What are people's thoughts on this one.  I have an opportunity to pick up a nice looking World Cup Soccer 94 tomorrow, a fair price, not a great price, but it looks to be in good condition.
I've never played it before.  I may pick it up to re-sell it if the interest is high (and I don't like it - I'm only so - so on sports themed pins, although my son loves them).

You will be surprised, It is a Fun game, that's all, Just fun.

Gooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllll!!!!  hehehe

Great player title. Worth picking up. Visiting Joe?

It is one of those $1800 shopped games that is great value and is fun, many say it is undervalued. But they did make 8743 of them, probably the reason they sell cheap. I say WCS is a lot of work to shop out properly.

Yes Joe.  I take it the machine's been offered around before.  Any suggestions / advice?  I have a buyer for FT (I think), so I am trying to bargain for two plus Return of the Jedi project, but he is fairly firm on price, and I unserdatand the machines are dirty, though the playfields look to be in good condition.  We'll see tomorrow.

My advice to you is you may be able use it for trade bait on a JM. No guarantee, but your not going too far wrong I would think.

Is it in nice shape? It's probably the same one I know of, and yes it's a really fair price if it is.

You are just one too funny dude.   I gotta get it home, clean it up and play it first.  Then explain to the SO why our line of credit just got deeper.... yeesh I am addicted.

From the pics, it looks nice.  Apparently EVERYONE's seen it....so why hasn't anyone taken it?  If it's how I think it is (but as Enzo will tell you, I'm no good at scoping via pictures), then it's a fair price, not a Zwackery deal (but there'll never be another one of those).  I don't really want to come home with two pins, I have a bun in the oven at Jims (PM) and no room... but FT's will pass through quickly like going throuhg a car was I hope.  Then I'll clean up WCS, give it some family time, then when PM pick-up time comes in December, I'll have to decide what to do with it.  Surely I can't keep them all?

Never had the game nor did I played it enough to form an opinion but it appears cause it's an ok game but once you have it, you're STUCK with it cause no one wants to buy it .

I beg to differ, WCS is one of the better b titles. I don't think he'd have a problem reselling it. Didnt wayne own a whodunnit at one point and resell it?

I agree with Mark, it is a good game, but it also is tough to sell. That WCS is in good shape, but I can think of quite a few pins I would want to have before it, and I think many others feel the same.

My experience has been the opposite. Easy pin to sell. Very family friendly. LOTS of kids play soccer so the theme is perfect. Fun game, great music and voices. Love "GOOOOAAAAAALLLLL!!" I sold my last one for $2K. It was fully shopped and I helped deliver it. I immediately missed it and bought another. It's a simple game w/ easy to understand rules. Not complex at all. Not too bad to shop. The only pain are the ramps. They are HUGE and take alot of time if the game is dirty.

I know the market has changed a bit so it might not be so easy to sell it for top dollar. If you could bring the seller down a bit, I think you would be in a safe position. Try offering $1,700. I think the game would sell quick at that price so you wouldn't be out anything. Of course, I am assuming it is in decent cosmetic condition.

Cheers,

Hey! I resemble that remark!!  The Who?Dunnit was in good condition (although I had lots of mechanics to fix). And it's a nice looking pin for any Clue enthusiast, it just doesn't hold interest for long term game play.  I did get my money back out of it, but only because of the value of the pins I traded for it.  I enthusiastically upgraded the DMD which was where my money went...  

It was still for sale in Stouffville a while back...
