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

Put a wanted advert up with a list of your top 6-8 games and see what you can reel in on budget mate, happy fishing, nothing like that first pin feeling!

From the info in the post this looks like a nice working game, but definitely not a fully restored machine. Martin @gopinball knows his stuff so if he’s serviced it recently then it should all be working fine. Personally I think it’s a little expensive at £3.5k though.

Looks decent enough. It’s on EBay currently at 3k or best offer

baywatch pinball machine - perfect working order | eBay

Just been serviced spent a lot (with Go Pinball) on getting it back to this condition. Plays great. Move forces sale.

But better ro make an offer through pinballinfo rather than ebay for obvious financial reasons.

Baywatch is a great game. I sold one a couple of years àgo but I have another. I also have loads of game specific spares in case you need any as I parted out 5 of them plus plenty of knowledge on the group to help you out when stuff goes wrong.

And you get to join BAPS.

I made offers on this machine months ago and the vendor said it was sold for £3k

 

[MattCarr]

Spider-Man is a great game. White Water is one of my favourite machines of all time, and the only machine I’ve bought twice. I have 18 pins here at the moment and I still end up playing it more than most of them.

Wish I had the space for 18 pins!

Someone had to do it. @Sgt GrizZ is the founder of this elite club. He's been telling everyone how great Baywatch is for 10+ years. Tbf he has also been telling everyone how great Popeye is so caution may have been advisable. Anyway, here's a thread for Sega's greatest game inspired by the pick...

Baywatch is a cracking game. I have never watched the show so i am not a fan but i don`t dislike it either but as a pinball with all those ramps and shots and four flippers just good fun to play.

Hi,

Hope this is the right place to ask. I’m looking for a first table and after many hours looking at options within my budget (under 4k) and what usually pops in here or eBay/Gumtre I was hoping someone could confirm me prices for a few 90s ones:

Data East Ninja Turtles
Data East Jurassic Park
Data East Simpsons
Data East Last Action Hero
Sega Baywatch
Gottlieb Gladiators (only one local)
Gottlieb Street Fighter
Williams The Getaway

Also any of them awful as a first pin? Taking any feedback. Only played Fish Tales on the PC, which usually goes under 4k but didn’t really like it. Kind of need to like the theme too.

Thanks!

Data East Ninja Turtles

Data East Jurassic Park 1/2

Data East Simpsons ( maybe + ) been a looong time since I've played it

Data East Last Action Hero

Sega Baywatch

Gottlieb Gladiators (only one local)

Gottlieb Street Fighter

Williams The Getaway

Gladiators (aka the would have been legend of zelda pin) ain't too bad if its cheap enough, won't compare to the getaway or baywatch (best games by far in your list) but if it was a cheap first pin you could do worse. Top loop shot with third flipper is fun to make over and over, timing the ball drop into the kicker from the swinging crane is fun, call outs are good and the shaker is great. For 1200 to 1500 there's fun to be had. If it had of been released as zelda as originally intended it would command 3x the price.

I doubt your get a last action hero for the money it's worth, maybe I was basing my rating on what I thought the costs are probably at the moment, Baywatch and high-speed are totally different games, I prefer Baywatch but at a push I think gateway offers better value and there's always a fair few around.
Gladiators if it's that one in the unmentionables it's with capital

(But your work was great )

 

[Mozie]

Need to spend a bit more time with it to get it mate it's really not that bad once you learn a few shots, definitely better than turd fighter..poor gottliebs got a bad rep but some solid titles albeit a different feel to bally/Williams that takes some getting used too and for the price compared to the others there's fun to be had for sure

 

[M4carp]

I played Gladiators at a league meet and thought it was ok, nearly bought one but missed out. I would have one.

Each to their own, you played Vector? Now that’s ****

Ok, il give it a longer go and ask for some pints as compensation

I agree of all listed Getaway and baywatch are the best. I have both and also dejp and lah. And of the 4 I have dejp comes next after Getaway and baywatch. But I would put Getaway and baywatch on a par. Getaway is a fast flowing game and baywatch more tactical and varied shots so it comes down to personal preference. Both are great games.

Yeh there pretty equal, gateway easier and cheaper to get, hence the extra

Still it's like comparing a runny with a

Nope. I did stick in a last minute bid today but didn’t quite hit the mark. £8100 was above my estimate and also nearly everyone elses. I have bought 2 pins of this seller though so I’m happy he got a great price for it. I hadn’t expected it to go north of 8k in the current market.

Still available @£13k from Pinballheaven tho......

 

[Asiapinball]

So this tells us that there were 2 bidders that were willing to pay £8k or more for it. The underbidder that bid £8K snd the bidder that won whos bid was somewhere over £8k but it could have been £8.1k or £9k or maybe more.

How much is a bally playboy worth? Redecalled cab, Fully working. all original boards work 100%, new Rectifier board. Backglass very good, playfield good. Brand new legs. All displays work, all bulbs work. see pics?

 

[steve brum]

Definitely not a WOKE machine

Surely 1500 to 2k to someone

 

[Matt Adams]

What is the current thinking on the price for a fully working WPC (A-129697-3 fully working no hacks) power board and a A-17651-50032 (a couple of jumpers on the rear) security board? Starting to have a bit of a sort out!

 

[FinalFight]

What should be looking to pay for a centaur now?
From rotbox - restored
Thank you

 

[AlanJ]

If you can get a project for under £1500 you are doing well. Upto 10k for a nib haggis. Fully restored original £4-5k

Trying to thin the herd. What’s a loaded HUO TWD LE go for these days. No marks on the cabinet. Has all the mods including colour DMD/LED and Flipper Fidelity speakers..
