so many variables.

-how much is a colour DMD worth, about £450?, and will you include the original DMD (worth about £80-100 these days?) in the sale?
-what is Pinsound board worth, about £220?, and will you include the original WPC-89 sound board (worth how much these days, £150?) in the sale?
-What is the hologram mod, do you mean the expensive video screen (£700 i think) or something else?
-is the original hologram green or blue? - and are all the mechs for it (lamp, mirror with motor, hologram holder and motor) all intact?

I sold my last Creech for £4000 about 18 months ago and have no idea where the market is now. i also can't remember what add-ons it had, if any. I'm *guessing* that a basic unmodified one with green hologram and average playfield goes for around 4K-4.2K these days and that therefore yours is worth about 5 to 5.5 depending on what those extras are worth.

I'd also be interested in this valuation and some confirmation of the numbers above, as I'll also be moving my latest (3rd) one on soon so I can upgrade for a minty one I have my eye on (that will be my 4th!) but mine doesn't have all those pricey upgrades, it's just a plain vanilla one. The game is a stone cold classic but the market is all over the place and not everyone will want to pay for those mods.
 
Would love a blinged minty Creech, he's our guy

Last one I recall selling was this one which took 3 months to sell earlier in the year and sold for £4k. Had pin2dmd and snackbar mod but blue creature which probably cancels out in terms of value in my view. So £4k for an unmodified creature sèms about right.

Pending.. Post in thread 'CFTBL £4195'

Jeez, the market is slow atm! £4195?

Any lower and I'll be chucking it on eBay

The mods will add value for some but not all. If it is the video mod that you have there is probably a total of £1,500 of mods at purchase price. Maybe you would get £800 to £1,000 for them if taken off and sold separately. Which puts the machine and its original.parts at £4.8k to £5k if you can find somebody that wants the mods.

Maybe add some if the machine was in super condition.

And the market seems flatter at the moment than it was even 6 months ago so difficult to be confident when stern Pros are changing hands at £6k.
 
Value on a roadshow please. Mates owned it for over 10 yrs. playfield very good ( no wear on the fish) no broken plastics and everything works as it should. Plastic ramps all good. One side of cab excellent, the other has slight fade.

What do people think a Williams Indy is worth? It’s the one on ebay that I’m considering. Playfield looks faded to me but cab decals look better so I assume they’ve been replaced at some point.

A faded cab one sold not that long ago for £7k

If the playfield is indeed faded, see if you can knock some money off to go towards a CPR playfield
 
Last Fathom on here was advertised £3250 but I bought it for £2750
I sold it 3 weeks later for £2750 not because I didn’t like it but someone made me a walking dead offer I couldn’t refuse
 
With the recent announcement of a new version of MET how much do you think my original is worth

MET Pro led (later version with metal back box and led lighting)
HUO
Color DMD
Total light show
Rising cross mod
Usual mods like snake teeth, snake body decal on ramp, sparky helmet wires etc

One sold earlier this year for £5k. It sold VERY fast. A little too fast actually as I ummed and arrhed too much and missed out 🤦‍♂️.
With the market dropping I’m not sure but I’d say £6kish…happy to be corrected if I’m out.

The UK is not even close. A number of EU countries have a higher VAT rate, Hungary has 27%. Belgium have corporation tax at 33.99% and VAT at 21%. It also has a 55% personal tax bracket.

VAT works well when you only buy and sell to organisations as it becomes a figure on the balance books. I charge VAT on all of my invoices and I pay VAT, the difference between what I charge and what I pay goes to HMRC, it was never my money. The pain comes when you are VAT register and sell to the public as it looks painful to them to see the 20%.

Any thoughts on a Deadpool Premium in this market? Mine recently came back from @new forest pinball and I don't really have the space for it so not sure what to do.

It's one of the newer ones with insider connected from factory. Stock apart from the Lucxor katana handle mod and the Hooked on Pinball throwing star pop bumpers.

The doom-mongers will tell you <£7k.

That seems a little on the low side for a newish premium. I think it should probably be around the 9k mark, that said I might know of a buyer if it was offered at 8k...
