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

What’s the Airborne on EBay probably worth? Looks a bit of a unique layout- are boards, flipper mechs etc unobtainable if this goes wrong?

Yeah, I fancied it when it was a private sale on FB at £2k. Good game, but the rarity of parts put me off. £3k flipped still probably ok if it’s a keeper.
 
Capcom Airborne, great fun game , I paid around 2k a while ago for mine and had to source it from Holland.
I’d say it’s worth £2.6 to £3.2 depends on condition, parts are scarce for theses but there are a few out there and boards can be repaired. Very reliable machines Capcom and very well built. Pretty rare to see an Airborne come up for sale when I wanted one I couldn’t fine one that’s why I bought one from overseas. I’d say the £3k asking price is fair and still has some meat on the bone.
Big fan of Capcom pinball machines, I have four and would love a Kingpin.
 
Capcom games really well built.. I was also
Interested in the Airborne at £2K one point Facebook but was pipped at the post.

Boards are getting harder to source now, Pinballspares in AUS did have a lot of Capcom parts.

He sounds like an identikit Harry Bolt, that was his method too. 13 people as I recall that he fleeced with pin sales, plus no doubt more on the arcade cab scene. During my years away from the hobby, his gf actually phoned me to apologise for sticking up for the little pri_ck, said she now saw my point (she had previous phoned me several times in boyo’s defence, denying that he had any sociopathic or untrustworthy tendencies). I hope she moved on.

We need a rogues gallery. I just searched up that harleycoast person (Peter Hardman as I now know) as I thought it might be the little HB gremlin. There’s been three people mentioned in the last week - Reeds of Blackpool, that Williams Amusements lot, now this harleycoast character. Gaping anu_ses the lot of them.

More of a problem during the covid bubble, any pinball was bought and flipped made getting hold of any pinball very tough. There seems to be no shortage or new or second hand pinballs now. Any pinball listed overpriced will sit unsold. Buyer beware.

On the other side, anyone whose business is sourcing pinballs, fixing up and selling to new comers (with support) will be very tough at the moment. Without support to end users it will end in tears.

I think the wipe with an oily rag type traders will always attract criticism. But when it’s their job, they need to make money.

There will be some on here that do up pinballs as a hobby but look to recoup some of the costs involved. Value has been added after all.

There will be some who always sell for less than they bought for. This keeps the hobby alive and surely where bad feelings are harboured, when a saving gets passed on to someone making a profit?

Value is seen differently by everyone, and multiple opinions and viewpoints is healthy. It also creates friction and in high pressure situations that’s where fire starts…
