , rather than the apron itself.... as it's a slightly weird design with the extra racetrack thingy.
EDIT - def just a plastic. Replaceable.
Never played one to be fair? Must be worth a stab at £1500?
I played NASCAR a lot as a kid at the local pool hall, it's a fun game from what I remember of it. I have fond memories of playing it for the first time and thinking the balls were always getting stuck when the machine shot them around the track around the playfield. Definitely worth a shot for £1500 in my opinion!
Is the Scared Stiff on the bay someone from the forum? Im interested but don't know enough about the machine the sellers spelling worries me.
He isn’t on the forum but I bought an afm from him the middle of last year. His name is Chris and he was straight forward to deal with. Give him a call if you have doubts. If his number isn’t on the listing pm me I should have it somewhere
Eye doint noww heem
It's a really fun game. A lot going on. A Pat Lawlor game remember

Seller should have offered it to the next highest bid rather than re-listing
......agree! That was me! Love a bit o dolly!....smashing game...lost out to his mate no doubt, as per.....
The Dolly guy has risen from relative obscurity and is now in the running for the highly coveted "eBay - master of pinball machine selling award"
The bidder list smells a bit. Well, it smells a lot actually. How many zero feedback buyers are in the market for a Dolly ?...
Stiff competition from the "we all know what it's worth guy" and the "I am the second best pinball restorer in the UK" guy flogging the Gottlieb whatever it was.
Worth trying to get all three on the stage at Daventry. I predict a mic drop.
